Photographer Michael David Adams' latest image series entitled 'Sent From Above' captures model Cecile. The crimson-haired beauty is lensed in a dreamy set of portraits while holding a series of [underwater poses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coral-soaps-collection).

This striking and ethereal editorial features pale-faced and [bold-lipped beauty looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-beaut-louis-vuitton-campaign) courtesy of makeup artist Mary Irwin. From blood red lipsticks to dramtic brow applications, this beauty story revives retro sophistication for a modern generation.

This aquatic image series is the opposite of expected thanks to its gorgeous and surreal views of red-haired beauty Cecile. The Wilhemina model embodies the role of [gorgeous mermaid character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-the-little-mermaid-collection) as she swims below water while keeping her composure and giving the camera an endless amount of poised facial expressions.
