# Painted Face Photography The Dazed & Confused Korea March 2012 Editorial Stars Alyona Subbotina By Meghan Young | Published 2012-03-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dazed-confused-korea-march-2012 References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/alyona-subbotina-yossi-michaeli-dazed-confused-korea-march-2012/) & [dazeddigital.co.kr](http://dazeddigital.co.kr/) The Dazed & Confused Korea March 2012 editorial may feature some fun and flirty fashion looks, but the paint-splattered faces steal the show. Clearly inspired by the colorful clothing designs, the beauty looks nevertheless take on a life of their own, giving the '60s-inspired wardrobe a playful modern twist.
