The Dazed & Confused Korea March 2012 editorial may feature some fun and flirty fashion looks, but the paint-splattered faces steal the show. Clearly inspired by the colorful clothing designs, the beauty looks nevertheless take on a life of their own, giving the '60s-inspired wardrobe a playful modern twist.
