WASHED FACE: - MF, FF, GNC:
Divine Birth
We call upon the Gods to help us cleanse from the stagnant energy that is causing us pain. In the spirit of water and rebirth, bring it like you're serving face the moment you left the womb and entered this world. The eyes, the nose, the skin, the teeth, and the structure. A washed face look that's dewey and wet in a nude illusion.

SHADY RUNWAY - AA, EU:
Grand prize: $500 + 2 trophies
Our Ego exists because it's important. It gives us the ability to override programming through conscious thought. However, its power has led humanity astray many times because our ego thinks it knows better. This is a sign of major imbalance. Instead, it should be alchemized, nurtured and loved so that it doesn't get out of hand. Let's celebrate the gift of ego, feel your biggest oats and bathe in its power so that the Ego doesn't feel the need to take over. Be shady because you are that bitch!!
PERFORMANCE:
Grand prize: $500 + trophy
