Having seen their pieces up close, I knew what great quality they were and I love this company's design aesthetics. I am also wearing a winged jetpack which was a collaboration between us (my <a href-"[link]">Steampunk wings and CCLW's leather and metal work).

Makeup-wise, I went for a harder & edgier look, using Ben Nye red pigments to create the bold extended eye shadow, and MAC and Sephora brand shadows (3 shades) to my eyes, from highlights to the blackest black color. MAC and Sephora both make great black shadows and I highly recommend them. For this look I "overdrew" the eyeliner (MAC Fluidline) to the inner corners of my eyes. It's usually something I only reserve for very staement-making makeup. I finished off the eyes with thick false lashes and bold eyebrows. For my lips I used dark brown eyeliner pencil to contour, a dark red lipstick, a brush to blend the color to the lipliner, and gold shadow pigment for highlight. My blush is Bare Minerals.
Amazing outfit. Amazing stance and presence. love your whole look. Nicely, nicely done. The shoot went awesome it would seem. I feel inspired. How do you feel about other artists borrowing your poses? I would make sure all involved would be properly notified and represented fo course.
You are too awesome for words...your work is so on pointe. a lot of times i see costumes and they have all the right elements but they don't fit like in the manga or anime. I appreciate your work
