It has taken me awhile to get this up, but here is my theme makeup look for Miss Havisham
"She was dressed in rich materials- satins, and lace, and silks- all of
white. And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she
had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright
jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay
sparkling on the table...She had not quite finished dressing, for she
had but one shoe on...her veil was but half arranged, her watch and
chain were not put on, and some lace for her bosom lay with those
trinkets, and with her handkerchief, and gloves, and some flowers, and a
prayer-book, all confusedly heaped about the looking glass...I saw that
everything within my view which ought to be white, had been white long
ago, and had lost its lustre, and was faded and yellow. I saw that the
bride within the bridal dress had withered like the dress, and like the
flowers, had no brightness left but the brightness of her sunken
eyes... Now, wax-work and skeleton seemed to have dark eyes that moved
and looked at me..."
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.
