Halloween Banshee Makeup.....The Wailing Woman of Irish Lore

Hey Guys:)
So here's my first Halloween makeup of the year!!
It's my interpretation of how I think a banshee would look.
For those who don't know, a banshee (Bán Sí) is from Irish Folklore and was a spirit who roamed the Irish hills usually a beautiful youthful looking redhaired girl. But in her wailing form she took on the look of a decreped old hag with long white hair and a grey cloak. Ancient Irish families (the Mac/Mc's and the O's) were said to be the families to have the Banshees attached to them. And when someone in the family was close to death, the banshee could be heard wailing or keening (ag caoineadh) nearby.
I wanted to make myself up to look how I actually thought one would look which was basically an aged, haggered woman, worn out from centuries of crying...
Hope ye like the look:)
