i must say that i dissagree. This is a high fashion shoot. It is not about if the girl needs makeup or not. Make up in a fashion shoot is often used not to "elevate the look" but to create a new character. Transforming someone into a new someone (often exaggerated).

This is where fashion is different to portraiture. Fashion doesn't care about who is in the picture. It is about the style and the overall look and the clothings.

If you look at Editorial works at magazine like vogue, you will understand where i am coming from.
