A little on the side of my usual content, but hey…! Those of you who follow me on instagram have probably seen this look already, felt like posting more pics of it nevertheless. I love experimenting with makeup, especially when incorporating ancient norse symbols and runes. It’s my thing. The icelandic magical staves, Galdrastafur, were my main source of inspiration for this specific look. Usually, these kind of ideas spring to mind when I am doing something extremely boring, or even when I am dreaming. To me, Putting on makeup is a hobby, a ritualistic act, and meditation -all at once-. On a higher level, it is my attempt at making everyday art that ties the ancient heritage with the Urban way of life.

I don’t know which is the most scary. The serious look, or the smirk at the bottom. Very cool.
What an awesome compliment! Thank you!!
You are a true artist. Taking thought to life. 🙂

I LOVE the forehead piece! The mouth, not so much. It reminds me of Mexican Day Of The Dead make-up (Dia de los Muertos). Blessed Be!
Thank you. I was hoping someone would be repelled by my mouth!
You inspire me a lot!
The way you introduce magic and art in everyday life, it really makes it worth living, doesnt’ it?
I have been wanting to do something in the same spirit inspired by the Egyptian gods.
But if you want I will post a link to your Instagram to indicate were the original idea came from.
Keep on doing these make-ups, I love them so much!
A link to my instagram (@thevikingqueen) would be very much appreciated. Good luck with your makeup and art- sounds really interesting! The egyptian gods have fascinated me for many, many years. Thank you for your kind words!
