BEAUTY DOTS by Aaron Farrelly

Beauty spots have long been seen as an aesthetic statement whether natural or faux, their popularity spanning multiple cultures and centuries. In our latest online beauty editorial shot by photographer Aaron Farrelly and Makeup Artist Sarah Lanagan, we celebrate both historical and modern interpretations of what beauty marks have come to be - an ageless elegance, an embrace of natural freckles and also a play on their use as an establishment.
