Water-friendly makeup is a must for the summer season and while the Le Grand Bleu photo series might not necessarily showcase waterproof beauty looks, it does inspire women to start thinking about them. More than that, the photoshoot will inspire women to play with vibrant cosmetics that normally wouldn't be used by the pool or even at the beach. Forgoing a natural theme, the Le Grand Bleu photo series is bold and bright.
The Le Grand Bleu photo series was shot by New York City-based photographer Michael David Adams. The carnival of cosmetic colors was created by makeup artist Mary Irwin. The fun and feminine looks were complemented by vintage-style swim caps, which were selected by stylist Don Wes. As though influenced by birds of paradise, the makeup looks are striking.
