Myths and Legends - THE FINALISTS!

I want to start off by saying a MASSIVE thank you to all the entrants who all obviously put tonnes of hard work, time and effort into their looks, not to mention researching various mythology on the internet! Unfortunately, we can't give prizes to you all (we have to pay our bills for one thing, lol), so after much deliberation we have managed to pick six finalists.

OK, So me and my fellow judge (thank god I have a fellow judge, I'd be rocking in a corner somewhere now going quietly deranged otherwise!) Krystal have been busy discussing these overnight and this morning!

So , in, no particular order! (All the finalists pics will be winging their way to Alex Box at Illamasqua, who has the unenviable task of chosing the two winners!)

First off, this fantastic last minute entry from Cat (http://swirledpeacat.blogspot.com/), Cat is relatively new to the blogging world, but already has a well deserved following! Her look is based on Senua, the Lost Goddess (http://swirledpeacat.blogspot.com/2009/07/senua-lost-goddess.html). Krystal and I clearly have a "thing" for unusual eyelashes lol!

Next, we have this fab entry based on Hera, the greek goddess of marriage and childbirth. Loved the poses girl! This is from the fab Belle Du Jour (http://belledujournewyorkcity.blogspot.com/). We love how Belle focussed on her eyes, creating a really effective look. Belle also did a fab valley of the dolls entry, which you can see on her blogspot.

Next up we have an entry based on the greek legend of Medusa, from new blogger Unicorn Smile (http://unicornsmilebeauty.blogspot.com/). It was the little details we loved with this one, as well as the overall look - the fanged effect on the lips and the creation of a snakeskin effect tights were the little creative touches we thought gave this one the edge!

Next Up, we have this look from Amy Allen (http://amyallensworld.blogspot.com/), based on the native americal myth of "The Spider Grandmother". We loved the use of the embellished false lashes, and the incorporation of the web into the design!

An amazing original and editorial take on the Medusa look from Jackie, who created four amazing entries in all, but this was our favourite - he's a very talented young fella, and his blog (http://ohthenews.blogspot.com/) is definately worth a look! We had a really hard time chosing between this and the cupid look Jackie created - but the imaginative use of colour and the fact that we though this look would just fit in on the catwalks was what gave this one the edge!

And last, but by no means least, we have an entry from Piggy at http://makeup-piggy.blogspot.com/. Again, piggy gave us three amazing entries, and we had a hard time chosing which one to go with, but we both really loved the detailing and seductive looks of her Succubus inspired look . Piggy obviously worked really hard on her entries and even included face charts!

Once again, thank you to all of the lovely people who did entries, like I said, I really wish we could give more prizes! Well done to all our finalists! Stay tuned for the winners who will be announced as soon as possible!
