For all of the bright lights and nearly natural beauty looks, there is a darkness about the Narcisse Magazine AW13 editorial that will enchant people instantly. As though created for a fairy tale movie, the looks could easily belong to a bewitched princess or a misunderstood queen. Yet magic aside, the looks will inspire women to get a little creative this season.
The Narcisse Magazine AW13 editorial was shot by photographer Martin Vallin of Camera Link. Titled 'Echo,' it stars model Jenna Earle, who sports a sleek updo courtesy of hair stylist Takayuki Nukui. Yet it is the work of makeup artist Ludovic Engrand that is truly impressive thanks to her stained lips and false eyelashes.
