Beauty without rules
Just days ago, Los Angeles was not only lit up by the flashing cameras but also by stunning beauty looks as celebrities graced the 67th Grammy Awards. It seemed that makeup artists and stylists engaged in their own competition for the most striking beauty look of the night – retro waves versus sleek geometric hairdos, classic eyeliner against extravagant makeup, bold red lips versus porcelain-pale complexions. We found ourselves at the center of this beauty battle and are ready to reveal the key players of the night.
