“Frustrated by observing the lack of diversity in the industry and the dangerous message that one ideal fits all I felt there was a real need to voice a different approach. So when on a last train home from Paris whilst chatting with Valerie, we found common ground in our observations – the idea for Beauty Papers was born” says Maxine Leonard, co-founder of Beauty Papers.
Beauty Papers, a new beauty magazine, launches Issue 0, the “Foundation Issue”, previewed exclusively here on Models.com. The brainchild of Maxine Leonard and Valerie Wickes, it features pages packed with bold beauty and essays aiming to liberate the stale state of affairs.
The punchy stories are teamed by the skin-obsessed, expert in conjuring new modes of makeup. Paola Kudacki, Benjamin Puckey and Kevin Ryan keep the skin palette crisp and simple on Sarah Brannon: water and glossy patina. Bruno Staub, Maxine Leonard and Romina Manenti use shadow and brown-hued contouring to a painterly effect. Ben Hassett’s images of muse Guinevere Van Seenus go the way of pure drama–plastics, feathers, and deep color by makeup artist Kanako Takase and hairstylist Recine. Check out the preview below and make sure to get your copy of the magazine to see more.
