“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”
- JRR Tolkien

Drafting and Planning/Organisation: Seven Deadly Sins Make-Up, 'Greed'

Again, after being inspired by the marvelous Klaire de Lys, alike my previous post, I attempted another make-up look of the 7 Deadly Sins with the supplies I had to hand. This time it was Greed, and was so much fun to do! :D

Greed:







I found this look so much fun to do, unfortunately I don't have the exact equipment to express the excessiveness of the greed (like, I haven't got the pearls and silver rhinestones Klaire used nor the gold pigment) and the brush I used to draw the scales around the eyes wasn't small enough to get the detail. But I done a fab job with what I had! Though Klaire had the 'banker' look, I feel like it could look a tad magician-like; if I were to take on this idea, it could be the fact Greed could be seen as a power mad magician who wants power over the world and has greed of wanting more and more. 

I just need to buy the right supplies closer to the time so I could do the characters justice in the trailer.

Just to note, the lip-stick effect, is supposed to take a literal approach on the phrase 'paying through the nose'. Here's Klaire's original make up tutorial of it down below!
