I'm a big fan of the [monochromatic makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmetic-clinic) rocked by the models in Rosario Ruiz's 'Colormiuse.' Each model has a different color scheme that is continued throughout the look, from hair accessories to makeup and jewelry. Avant-garde sculptural hair completes the incredible effect.
