Seven Deadly Sins: Greed

Oh it's been a while since I've done a deadly sin. I guess I've just been a good girl. hah nope not me. I've just been really busy with school etc. Enough excuses, this is greed!

Greed is one of the sins with a deadly desire. In this case the desire to possess an excess of wealth and valuable objects. You have no intentions of making anything of your possessions, you just need to know they're yours. And that you own more than others. It's funny how this applies to almost everyone nowadays. Except nuns...
This is the one that's been the biggest bitch to me int the past. Not anymore though.




Originally I was going to paint my entire face gold, as if I had been touched by King Midas... Didn't work though. Just made me look extremely sweaty. So I went for my second option: the two faces of greed. You have your polished, pretty face, only showing a bit of the glam you own. And the "real you", reflecting the thirst for money you really have. 
I ended up only liking the "polished" side of my face. So that's what I'm showing you now! :)

I photoshopped the shit out of my eyes to make them look like gold.

Everything is shimmery or straight on glitter, resembling the life of the greedy. The green element underneath the eye is supposed to represent money (bills, you know). And I couldn't not add the lashes and the rhinestones. I mean, if you're going for glam you gotta go all the way.
You can kind of see that half of my face is in fact golden, but just think of that as the dark, secret identity of a greedy person.




Until next sin!


Ps. I didn't dye my entire head orange, just the front with a super permanent dye. The rest of the hair is basically my natural color but shinier.
