Costume, Hair, Make-up by Denise Kuan
Photography by James Kuan, in Los Angeles

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!
