IMG model Adela Stenberg stars in this cosmetics photography series by the legendary Jason Kim. The model is lensed inside a studio setting that consists of red and grey background vignettes. Donning powerful and linear makeup, the model pulls off conceptual looks that range from linear lipstick applications to reverse false lashes that are more eye-catching and surreal than they are practical.
Gracing Vogue Russia's September 2016 issue, this portrait series celebrates makeup artistry by Tatsu Yamanaka at Marie-France Thavonekham and features chic hair styling by the talented Olivier Lebrun at Jed Root.
Wardrobe styling for this cosmetics photography series is the work of Katerina Zolotobutrova who opts for a mix of sculptural and monochromatic pieces. She breaks these up with subtle pops of crimson hues that match this editorial's makeup and backdrop vignettes.
