The day a luxury travel brand met an award-winning makeup artist was destined to be something creative, colourful and extraordinary.

Kuoni and Karla Powell‘s ‘Made-Up in the Maldives’ campaign is just that, with a series of unique and mesmerising beauty shots inspired by marine life in the Maldives.

The campaign reminds me of one of my much-loved coffee table books, Makeup is Art, and one quote in particular that always sticks in my mind: “Every brush stroke creates something magical”.

Karla and Kuoni’s work is a real visual treat and I can’t wait to see more collaborations between such like-minded brands and talents.
