'Sparkle' by Natalia Madejska was a collaboration of the Austrian-born fashion photographer and makeup artist Manuela Holzl. Madejska and Holzl teamed up in order to capture an elegant, minimalist beauty story.
While most of the model's body is matted -- almost to an unnatural point -- her lips, hands and eyes are saturated in shimmering gold sparkle flecks. In the black and white photographs, it is more difficult to see the illuminating add-ons, adding a hint of subtlety. In the two colored photographs, one is able to see the extent of the sparkles spread on the model's exterior.
This editorial, done exclusively for Design Scene, is a simplistically beautiful collection.
