Flower has languished, paintless, since he finished playing Mackenzie in Me and My Muses, but I have finally been giving him a new faceup recently.

The development of this faceup began when Flower emphatically stated that he liked his Mackenzie wig, shown below.

The pink/purple/green combo fits him much better than his original pale lavender wig, which was not bold enough for him. Because I like that color trio and because Flower has pinks and purples in his skirt, I decided to put that palette to work in his faceup.

DraagonStorm’s Instant Makeup for V5 UV Sets came in handy as I tested the feasibility of the planned palette. Jareth willingly modeled, not so that I could create Flower’s makeup digitally before actually doing it, but just so I could see if the colors worked well together.

Usual sources for Jareth. Hair is AprilYSH’s Deeta Hair 2.
