Here is the final look for my Alice in Wonderland series. Spent too many time on styling the hijab lol oh well. Needed to attach the headband on hijab so.. I felt a bit up and down when doing this though, reminded me of my childhood. I used to dress up as Alice almost everyday when I was little. Hmph. ? #Alice . #muamalaysia #makeupartistmalaysia #malaysianmakeupartist #hijabimua #makeupartist #makeupaddict #makeupmafia #makeupporn #cosmetics #charactermakeup #fantasymakeup #faceart #maquillage #disneygram #facepaint #amazingmakeupart #queenofhearts #whiterabbit #onceuponatime #disneycosplay #disneymakeup #halloween #fairytale #freckles #queenofluna
