The Rika Magazine Fall/Winter 2014 photoshoot provides an offbeat look at model Codie Young. In the faded black and white series, images of thin strips of paint were showcased to readers, speaking to the beauty of face paint for those looking for alternative approaches to cosmetics.
Make up artist Inge Grognard placed numerous thin lines on Young's forehead, nose and cheeks. The chaotic additions proved to be the perfect match for stylist Alexandra Carl who dressed Young in pliant dresses, furry jackets and geometric tops, each piece working with a pale color palette.
Hair expert Louis Ghewy paired Carl's outfits with flowing, messy waves. Young's pale tresses matched the apparel as the light shades came together expertly, due in no small part to the addition of rare beauty techniques.
