Nobility Series - Marie, eat your heart out!

Queens of Ages

Please check out my look and click the little "luv" button of you like what you see here on makeup bee.

This is my entry into the Makeupbee competition entitled d'Antoinette inspired looks. It also gave me the idea to do a series on Nobility called "Queens of Ages". My entry is inspired by both the soft and harsh qualities of Marie Antoinette; the coquettish lady and the guillotine that ended her life.

The pink and purple colours represent the macaroons and French delicacies the Queen was privy to, the very pale foundation because the ladies in those days used white lead based powder, and the silver curved wing represents the guillotine.
