Contest Entry for MissChievous - Persephone

Hi ! Explaination about my choice of make - up that is inspired on Persephone or in latin Proserpina. I used a dark green (almost black) in the crease and outter corner to represent the darkness of the underworld, winter and autumn. And I used the gold glitters (and glitters who go on the fake lashes) to represent te spring, hope, life and summer. The deep rosered stands for the pomegranate who played a major role in the part and stands also for love. And the dramatic lashes stands for her goddesness (or something like that...) Greek gods are gorgeously over the top ! I hope you like it :) Short history : Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, the godess of agriculture and fertility. One day Persephone was playing around in the woods with some friends when the earth tore apart and she was taken/kidnapped by Hades, the god of the underworld. To make a long story short, Demeter was sad so she neglected where work, and the whole nature was looking like shit ( that explains the winter and autumn). Demeter went to Zeus to get a consensus with Hades, at first Persephone had to go back to earth, but she was kind of in love with Hades cause he fed here six seeds of the pomegranate, and everyone who eats in the underworld stays in the underworld. So they agreed that half a year she stayed with her mom and the other half (six seeds = six months) she stayed with her beloved Hades in the underworld.
