Venice Carnevale 2013 Gran Ballo Mascheranda |
Here's one I forgot to post last month!
As mentioned in some (reasonably) recent Facebook posts, I was lucky enough to attend a masked ball in Venice as part of the 2013 Carnevale celebrations. I wanted to go the whole hog, to dress up in period costume, period wig, jewellery, makeup, the lot.
Research into the makeup suggested simple; very whitened, powdered, matte makeup, red "rouge" and a stained red lip. Minimal eyeliner and mascara, just enough for definition. Essentially this was the same for both men and women :-)
