MU/Hair/Costume/Headdress: Me

I worked on the costume and headdress for 3 months, I made everything from scratch. The horns have about a thousand sequins that i attached individually, swearing at the hot glue gun burns everytime, the eye mask was sculpted to the models face 2 months prior to make sure of a perfect fit, and all the embellishments on the eyemask were hand cut. I'm not a dress maker, but I put things together the best way I can, so alot of the time, was spent on my knees, doing hours of hand stitching on the hip harness dress thing, I don't know quite what to call it, but all parts of this costume was to convey the story of Chastity.

In brief:

Chastity embodies all that is beautiful and sensual: Metallics, jewellery, nudity, makeup, dress up, animal empowerment, colours, colour relationships, balance

Constraints: trapped by excess, harness, chains, locks, keys

Love: searching, yearning, loneliness, freedom, female empowerment
