The FAINT Magazine May 2014 issue features models Agatha Frank and Melanie; however, you can barely recognize them due to the fact that their faces are fully adorned in diamond-like jewels. Their faces act as a canvases for makeup artist Liz Sharp to create diamond-encrusted mosaics on. Complimented with bold red lipstick, the looks are stunning and the models look very futuristic.

The photos were shot by Alexandre Dubois in a portrait style and many of them are taken in front of a background that looks like a disco club due to the multi-colored spots of light. The models' shiny faces appear to be acting as the source of the light because their faces emulate disco balls.
