Horror and Fashion

In our lesson we were given the choice of different images from runway shows that have influences from horror. I chose the one below from the 2009 John Galliano Fall show. 
najeema (2009) Galliano fall/winter 2009 runway makeup. Available at: http://www.astylizedhysteria.com/galiano-fallwinter-2009-runway-makeup/ (Accessed: 9 March 2016).
I was really drawn to this makeup look because it was very pretty and was very fantasy-like rather than scary. Furthermore I loved the texture that it showed, I thought that the pigment on the cheeks adds a beautiful dewiness to the skin along with the shine that is on the lips. 

As I didn't have my liquid metal palette with me, I found it more difficult to get the same density of colour with just the gold from the SupraColour palette. However I used the pigment from Illamasqua on the cheeks to give the highlight, which I think adds a really nice effect to the skin and replicates the dewiness seen in the photo. 
I decided to use more purple and pink toned shadows instead of the black and grey, I thought that it would look a bit better with Justine's skin tone. I think that it still keeps in with the tone of the original image, especially with the different textures on the lip and cheeks, but adds a different look to the original idea. 
I did try to add some of a pearlescent colour to her lashes, however nothing that I tried worked which is down to me not having my Liquid Metal palette in my kit, which would've been the ideal product to use
