Feathers
Feathers, fishtails, animalistic and a whole lot of wow!
Hair
I sectioned out a triangle section through the top of Caitlyn's hair.
Divided it in half and used wax to smooth it down. Braided each side using a two strand braid, only adding to one side. This creates a roll or twist like effect towards the parting.
The rest of her hair was smoothed back and secured into two fishtail braids.
I then fish plaited two 1 meter lengths of hair to secure the ends and attached the lengths at the mid way point, working them into Caitlyn's hair. This created three fish plaits on each side.
I LOVE THIS HAIR!!!
Makeup
I crafted mask like peacock brows by attaching many small peacock feather tips in layers. The result is scale like.
A fine black vale was plaited on top and large black feather lashes used like a brow.
Metallic gold and olive eyes take colour palette from the peacock feathers, lashes applied to the lower lash line.
Airbrushed skin and a peach pout.
My favorite image!

Milan Meets Paris, Project Italy Day 30
Today my 30 Day Challenge comes to an end and I'm celebrating with Milan Meets Paris, A Fashion Week Tribute.
Hair and makeup inspired by 80s Vintage Ungaro for Milan Meets Paris Fashion Week.
Brushed out curls!
Here's how I wore my fringe in the 80s - I couldn't resist. Makeup is bold horizontal eye makeup, blush and a bright lip.
The colour palette for this look is taken from my vintage Ungaro Jacket. I picked up this baby from the Navigli Antique Market in Milan.
Designed by Emanuel Ungaro in France and made in Italy.
Hair and Makeup by yours truly.
Quello che un giro! Grazie a tutti!
