Wow, those headpieces are gorgeous! The make-up also looks stunning for each of the shots 💖 Out of curiosity, how long does it take to put everything together for the headpiece?

I realized just now I don't have a photo of one of the ones that take me forever, so I'm adding it here for reference

Sophie is outside in the middle of a corn maze with the sun's rays dappled over her. She has on a large gold halo headpiece with filigree, red rhinestones, and pearls. There is a smaller halo of red, orange, and yellow marigolds close to her hair, which is dark brown and in two long braids. She is wearing gold filigree earrings and a white traditional Mexican shirt in black and red Mixtec embroidery. She has pale skin and her face is painted in a white Catrina (decorative skull makeup) with red, gold, and black decorations that match the embroidery.

Thank you so much! 💖 Time depends on the design. The rays & filigree take significantly longer because of glue and paint drying/curing times. I'd say it's 6-8 hours to prep the base & design, ~1 week to glue & paint, then 2-4 hours for flowers & rhinestones. The ones without filigree take 4-8 hours.
