The 'Color Me Blind' image series by Reno Mezger graces the latest issue of
GZ Plus. This [color-enriched editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-clinic) features Select London face Leanne Eshuis who channels a style chameleon while posing in a studio setting.

The model is transformed from edgy rocker to an ethereal goddess thanks to hair and makeup work by talented beauty artist Peggy Kurka. Leanne sports both slicked back hair looks and electric hued extensions that give her an edgier aesthetic.

The 'Color Me Blind' editorial for GZ Plus features creative art direction by Katja Herz. The conceptual beauty story plays with [bold cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barry-m-beauty) and [colorful body paint applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-elfnalysis) to bring model Leanne's beauty to life in an unexpected and unconventional way.
