Past Skin
Photography by Romeo Pokomasse
& Ivania Carpio
Like any blank page, an empty canvas is a tease—inviting, inspiring, invoking interaction—but when it comes to your face sometimes a shock of colour is all the decoration you need. Who better to demonstrate this than Ivania Carpio, whose pristine white and clean, monochromatic palettes form the perfect backdrop to a splash of fire-engine red, chaste blush pink, or soft, sensual plum. Photographed here in her natural element—a background of whitewashed walls, along with a few touches of the everyday, given a second glance—Carpio wears a series of shades from NARS’ Powermatte Lip Pigment collection.
Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation in Finland, Radiant Creamy Concealer in Honey, Soft Velvet Loose Powder in Eden, NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Just What I Needed.
NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment in Light my Fire.
