20 Stunning Examples of Eye Make-Up Macro Photography

posted on 7th July 2010 by Gemma Shaw with the tags: "Eyes", "Macro", "Make-Up", "Photography" .

Eyes are possibly one of the most beautiful things you can photograph, especially for make-up photography. The colours and patterns that form in the iris are incredible and are often overlooked with the human eye.

This showcase of eye make-up macro photography features a selection of superb shots, all of which use make-up to bring out the best of the photos, making them more unique and visually appealing, serving as a great source of inspiration.

Nice collection

@Victor: A lot of them are edited, like some colours etc, but they aren’t manipulated. All the crazy eyelashes, feathers etc are all done by make-up artists!
