At once ethereal and haunting, the OOB Magazine ‘Toxik Beauty’ editorial will enchant people instantly. Clad in nothing more than frothy swaths of black and cream tulle, model Valeriia Karaman is a vision. Fashionising captures the essence of the photoshoot beautifully by describing it as, “The silent perfection of a melancholy daydream.”

Lensed by photographer Paul Morel, the OOB Magazine ‘Toxik Beauty’ editorial hammers home the concept of the French publication. Concerning itself solely with [beauty looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ordinary-x-uncommon), the photoshoot forgoes any unnecessary fashion frills in order for readers to focus on what really matters, the face.

In this case, the true star of the OOB Magazine ‘Toxik Beauty’ editorial is makeup artist Virginie Rascle, who gave the waif-like blonde [dark deep-set eyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), chiseled cheekbones and a pale complexion that is more suited for the winter season.
