Ali
Emerging after the last lockdown this look created by upcoming make-up artist Ali Aslam for Halloween is rather menacing and foreboding. The look relates to the darkness of lockdown.

Senisha
When it comes to fantasy make-up no one does it better than Senisha. Using her own face as her canvas Senisha combines her artistic skills and knowledge of make-up to create some amazing looks. This look symbolises the two faces she has had to adopt during lockdown. Her vulnerability brought on by uncertain times of the pandemic is masked by her sassy and brave face.
