Dusk Till Dawn

There’s a particular light that exists just before evening fully settles — warm but fading, sharp yet forgiving. Dusk Till Dawn lives in that space.

Photographed by Laurent Castellani, the story focuses on contrast rather than excess. Skin is kept sheer and almost bare, allowing light to do the sculpting. The eye, however, carries the weight — a wash of deep crimson and burnished rose pressed close to the lash line and diffused outward, deliberately imperfect.

Makeup artist Laetitia Ollivaud keeps the complexion translucent, resisting heavy contour or overt structure. Instead, the look relies on placement and restraint: gloss layered over pigment, shadow softened at the edges, highlight catching only where the light naturally falls. It’s less about drama, more about mood.

On Vika Shoom, the effect feels modern rather than romantic. Strong brows, muted lips, colour concentrated where it matters. There’s something quietly confident in the simplicity.

This is evening beauty without theatrics — considered, controlled, and undeniably current.
