About

This striking close-up beauty portrait focuses on the face of a Black woman with smooth skin and glossy lips. She wears soft pale lavender eyeshadow sweeping around both eyes, accented by distinctive, curved white false eyelashes that extend outward. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the rich textures of her skin and the high-gloss finish on her lips. Photographed in Paris by Juliette Allix, the composition is an intimate and detailed study in modern makeup artistry and portraiture.
