we could stare

This is incredible. The makeup is flawless, and such a wonderful, 100% unique design, unlike any stylized makeup I've ever seen before. Your simple yet surreal expression works perfectly with the design. The lighting is so soft and clear. The detail, even into the depths of your eyes, is breathtaking, and your manipulation of the image is perfect and adds just the right amount of subtle strangeness, the icing on the cake.
Truly great work--what an inspiration!
