I was originally overflown with inspiration following the prompt "Femme Fatale". The deadly mixture of sexual power and femininity meant one name and one name only: Manav. In order to achieve something that was vaguely femme fatale, I watched make up tutorials on mimicking Audrey Hepburn's minimal yet striking look. We needed to give him deep set eyes, red lipstick, thick eye brows and eyeliner. Blush and highlight were encouraged. The wig, to Belle's disagreement, felt like it fit in with the femme fatale image, especially when tucked behind Manav's ear.
