Costume:
The first thing I did was go to Olivia's house to search through her closet. I picked out lots of black to style her in and gave myself a lot of options for her to try on. Here you can see her with all the clothes I picked out for her in her hand.
After picking out many options, we went back to my house. She tried on many different options (leggings, crop tops, long sleeves) in many different combinations until we settled on what is shown above (a black tank with black jeans). I really like how her outfit turned out because I thought it was the perfect balance of more of a standard basic outfit but also still more unique and alternative. I decided to have her take off her many gold necklaces to replace them with the one in the picture. It's a black necklace with the rune Gebo. This is another element that I think really represents Nicky's love of witchy things, hence why I thought it would be cool to include.
Makeup:
In terms of makeup, I wanted to keep it simple but still a bit edgy. I had Olivia do her normal base routine (natural makeup like concealer, blush, and highlighter), and I focused on her eyes. I emphasized her beautiful hazel eyes by using Kajal (a black eyeliner) in her waterline (you can see me doing this in the picture above). For lips, I used Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lipstick in medium to create a dark but not too dark lip.
Above is the completed makeup look I did. I think it turned out great—a perfect balance of alternative and more basic/standard. As you can tell with both the costume and makeup, I really wanted to balance a more alternative look with a more conventional look to encompass how Nicky keeps us with trends. She doesn't do anything that would make her considered an outcast and does whatever seems to be trendy.
Overall I really like how both the makeup and costume turned out. I think Olivia looks great and is now more than ready to be Nicky!
