pretty pictures: progression - beauty to mess

this rocker of a beauty spread from elle france december 2010 is just beyond cool, and model daria werbowy completely rocks it.  mostly, i love how the images create a sort of progression - from natural to all dolled up to total morning-after mess.  check it out --

blank slate . . .

*hands down my favorite picture from this shoot.  she is such a natural beauty and this shot is just perfect.  kind of a shame she has to ever put on makeup*

starting to put on makeup . . .

love this styling!!  gorgeous makeup & love the soft curls

but then she adds even more makeup . . .


and dances the night away . . .

and has quite a few shots . . .

. . . and then wakes up looking like this!

 i'm pretty sure this "natural beauty to hungover hot mess" wasn't exactly the photographer's goal, but when organized this way i just think it's hilarious!
