Jun 2025

Elle Arabia presents the Soft Focus Chanel Beauty Special, a recurring editorial feature focused on refined cosmetic applications and intimate portraiture. Photographed by Amer Mohamad, the series leans into clean compositions to highlight the interplay between skin texture and product application. The editorial captures a variety of moods through precise makeup by Julia Rada and fashion styling by Polina Shabelnikova. The visuals alternate between high-contrast macro beauty shots and relaxed, soft-focus lifestyle portraits, utilizing soft light to maintain a consistent aesthetic throughout the spread. Techniques such as playful layering and clean framing define the visual rhythm of the pages. The work emphasizes a balanced color palette, juxtaposing warm skin tones and metallic accents against neutral, plush textiles.
