While I understand the artistry of it all, I’m going to file this look under "Things I hope to not see in real life." These looks, shot by Richard Burbridge for 10 Magazine, are wildly smeared and a little clown-esque.
While your makeup may not be quite as flawless as it once was after a night of dancing, let’s hope it never reaches this point. The smeared look is finding its way into quite a few editorials, and is certainly a bold colored collection of images. But just so we’re clear, if I see you walking down the street with makeup like this from 10 Magazine, I will stare at you.
