The fairest of them all...








Today we dive into an age old tale that has captured so many throughout time. A story that has inspired with its charm and beauty. We are so excited to share with you our own rendition of the classic beauty with "lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow."


Snow White has a very iconic look and Veronica felt that it would be best to honor that classic look. She did not want to stray far from the original makeup but still wanted to add some personal creative elements. To do so she added red glitter pressed on top of  MAC Cosmetic's lipstick in "Russian Red" for that perfect traditional shade of vibrant red. For an extra unexpected element Veronica decided to glue sea salt to the collar bones and brush sparkly glitters and powders across the top to give the illusion of frost/snow. The eyes were meant to be much like what you see in the animated film where Snow White has rich matte shades of brown on her lids and crease. To achieve this she used Too Faced Cosmetic's Chocolate Bar palette. The eyes were finished with a pale shimmery champagne color on the inner corners, winged liner, and Ardell false lashes. The cheeks were a rosy pink shade with a bright and sparkling highlight on top of the cheekbones. Her hair was finished with a headband Veronica made that was embellished with a red satin ribbon bow and rosettes. Our stunning model Alex happens to look just like Snow White so re-creating this look on her was nothing short of magical!

In order to recreate the delightful and dainty Disney Princess Snow White outfit Samantha decided to drape a custom white tulle skirt with A TON of gold glitter on it for that whimsical fairy tale affect! The skirt is finished off with pretty red rosettes. She paired the delicate tulle with a white and black Frederick's of Hollywood corset for an alternative yet classic Kiss or Kill flare element.
More glittering tulle is draped around our model Alex's shoulders into a cascading bell sleeve shawl. For accessories Samantha finished off the look with red T-straps, a vintage statement necklace, and pearl earrings.

We hope you all enjoy this Snow White recreation!
This was a magical experience for us to produce!
Thank you to our beautiful model Alex Rido for being so lovely and patient and a true princess for us!
Happy Holidays from The Kiss or Kill!

XOXO
