The Wonderland September/October 2012 cover shoot focuses on some extreme beauty inspiration. Taking experimental hair treatments to a whole new level, it encourages people to forego the now typical [multi-hued and ombre hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/witches-delight) for something a lot more artistic. Eliminating the need for sculpting gels and other products, it will have women plastering colorful paint all over their coifs in no time.

Shot by photographer Bjarne Jonasson, the Wonderland September/October 2012 cover shoot stars model Julia Valimaki. The Finnish beauty acted as a willing canvas to the strokes of makeup artist Kelly Cornwell. Concentrating on abstract applications of [vivid color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-play-beauty-campaign) and the [boldest of brows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barry-m-beauty), the looks are exquisite works of art for the glossy magazine.
