⏰ Salvador Dali ⏰ ——————————————— ‘The Persistence of Memory’ For Halloween this year I wanted to combine my love of Art History and the Spooky Season of Halloween. SO, I decided to create a Halloween Makeup inspired by Salvador Dali! One of my biggest fears is running out of time, and not being able to be successful and productive in my time given to me, so that is what I am embodying here in this makeup. The @taimiapp is doing an amazing giveaway on their profile during this spooky season! If you would like to share your greatest fear in their comment section, you may be able to win! __________________________________ #drag #dragqueen #crimsyn #dragqueenmakeup #taimi #taimihalloween #halloween #halloweenmakeup #arthistory #salvadordali #thedragqueendom #dragperfection #qwerrrkout
