Blonde bombshell Alek Alexeyeva poses for Nikolay Biryukov as he captures her in a 60s-inspired fashion editorial. For Elle Russia October 2013, the model sports a variety of looks ranging from natural, subtle looks to vibrant, bold ones.
Stylist Kieran Partise, makeup artist Marina Keri and hair stylist Keiichiro Hirano collaborate to perfect the 60s look. Teased hair, bright-red lips and nails, colorful eye makeup and pastel-colored tops make for a beautiful collection of styles. Keeping the makeup dramatic, yet natural makes the model look like a "beauty school drop-out" from the widely known movie 'Grease.'
The 60s look is great for fall because of all the great colors, fun hairstyles and warm knits. You can try out these style tips yourself because they’re so simple and look great. The editorial shows how beautiful the natural makeup look can be and how the right contouring can add texture and definition to your face.
