Carnival Special: Galaxy Make-Up - Miss Known
February is known worldwide as to the lovers’ months, especially the 14th. Keeping Valentine aside, there is also another thing this month is known for, carnival.

Although, I decided to try and come up with a character for that look. When I started creating a backstory for this galaxy-make-up persona, I ended up creating a little world. I was up until 3 in the morning brainstorming what that character was and where it was from. I have to say, I got pretty excited and would love to get all the bits and pieces coming to life.
