With the days counting down for carnival, you’ve probably ALREADY got your costume and accessories.  What about your carnival makeup? Any ideas yet?

Have you booked a make up artist or are you doing your own makeup? What kind of look best matches your costume? Do you like gems? A more artistic look? Do you want something super edgy, sultry or ethereal? So many questions can make something so simple overwhelming especially if its your first time or your only carnival for the year.
