PARTICULES ÉLÉMENTAIRES

I don't really use make-up, not because I don't like it - props to girls who use it well without looking like an idiot - but because I just dont' know how. If you'd make me, I'd probably end up like this. Ok maybe not this bad. This is from an editorial (Paris Vogue june '10), model is Iselin Steiro, Photographed by Tyen, styled by Emmanuelle Alt, Make up by Tyen & Kim. Thanks to Diorette for the VERY high quality scans.

EDIT May 27th//
So I was rummaging through my archives today because I was putting together an album with all the photographers I've featured on here for the Yes Please Mademoiselle Facebook page, and doing a little more research on Irving Penn's pictures, I suddenly came across this picture. Guess I found where the idea came from... And yes, I am disappointed to know that the idea of Paris Vogue wasn't originally theirs but just a picture from Irving Penn from 1969, actually an advertisement he made for L'Oréal. What say you?

NEED TO READ

I stocked up on some magazines today! After seeing what I had chosen, the guy in the shop said: "You do know that is a Russian magazine, right?". Of course I do. I wonder if there are ever people in his shop that buy the magazine and actually SPEAK Russian! (It's a realllly small shop in my hometown, which actually -as I discovered only a few weeks ago- is the town where Ann Demeulemeester was born. She moved away, can't blame her.)
