Steps:

1. Fill in black areas, using small amounts of acrylic.

3. Use Rock candy to color the eyes- leaving the highlight areas

near the bottom and color the eye shadow area.

4. Mix white and Rock candy for the lighter area in the bottom

of the eye; careful to use tiny amounts on a detail brush.

5. Use Apple powder and Raspberry cream for the rose and the

lips. Raspberry cream on the inside, and apple powder on the

outer edges of the lips.

6. Use Sour Apple and white for the rose stem.

candy for the left background, then wash over top with Shake

your groove thang.
