The 'She Has Waited Too Long' series by Pauline Darley is a breathtaking photography collection that showcases some exquisitely artistic -- and equally alarming -- makeup styles. Shot by French photographer Darley, these photographs show model Clementine Levy's stunning face and body saturated completely in skeleton-inspired makeup.
These off-putting images are equally captivating, as they combine the living beauty of the model and a symbol of death, the skeleton. This gorgeous compilation of photographs is sure to offer inventive and glamorous ideas for Halloween and dress up parties.
With makeup done by MademoiselleMu, hair by Sophie Haise and styling by Valeriane Dousse and Clementine Levy respectively, the She Has Waited Too Long series by Pauline Darley is a frighteningly fabulous editorial that will not be easily forgotten.
