Bloom

Created for a spring beauty concept, BLOOM highlights the artistry of makeup artist Samara Elster, featuring bold color palettes, clean lines, and soft seasonal tones. Shot in studio with a focus on symmetry and contrast, the series pairs two models in mirrored poses to showcase variations in texture, hue, and expression.

The look is fresh, minimal, and luminous — pastel lids, glossy skin, and blooming shades that echo the first colors of spring. I photographed and retouched the series to keep the lighting crisp and the makeup immaculate, letting Samara’s work take center stage.
