Mariano Vivanco's latest editorial for Vogue Hommes Japan is a reminder of the events of months to come: surfing, beach lounging, and sunbathing. 

Shot on the sandy beaches of Miami, Vivanco took inspiration from the colorful spirit and architecture of the city itself.  The pastel hued lighting creates a beautiful sense of balance to the neon colored garments.

This year they awarded our very own Charlotte Willer for her outside-the-box approach to makeup artistry and her daring use of color.

Willer, a member of Maybelline's product development team since 2008, also gave ELLE a look into her own makeup kit, sharing the products she can't do without!

Simon Procter will be exhibiting a series of angelic Renaissance-inspired photomontages at Art Paris this month.  Procter studied fine art for many years, including sculpture work and painting, which is clearly evident in this series.
