Ben Hassett, Photographer, Paris

Description

This extreme close-up macro portrait by photographer Ben Hassett focuses on a single closed human eye adorned with highly saturated, powdered cosmetics. Vivid strokes of bright pink, royal purple, and sunny yellow eyeshadow are heavily dusted across the eyelid, brow bone, and surrounding skin in a soft, diffused color-blocked application. The delicate eyelashes are visible against the rim of the lid, catching subtle highlights. The skin texture is smooth with fine pores visible under bright, even studio lighting. The composition is tightly cropped, centering entirely on the eye and the artistic eye makeup application.
