I suppose many of you recall that I build models as a hobby. My current project is a figure of a demoness dressed in a bridal gown and veil, holding a bouquet and accompanied by a little demonic ringbearer.
Her gown will be a pearlescent white and her hair black; and her skin will be a pale lavender, fading into darker lavender-purple mottling near her hairline and on her shoulders and wings.
The question is, what color eyeshadow should she be wearing? And lipstick? (Nothing too exaggerated now; this is her wedding day, and she wants to look nice. On the other hand, she is an aspect of Evil personified. )
(For lipstick I’m leaning toward a dark blue, but the eyeshadow has me stumped.)
Normal white-skinned humans tend towards red/pink lipstick and blueish eyeshadow.
Since you’ve already selected blue lipstick, it seems red/pink eyeshadow would be the way to go. the color choices are like a photographic negative, the opposite of correct / normal. Which is appropriate for the personification of Evil.
I opened the thread hoping the OP was going to regale us with tales of their friend or relative the Bridezilla with the weird makeup-related problem. Those are always good for a laugh. Oh well.
Could do an off-white frost eyeshadow, or even a blue/frost that compliments the lipstick. If she’s big enough to do eyeliner, a midnight blue liner, slate lid color and frosted highlight just under the brow. Should look nice with the lavender skin.
Probably a solid orange-red glow-y color. (No irises or pupils) Although that could be changed, if there’s some great idea out there that wouldn’t work with orange.
