Love Never Dies: Sid & Nancy


Yay for recreating legendary looks! The amazing and talented former punk rocker, Daniel Jung, who is now a photographer (and a damn good one) wanted to revisit his roots in this look alike photo shoot highlighting Sid Vicious, of The Sex Pistols, and his queen, Nancy Spungen. For those of you who do not know, they were iconic punk rock royalty in the late 70's.
Nancy had a knack for too much makeup that I wanted to update somewhat, but still capture the over dramatic, over done, downright trashy look. I used a black kohl eyeliner pencil to lay the shape down to make sure not to screw it up with shadow...its too hard to fix a mistake when it's shadow! I then went in with my Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box and bumped it WAY up. I also used some copper color glitter to make the lids pop. I used Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in NSFW to get the gooey red lip that Nancy commonly rocked.
