Red pigments were blended on her lids and lower lash line for a little color.

And what’s better than a classic red lip?

The extravagant dress and cat nose were surprisingly cohesive and the hood with cat ears completed the look.

Her hair was slicked back, with pieces looped around her head in an abstract pattern.
