'Blue Iris' Look

'Blue Iris' Look

This look was inspired by a blue iris and is a part of the Flower Inspired Weekly Challenge at MakeupGeek. This is a really intense cut-crease look that some may not find "wearable". This is meant to be a creative or artistic look rather than "work-appropriate". : )
