This Dansk Magazine Spring 2014 beauty editorial goes a little overboard on the use of the blush.
Photographer Bo Egestrøm snaps up this kind of creepy makeup pictorial zoomed in and focused on the subject's face and features. Model Hanna Svensson is made up to look frightfully freaky. Her hair is styled on top of her head to take the shape of a pointed square, and on top of that, there is the truly outlandish makeup.
All the powdered cosmetics are applied with a liberal hand in this Dansk Magazine Spring 2014 makeup shoot. Svensson's face is painted a thick, ghostly white color. On top of that is overpowering pink blush that is almost all over the face and even creeps up above her eyebrows. The pink blush is applied in the shape of a heart. Meanwhile, dramatic eye makeup constantly changes from image to image.
