Beauty and The Beast

Hi! Today I'm here with a two in one post as the title suggests.

My major inspiration for the "Beauty" part was Simone Simons, specifically this photo Tânia's father took when Epica came to Hard Club in Porto. Here's the photo I used as reference.

As you can see by the photo, Simone had a (quite dramatic) metallic shimmery blue eyeliner but other than that, the look seemed very  natural and simple. The lips are not visible on the photo but Tânia described the lip shade as a brick red.

The "Beast" part was my imagination coming to life. I had a fishnet weave cap that I didn't use at all so I decided to give it the best use.

My idea was to create some sort of mermaid'ish character but it turned out a bit darker and, therefore, I decided that it could be a siren.
A siren that was feeding on some sort of magic creature, and that would be where the glitter dripping down the sides of the mouth came from. The glitter drips aren't as visible as I would wish but they're there!
