About

The Modern Face for 72 Magazine is an editorial beauty series that highlights the intersection of sculptural makeup and natural skin texture. Photographed by Phil Engelhardt, the project utilizes clean, macro framing to showcase avant-garde cosmetic artistry. Each portrait leans into a minimalist aesthetic, pairing high-contrast pigments with soft, diffused studio lighting. Featuring models including Aluel Makuach, the series relies on precise art direction to emphasize tactile details, from shimmering gold pigments to graphic eyeliner. With fashion styling by Eniola Dare and collaborative makeup artistry from professionals such as Ammy Drammeh, Fara Homidi, and Isamaya Ffrench, the work maintains a sharp, vertical focus on modern beauty techniques.
