Dew & Metal is a beauty editorial for Tush Magazine that explores the intersection of cosmetic art and metallic, reflective textures. Captured by photographer Laura Palm, the series features model Lotte Kleihauer in a range of extreme macro compositions that emphasize skin texture, fine lines, and the play of light across experimental surfaces. The work leans into a clinical, minimalist aesthetic, using clean studio lighting to isolate intricate details from crystal-embellished wire-rim glasses to beaded, translucent garments.
The project highlights a precise approach to color and finish, utilizing vibrant teal-blue and metallic purple palettes alongside sharp, graphic beauty techniques. Makeup artists Helge Branscheidt and Loni Baur provide the artistry for the story, employing avant-garde embellishments and high-shine finishes that prioritize tactile, macro visual language throughout the editorial.
