Black Dahlia

Hey everyone!

I'm back again with another Halloween look.  I've been watching to do something different, especially from what everyone else is doing.  It seems that everyone is whippin' up sugar skulls & Poison Ivies left & right & it's hard to be original when you're bombarded with all these things.  I've also been wanting to practice SFX makeup so I just thought the Black Dahlia would be something original.

I kept the eyes simple because Elizabeth Short--dubbed the Black Dahlia after her gruesome murder-- was from the 40s & they didn't wear too much eye makeup then.
