Applied makeup to face, hand, and hair. Even though it is difficult to tell, the white half does have makeup on it. But I do enjoy the b/w better then the colour version.

i really feel like this does not feel like a 'true' portrait due to the fact of how your holding the ball...It would had been really cool without the ball and with just your face instead to tell the story. Because a good majority of the color is in that ball, you want to focus on that and also the fact that your holding it up and really close to your face.
Nice one, Andrew! You are the SP master. I'm usually not a fan of selective desat, but you totally made it work here. How you come up with so many unique and refreshing ways to portray yourself is beyond me. Great job!
