# Vibrant Tropical Beauty Captures Steve Kraitt's 'Fruit at the Bottom' Series Features Heavy Makeup By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-08-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavy-makeup References: [inspirefirst](http://www.inspirefirst.com/2013/08/16/fruit-bottom-steve-kraitt/) & [kraitt](http://www.kraitt.com/) Heavy makeup can be extremely overpowering, especially when it is in such bright colors. Steve Kraitt's 'Fruit at the Bottom' photography series manages a beautiful balance, even though the model's lips and eyelids are fully painted. The striking series features a female face with [tropical-colored makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds) on her. One of the shots even features [purple, a highly unusual lip color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-of-secrets-collection). Heavily-saturated colours like purple, yellow and green are unconventional, but in this case, they work well to highlight the model's features. The photos range from peaceful poses with eyes closed to show off the beautiful spectrum of colors swiped across eyelids, to suggestive and ferociously feral. The [exotic makeup looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camlia-futura) are striking and skillfully applied, showing off the beauty of the model and Kraitt's talents as a photographer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bright Color Makeup:** The trend of using heavy, vibrant colors in makeup to create unconventional and striking looks. - **Exotic Makeup Looks:** The trend of using tropical-inspired colors and unique techniques to create captivating and skillfully applied makeup looks. - **Photography Series:** The trend of creating photography series that feature bold, colorful makeup as a central element. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Opportunity for brands to develop and market bold, vibrant makeup products that cater to the demand for unconventional and eye-catching looks. - **Photography and Modeling:** Opportunity for photographers and models to collaborate and create visually stunning images that showcase unique and exotic makeup looks. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore the use of bold, vibrant makeup as a medium for creative expression and to push the boundaries of conventional beauty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mermaid-Inspired Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection.md) - [Beautifying Berry Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-kiss-smoothie.md) - [Sculptural Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-and-highlight-palettes.md) - [Peach-Inspired Makeup Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-peach.md) - [Blue-Tonal Makeup Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kulfi.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Grungy Movie-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-magic-beauty.md) - [Grocery-Themed Holiday Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benemart.md) - [Playful Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clinique-x-crayola.md)
