I'm at Anime Expo now, probably getting sunburn, but here are some photos from the shoot over the weekend for those of you who couldn't make it out here to sunny Los Angeles!!! Thanks for reading from the beginning of this journey, if you were!

For those of you interested, here's the make-up I used. I'm no expert make-up artist
but I enjoy this opportunity to try some different looks!

Lipstick: Maybelline Color Sensational in Pink Petal
Foundation: Laura Mercier
Loose powder: Bare Minerals
Eye makeup primer: Almay
Blush: NARS Mata Hari
Mascara: Chanel Inimitable
Eyeshadow: Chanel Quadra in Mystic Eyes
Eyelashes: Random brand from drugstore
Nail polish (not pictured): Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in "Diamonds"

And here are the earrings I got from Anthropologie! Very close to the video game.
A bit pricey for earrings I may only wear once....

Well, I hope you guys had fun reading my process, I sure went through a lot
constructing this costume! Thanks so much for reading!
