As a teenager, the only makeup product I owned was a black kohl eyeliner pencil. I often went bare faced to school since even at that age, I preferred late nights to early mornings and couldn’t bring myself to get up a moment earlier than needed to rush out the door. However, on the days… Read more »
Inspired by the famous Yves Klein blue, this graphic liner is the first of several looks that stunning Kenyan model Giannina Oteto and I created in our studio session. Stay tuned for more!
