About

This macro editorial image captures a close-up of a mascara wand heavily coated in thick, heavily textured royal purple cosmetic cream. The wand rises centrally from a dark handle against a minimalist pale background. The lighting is clean and directional, emphasizing the rich impasto texture and deep color saturation of the product. Photographed by Jason Kim for the Spectra project by Special Projects, with hair by Quentin Guyen and makeup by Alexia Amzallag.
