Creative concept, but it comes off as messy... and she's unrecognizable :[ Very interesting tribal-esque makeup, and it probably holds high symbolic importance to Nicki as a Trinidadian woman, but it could have been done much more beautifully. I don't blame Nicki, I blame the photographer and the makeup artist. :[
EDIT: There are actually MORE photos from this shoot that you didn't post, and two of them **** over all the rest! :] I posted them below.
