Sometimes It Doesn't Work Out

If, as an artist, you continually test yourself, eventually you will come across a challenge that is... well, challenging. Something that takes a few tries to be satisfied with, and many more to be happy with the end result. This is the case with Mystique, which has always been a makeup look I have struggled with. Lots of people think "She's just blue, that's not difficult." Actually, that's what makes the look so hard, the monochromatic nature of it! I have failed at this look multiple times, but the best version of my attempts was one that I made in class a few weeks ago:

It's funny how when you take makeup off, you can learn a completely new technique. Like using latex to block off parts of your face flawlessly.
