Bonjour mes belles :)
I'm feeling melancholy and pensive, so I won't make it a long post of chatter... I'll just show you my eye of the day (something new for me) and the source of my inspiration. Hope you like this type of post :)
See more pix!
There's something very Tim Burton about these trees... they are dark yet they are light, simple yet complicated, flourishing yet somehow broken... Looking at this picture is almost like looking at a puzzle, yet there's no mystery to solve :)
I like to play with opposites, so I created a simple yet dramatic eye makeup look, inspired by the picture above. I wanted to capture the corrosion of the branches and the complexity of the color palette, but I didn't want to be too literal.
There's nothing like a stroll through the forest with the sun rays peeking through the dense trees
