Lernert & Sander's: Natural Beauty
Cheeky directors Lernert & Sander embrace the urge for cosmetic overkill in their surreal short Natural Beauty. Makeup artist Ferry van der Nat and his assistant Vanessa Chan helped to execute the vision, slathering a host of Ellis Faas products on Belgian beauty Hannelore Knuts, who was recently named the new face of Swiss fashion house Akris.
They wanted to apply 365 layers of makeup in one day to see how much is needed to go from a natural look to an outrageous one.It took them nearly nine hours non-stop to apply all the layers to Hannelore’s face. The team used seven bottles of Foundation S103; two bottles of Creamy Eyes E107; three Milky Lips L205 pens; and two bottles of Blush S301. All together 228.40ml or nearly one cup of makeup.
This short video is truly bizarre and eye opening. I use make-up almost every day, just seeing the overwhelming amount of junk I apply on my face for a full year all at once made me feel a little ill. The lengths to which we change our natural appearance to feel normal is shocking. Yet, I will continue to do it nearly every morning.
