Typically, smoky eye makeup and water don’t mix, but ‘Myriam’ by Saima Altunkaya disproves that theory in spades. This photo shoot features a made-up model soaking wet, and it’s gorgeous. The smeared eyeliner and clumped mascara make it plausible for the model to have emerged from a fight with a water hose, but there’s a vulnerability to these images that makes me wonder if the model has been crying.
