Makeup Geek Contest: Moulin Rouge inspired by Satine

One of Makeup Geek's Weekly Challenges was Parisian Inspired. When I think of Paris, I think of the Effiel Tower, Berets, Poodles and yummy Macarons.  Then I thought about movies set in Paris and I instantly thought of Moulin Rouge!! If you haven't seen Moulin Rouge, I urge you to go to your favorite video store and rent it. It is such a visually s t u n n i n g movie and it has a clever twist on using modern day songs in a period movie. Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mcgregor just kill it in this movie, their voices especially , I'm getting chills just thinking about it really... lol    So anyways I did my look inspired by Nicole Kidman's character Satine which she has a classic look with a bright red lip.
