Flower Series: Chrysanthemum

As you may know if you read my intro post on this blog, I have another passion other than makeup; I have always had a love for photography. So a while back when I was looking through my photography folder and came across all these beautifully coloured flowers, I decided to meld my two passions together into a series of makeup looks inspired by the flowers I have photographed. I have 5 looks planned, and this is the first of those five.

This one is inspired by a flower that I don't think is actually a Chrysanthemum but I don't know what it is, so I'm going with Chrysanthemum :P. If anyone can correct me, I'd be grateful!

I did one version of this look a while back (posted here), but I didn't think it was good enough to make official, so I made a face chart and today I produced the look I had planned.

So here we go!

First, the photograph I was inspired by:
