I worked these two stock photos in PS. First I took the "crowd" photo and chose FILTER > PIXELATE > MOSAIC and set the size to about "145". Next I created a new layer with the "girl", above the "crowd". I used a layer mask to fade out the background to the left of her face... creating a nice blend with the layer below. Then I applied "Difference" as the blend mode. I then duplicated this layer (so there were two of the "girl") and I left the "Difference" mode the same. I applied a motion blur on that one to give the smeared makeup effect. A little rendered lens flare in the pupil of the first "girl" layer... and voila. A Smoosh-terpiece. ;) I hope you like it.
