Brunette beauties Iza Michalska and Estee Rammant star in 'Belle Epoque,' a Dior Magazine editorial that highlights the season's dramatic smoky eye looks. The shoot graces the publication's Winter 2015 issue and is lensed by photography legend Paolo Roversi.
Belle Epoque boasts high contrast and shadowed imagery and features makeup artistry by Peter Philips. Setting a dramatic tone for the holiday season ahead, the beauty expert opts for dark smoky eye looks and rosy lipstick shades rather than creating more traditional looks that feature glittering elements.
This Gothic take on holiday makeup is more sophisticated than traditionally festive cosmetics and will appeal to carefree fashion fans. It gives those who like to experiment with heavy brows an eyeshadows inspiration for both holiday and New Year's Eve celebrations.
