Floral Inspired Makeup


For this week's MakeupGeek challenge, we were asked to create a look inspired by a flower. I chose one of my favorite flowers- hydrangeas. At my house, we have a hygrangea bush that blooms in late spring. I absolutely love seeing the lavenders, periwinkles, purples, pinks and blues come out. Hygrangeas originated in Japan and are the official flower of 4th wedding anniversaries. In folklore, if someone cast an evil spell on you, hydgrangeas were used to reverse the curse. They represent friendship, understanding, heartfelt emotions and sincerity. This look is a bit avant-garde; certainly not for everyday wear. But I had fun with it!
