Model Grace Gao channels her inner Geisha for the Rodeo Magazine Autumn 2012 editorial. Of course, instead of the typically put together ensembles and stoic expressions, she is full of vulnerable emotions, which happens to complement the disheveled hair and makeup perfectly. As though distraught over her lot in life, the Chinese beauty adopts a dark look that embodies her inner turmoil.
The Rodeo Magazine Autumn 2012 editorial was shot by photographer Bjarne Jonasson. Giving edge to the Eastern beauty ideal, makeup artist Lynsey Alexander starts with a white canvas and then layers on bold black brows and peach lips. Hairstylist Daniel Martin complements this mask with frizzy hair. The beauty looks were finished by stylist Ellen Af Geijerstam.
