With this makeup I wanted to challenge myself and try something new, something that required technique that I wasn't sure I had lol. Painting gems is hard, (at least for me) because you have to draw super straight lines and when your hands are shaking it's not the easiest thing in the world ^^... you also have to draw decend symetrical lines, which is not my strong suit !! And finally, since you're working with one main color (blue in my case), you need to do a lot of highlighting and shading so the rock will look three-dimensional and (kinda) transparent ! 😵 This little bastard took me 3 hours 😂

 

But I'm happy with the result and I'm glad I got that diamond challenge out of my system ! 😅
