AUGH the photo doesn't capture a lot of things about the face painting on these guys. Two of the three sphinxes I'm doing right now. Both have a satin finish to them, EXCEPT for the nose, lips, and inner eyelids which all have gloss. The white one has a faint purple/green shimmer over her eyelids, and the green one has a very FINE line of green/orange shimmer along the edge of her eyelid. Her full eyelid was painted that way but it was too obvious so I toned it down a bit. I MIGHT add a few more tiny touches of the shimmer to the black one's face, but I'm not decided yet.
