Description

A detailed macro beauty still life from the 'Specimens' project for Issue South America, photographed by Jason Kim with makeup by Sophia Sinot. The frame centers on an upright black makeup brush heavily coated in fine, shimmering emerald green powder pigment. Two red ladybugs crawl across the bristles and the upper ferrule. Crisp studio lighting illuminates the glistening specks of cosmetic dust against a soft, pale blue background.
