Nolwenn Quintin, Make-up Artist, Paris

Description

This extreme close-up macro image focuses on a single blue human eye surrounded completely by a dense application of reflective pink, purple, and iridescent hexagonal glitter particles. The makeup artistry, created by Nolwenn Quintin, covers the skin tightly around the eyelid, brow bone, and cheek area. The sparkling facets catch the light intensely, creating varied specular highlights across the textured surface. The composition is tightly cropped to emphasize the detailed contrast between the organic iris and the synthetic sparkle of the cosmetic application. Soft, even lighting illuminates the textures without harsh shadows.
