Make it stand out
In collaboration with makeup artist Jack Fabbro who was subtly inspired by Japanese Gyaru makeup and was their own love letter/homage to the infamous subculture. A dream blend of colours, graphic eyes, decorative face gems and intricate contact lenses.
Juxtaposed alongside colourful y2k styling with pastel colours and a clash of prints, Masentle finds the concept of skin piercing and emerging through different materials to be both romantic and captivating. Elements like tights, lingerie, and mesh all harmoniously blend together to enhance and showcase the beauty of skin. It feels exciting. With the perfect combination, Mia and Koz are transformed into, to put very simply - girls who just want to have fun.
