Wicked Affair

Quite an interesting look. I like the concept in theory, but it could be a bit more dramatic. There’s something about the eyeshadow or even lack of contouring on the cheeks that is missing or just plain off…

I’d like to see this executed again… flirting with chiaroscuro… and letting a bit of evil in.

Two incredible artists that simultaneously inspire me…

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life…”
