The Summer 2014 i-D Magazine editorial shot by photographer Nick Dorey highlights the seldom seen beauty of haute face paint. In each picture, models Juliana Schurig and Carla Ciffoni portray the mass appeal of shimmering silver and orange shades, each one picked out by make up expert Isamaya Ffrench.
Working alongside Ffrench was stylist Jack Borkett. Borkett contributed to the offbeat face paint designs with athletic apparel, seen in numbered jerseys and cotton t-shirts. In this way the production is both upscale and relaxed, featuring bold cosmetic looks while also showcasing laid back styles.
Accessories are also essential to this i-D Magazine spread. A large safety pin necklace is paired with metallic earrings, making for a chic yet grungy appeal.
