Description

An editorial beauty close-up featuring an East Asian model photographed for Esquire China's project "A Letter Left in the Tropics" by Jialing Hu. The styling by Wei Mao and hair by Xiang Zi are paired with striking avant-garde makeup consisting of a pale matte base, diffused yellow eyeshadow over the brow bone, vibrant pink flushed cheeks, and a soft red lip. The model's dark hair is slicked flat across the forehead in a graphic, sculpted curve. Diffused high-key lighting evenly fills the frame against an uncluttered white backdrop.
