FROM PARIS WITH LOVE AND DAMIAN GARROZO

SNOW QUEEN


Autumns leaves have finally fallen (annoyingly, all over my terrace..) and as the air turns icier with the day, so do our editorials.
This month’s Vogue China features aptly titled editorial “Snow Queen”, and although it’s not the first time I’ve laid eyes on the series this week, I still get goosebumps.
It’s images like these that prove how powerful hair & makeup can be when it transforms usually classic beauty (
Du Juan) into an avant-garde, icy bitch!
Makeup artist 
Osvaldo Salvatierra paints Juan in a eerie veil of silver metallics, which when paired with a bleached brow (drool) makes Juan’s features pop in a beautifully abnormal way.
The unusual play of light created by Aussie photographer Lachlan Bailey gives the series a very ethereal feel.

It’s a little McQueen, a little futuristic, and extremely unwearable – everything I love in a beauty story!
Love, love, love it... looks like I’ll need to stock up on MAC silver pigment for winter..
