black-lined & bow-tied

Now I don't know much about photography, and this could be a big call to make, but in my opinion Francois Nars is one of the best beauty portrait photographer around, his images have a clarity and fresh glow to them, never out-dated including his various books and campaign images. The above editorial has an obvious oriental influence, but I think each look would be perfectly suited to masculine styled attire. The rich boldness of just certain facial features contrasted with the remaining stark nudity is what keeps this look strong and classic. And don't forget the nails! Keep them short but stacked with bright reds or deep wintery hues. I can't pick favourites, love each and every look above.

Alternatively the below images show what a smokey eye & filled out eyebrow can do for a collared shirt (& bow tie!), another beauty look to try for when 'i wish i was a boy'.
