Christina Ricci as Edith Piaf in Kevyn Aucoin's book 'Face Forward'

The makeup look from above reminds me of the Elizabethans because of the thin eyebrows, pale skin, rouged lips and the curly frizzy hair. I like the way how the lights and shadows shown on the face and also how the black background and the black shirt makes Christina Ricci's face and the makeup more stand out and focus on the image.
