I am fortunate to have a close friend with a mannequin rental company who also rents wigs. I was able to borrow a wig and a mannequin. I applied the makeup on the mannequin using a silver-based foundation and bronze eye shadow to bring light/life to the face. The dress was provided by a model friend who helped with the makeup too. The music group Evanescence inspired the title and look from their song "Bring Me Life".
That's great to be able to have access to mannequins, take advantage of it, there's so much you can do with them.... I look forward to seeing more.
