Today, let us take a break from writing and indulge in a visual feast. In honor of No Make-up Week, I was going to dedicate this post to different types of gorgeous make up artistry out there, but instead I’m giving it all it to Eric Lafforgue. Eric is living one of my dream lives as a full-time photo journalist and his work has been making me swoon ever since I joined Flickr a few years back. In his travels, he’s captured incredible amounts of make up and face paint, a small fraction of which I present to you now. The man is brilliant. Brace yourselves.
Words sort of shrivel up and float away. No need for them, anyhow.
I also admire this photographer, since stumbling upon his photos some time ago. Beautiful. Astounding. I often ask how we can be hateful people with such beauty in the world!
I am Scots/German by blood and was raised Native American (Ojibway), and I find a lot of my makeup ideas have been heavily influenced by traditional clan and tribal paints. Even before studying them! It’s deeply ingrained, our need to change and blend or stand out.
this guy’s photos are fucking amazing.
I can’t think of a better post for No Make-up Week. Thanks for offering up a visual feast, and stretching my brain. Can’t wait to test out some these eye-make-up ideas.
Listening to Mercy Street by Fever Ray makes this post even more incredible.
Amazing images, thanks so much for sharing xoxo
Wow!!! Thank you SO much for the share. I am thoroughly inspired.
A nice switch up to No Makeup Week. Lovely. Thank you for sharing!

I wanted to share some of this mans work on my tumblr but I can’t seem to get a link or save any of the images?
