With faces that go to extremes, (Makeup/Hair) Kamo Katsuya uses skin as a palate of power. From clean and pure to outta this world each image brings the beauty of both sides. A picture of perfection, pretty plays itself out, with no-brows & dark brown shadow. The eyes hold all the secrets with a giant black star and crystallized tears.
