Michael Bui, Make-up Artist, Paris

Description

A close-up portrait features a young Black woman with intricately styled, dark braids cascading over her left shoulder. Her skin has a subtle sheen, enhanced by visible makeup on her cheeks and eyelids. Gold hoop earrings with a linear design adorn her ears, and a small gold ring is visible in her nostril. She gazes directly at the camera with a neutral expression. The background is a plain, light grey. The lighting is soft and diffused, highlighting her features. The shot is framed within a white border, resembling a Polaroid print. Her blouse is visible, a muted olive-green color.
