Description

Photographed by Mario Kroes for Vogue Portugal's Animal Instinct project, this beauty editorial image captures an extreme close-up of an East Asian woman with eyes gently closed. She features smooth, matte porcelain skin, sculpted dark metallic lips, and minimal eye makeup, illuminated by soft studio lighting. Directly below her chin, a luminous white betta fish swims horizontally across the solid black void. Hair styling is credited to Darine Sengseevong, makeup by Zaheer Sukhnandan, and casting by Christian Meshesha.
