Focusing on darkly fantastical themes, the makeup looks can easily be referenced for the Halloween season. Until then, it advocates artistic applications that can be likened to water paintings.
Starring model Paulina Szczepkowska, Fears by Weronika Kosinska was shot in studio against a blank backdrop, which allows people to focus fully on the beauty looks. They were created by makeup artist Izabela Szelagowska. Complemented by a simple slicked back hairstyle, the looks are also reminiscent of oil spills. She focuses on everything from the brows to the ears.
