Mary Wiles, Make-up Artist, New York

Description

This close-up editorial portrait features a woman with distinct dark hair, blunt bangs, and textured grain throughout the frame. Her make-up includes striking red eyeshadow swept across the eyelids and deep red lipstick. A pair of hands gently cup her face from the side and below, adding an intimate and theatrical dynamic. The lighting is soft yet moody, highlighting her facial features against a dark, indistinct background. Make-up artistry is credited to Mary Wiles.
