V Magazine China Earth Tone 2026

About

An extreme close-up beauty portrait from the Earth Tone editorial for V Magazine China, photographed by Alex Black with makeup by Lauren Reynolds and manicures by Liia Zotova. The composition centers tightly on the lips and chin of model Ajok Daing, highlighting deep brown matte lipstick against rich skin texture. A single manicured fingertip extends vertically toward the lower lip, featuring a reflective metallic gold finish accented with a brush of dark pigment. Focused studio beauty lighting creates soft specular highlights across the lips and polished nail surface.
