The done-up "undone" "cool girl"—an object of envy who wants for nothing and cares for just as much: unobtainable; a manic pixie dream falling apart.
Mixed medium: makeup, digital photography
I wanted to put together something aspirationally "undone"—I drew from the hyper-perfect Glossier girl but rolled it up with a modern take on the heroin-chic look that was romanticized in the 90s. (I'd like to make blatantly clear: this look was intended as critique of this "ideal." I in no way support cigarette smoking.) (I'd also like to make clear that the discoloration and veining on the eyes is makeup. I am not translucent enough for mine to be this predominant.)
