It wouldn't be at all surprising if people initially thought that these photos were rendered digitally rather than snapped in real life. From the surreal backdrops to the [unusual hair and makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-arts-salon), the models look like they traveled from a distant planet. Shot by photographer Gustavo Lopez Mañas, the ARARA by X-presion concentrates equally on [hair, makeup and fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kustaa-saksi1) for looks that are seamlessly in-character. Styled by Kattaca with makeup by Lewis Amarante, the looks range from studded skin to ridged hair and face paint. The luminous glow in the background of each photo lends a fantastical element that is incurably romantic and fairy-like. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Futuristic Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to experiment with unique hair, makeup, and fashion styles that combine futuristic and tribal elements. - **Fantastical Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore surreal, dreamlike backdrops in their photoshoots. - **Innovative Makeup and Hair:** Opportunity for makeup and hair professionals to explore unconventional styles and materials, such as face paint, ridged hair, and studded skin. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion brands can incorporate elements of ARARA's style in their upcoming clothing lines. - **Photography Industry:** Photographers can experiment with ARARA's surreal backdrops to create eye-catching and unique photoshoots. - **Beauty Industry:** Makeup and hair professionals could use ARARA's looks as inspiration to develop new styles and products that push the boundaries of conventional beauty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Virtual Craft Fusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnardo-collection.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Future-Facing Hair Colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aveda-vibe-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Modular Fall-Ready Layered Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcs-2.md) - [Futuristic Totemic Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-relics.md)
