Description

Model Awa Diallo poses in a beauty editorial portrait illuminated with dramatic low-key studio lighting against a dark neutral gradient backdrop. She wears an elaborate, high-volume sculpted retro black updo with curled volume and short fringe, styled by Ilham Mestour. Her makeup, crafted by Naima Bremer, features radiant skin, soft yellow eyeshadow on the lids, and polished glossy lips. The composition focuses on her facial profile and bare shoulders, creating a striking contrast of dark tones and warm highlights.
