Beate Sonnenberg, Photographer, London

Description

This macro photograph by Beate Sonnenberg features three horizontal bars of cosmetic powder swatches set against a solid blue background. The top swatch is a deep, textured dark purple cream or eyeshadow with visible ridges and uneven edges. The middle swatch consists of fragmented, vertical streaks of a metallic or shimmery periwinkle and blue shade. The bottom swatch is a wide, rectangular block of finely milled, powdery white or pale lavender eyeshadow with a dry, matte texture. The lighting is direct and even, casting subtle shadows beneath the textured edges and emphasizing the tactile quality of the cosmetics.
