Laurie Raab, Prop Stylist, Los Angeles

Description

An overhead flat lay photograph depicts a detailed map of the United States, including Alaska, meticulously assembled from crushed cosmetic powders in various skin tone shades ranging from fair to deep espresso. The individual state shapes are outlined by distinct textural variations and pigment blocks of compressed eye shadow or foundation. The entire makeup sculpture is presented against a clean, solid white background with even, diffuse lighting highlighting the crumbly texture of the pressed powders. Prop styling by Laurie Raab showcases an intricate and conceptual use of beauty products.
