There’s something of the haunted doll about the Rochas look, something of the “Mummy, why do I hear nursery rhymes in the night?” Hence: I love it. Spidery lashes, Bette Davis brows, fringes clipped on a bit wonky, uncanny stares, all the good stuff. Experiment with mascara and a dewy sheer base, then work your way up to the full dolly mixture.
