Decided to try to draw my eye in my forhead, but upside down. Used whatever makeup I had around, mascara, foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow. It didn't come out perfect, but I think it's close enough.

Quite clever this and very artistic I can appreciate the work that has gone in to making this shot, but for me there just needed to be more light in the real eye to really make it pop.
Wonderfully creative and painted. I think the lighting could have been improved to make above the real eye (as shown) less flashed, to score better. It's really an amazing job of the painting.
