Outside the spectrum.
Devil Makeup
A red-led character look with sharp graphic definition.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Where it sits
Outside the spectrum.
Editorial sits outside the natural-to-glam scale entirely. It serves a concept and a camera, and it is judged on whether the picture works rather than on whether the wearer looks like herself.
The technique it depends on
Controlling red pigment, which stains and travels.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Red pigment stains lips and skin; barrier the area first.
Casablanca and Rabat are humid and matte finishes hold; Marrakech and the interior are dry and the same matte finish can read flat. The look is chosen for where the day happens.
When it is the wrong choice
Anything worn afterwards without full removal.
