Ashley Olsen: THE MAKEUP

“The inspiration for these photos were the classic Avedon portraits of celebrities and models from the sixties,” said Polito. “They have a great simplicity and purity about them. I wanted to create a beautiful image—and keep the focus of the look really on Ashley’s eyes.” He swept a sand-hued shadow along her lids and topped it with black liner along the top and bottom lashlines. To soften the lines, he brushed on a chocolate brown shadow and finished with a few coats of rich, black mascara. “These pictures capture the essence of Ashley—she looks beautiful and timeless,” he said.
