Her beauty look was equally captivating. Willow paired the outfit with electric blue eye makeup that stretched dramatically across her lids, adding matching blue lashes, a soft rosy glow on her cheeks and glossy nude lips. Her signature facial piercings and a green pendant necklace tied the artistic aesthetic together.
