CLARINS SPRING 2015… SAMIRA MAHBOUB

Samira Mahboub, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring, Clarins

The word “pastel” in reference to eye shadow takes me back to the 80’s but this dusty hued green from the Clarins Spring 2015 collection manages to be modern and very chic.  It’s best paired with intense black liner and a pale lip as shown here on the gorgeous artist/model Samira Mahboub.

Sara Cummings, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

I generally find models through their agencies, occasionally through friends or email submissions and every once in a while, on the street. Recently I’ve also been seeing some amazing faces on Instagram, including Sara Cummings. I stumbled on an image of her posted by a mutual acquaintance and was so taken with her look that… Read more »

SUMMER GLAM… Kylie Cusick

Kylie Cusick, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

This look needs a party to attend, preferably one with a disco ball and lots of dancing. Note: I first shot Kylie back in 2012 in the early days of Beauty Is Boring.  She had long hair and bleached brows, totally different from her current style.  It’s always fun to see the models evolve over… Read more »

SUMMER COLOR… Polina Protodyakonova

Polina Protodyakonova, Robin Black, Beauty Is Boring

I love the idea of mixing clashing tones and it’s especially easy to pull off when you have a subtle tan.  This warm orange eye and coral cheek contrast with the cool pink lip to create an interesting interpretation of summer color.  These shades can go very bubblegum so leaving off the mascara gives the… Read more »

SKIN… Dallas Hernandez
