Japenese Cherry Blossoms: Kabuki inspired makeup

This is my look for Lauren Luke's contest on Youtube! The theme of the contest was flower-inspired, so I used Japanese cherry blossoms as my main inspiration, then added elements of traditional Japanese culture. The look was also inspired by Japanese kabuki theater makeup, geisha lips, and the kanji symbol for spring on my forehead, since I associate cherry blossoms with spring awakening.

 
  
  
  
These are some of the images I drew inspiration from:
   
  
And this is the Kanji symbol for spring:
