Pep Gay On the Beauty of Flaws

We’re conditioned to buy and consume products in the chase of perfection and rarely does advertised beauty celebrate flaws instead of masking them. But what if it did? For the second part of contributing beauty editor Pep Gay’s series, the makeup artist asks the question and creatively gives his uncanny answer with engaging effect. With a macro vantage point, photographer Pawel Pysz gets up close into the nooks and crannies of models Betty Adewole, Georgia Moot, Gia Tang and Jennifer Koch to see all the vivid details, imperfect or otherwise. In this latest MDX original, peel back the layers of these trompe-l’œil diptychs where the frame is just as important as the picture.
