Marie Claire Mexico

Jul 2026

Marie Claire Mexico elevates the standard for contemporary beauty editorial with its latest feature, Gloss & Grace. Under the sharp editorial direction of Gerard Angulo, the magazine leans into a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes the raw texture of high-fashion cosmetics. The project, which centers on the interplay between stark graphical elements and soft, luminous skin, is anchored by a series of striking macro images captured by photographer Astor Solis. By utilizing precise beauty light, Solis brings an ethereal quality to the subject, masterfully highlighting the glossed-up, glass skin effect that defines the current cosmetic zeitgeist. The layout is equally intentional, pairing tight, impactful crops with elegant, bold serif typography that frames the imagery rather than distracting from it. This work sits at the intersection of media and high-end beauty, functioning as both an artistic showcase and a modern interpretation of editorial photography. By emphasizing the bold, graphic eyeliner against the natural, radiant skin of the model, the team creates a visual tension that feels both timeless and aggressively current. Through this carefully curated approach, Marie Claire Mexico reinforces its position as a tastemaker, proving that even within a saturated industry, a focused, technically precise vision remains the most powerful way to capture a reader's attention and maintain a compelling, authoritative creative voice.
