# Dusted Makeup Masks Yannick Verdier Monsegur's 'Utopia' Searches for Perfection By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-08-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yannick-verdier-monsegur-utopia References: [larapixie.blogspot](http://larapixie.blogspot.com/2009/08/utopia-by-yannick-verdier-monsegur.html) & [larapixie](http://www.larapixie.com) In this 'Utopia' editorial by Yannick Verdier Monsegur, model Sarah Beckingsale is photographed in a number of picturesque architectural settings in black angular separates. In Yannick Verdier Monsegur's 'Utopia' photo shoot, Sarah Beckingsale's angular bob sets off the geometric shapes in the clothing she wears, but it's the dusted makeup mask that grabs my attention most. Perhaps it's because the rest of her look is so polished and precise that her smudged makeup pops out in comparison. Check out my favorite images from the shoot above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DUSTED-MAKEUP-TRENDS:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop makeup products that create intentional smudged or dusty effects for a more edgy and unconventional look. - **GEOMETRIC-FASHION-TRENDS:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate geometric shapes and angular designs into clothing to create visually striking and modern fashion statements. - **ARCHITECTURAL-PHOTOGRAPHY-TRENDS:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore photography techniques that combine architectural settings with fashion to create captivating and visually dynamic imagery. ### Sectors Adopting This - **BEAUTY-AND-COSMETICS-INDUSTRY:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new makeup products and techniques that cater to the growing demand for unique and unconventional beauty looks. - **FASHION-INDUSTRY:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with designers and photographers to push the boundaries of traditional fashion photography by incorporating architectural elements and unconventional makeup. - **PHOTOGRAPHY-INDUSTRY:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create specialized photography services that blend architectural settings, fashion, and makeup to offer clients unique and artistic visuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-and-highlight-palettes.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Surrealist Pink Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-unreal-popup-shop.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Glassy Setting Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legendary-glow-setting-spray.md) - [Springtime Makeup Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undereye-powder.md) - [Grungy Movie-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-magic-beauty.md) - [Blurred Soft-Focus Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-touch-finish-collection.md)
