Carnival makeup ideas... if you're still looking for inspiration like I am. No face jewels for me this year, well that's what I'm saying now and that is liable to change lol. In my head, my heroin did not have face jewels, she had eyes and or lips that popped. So, I'm thinking I want to be adventurous with colors while keeping it pretty. My headpiece and mask has a lot going on and I have no plans on looking like a hero gone wrong...lol
