Photographer Angela Mazur captures 'Maxine,' a beauty story that spotlights fairytale makeup that is paired with vivid pink hair. Makeup artist Julia Edwards experiments with glowing skin, painted brows and pale, matching mascara. In addition to stark white brow and mascara shades, Edwards also creates looks that are more mermaid-like, blending technicolored hues of blue and violet.
Hair styling for the editorial is courtesy of Abigail Tyrrell who opts for a mix of sleek and wavy tresses that also add to this editorial's whimsical aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from otherworldly and mythical imagery, this fairytale makeup editorial is the opposite of subtle.
Borrowing from couture-minded runway looks, this beauty feature embraces bold makeup artistry and rejects the fashion industry's recent focus on understated and natural beauty applications.
