I am minorly obsessed with model Ginta Lapina. Her striking face first caught my attention in YSL’s spring 2011 campaign.
She was featured again for their YSL Gloss Volupte launch.
So when I saw her name connected with the NARS spring 2012 promo image, I did a doubletake. That’s… Ginta?
Here’s what she’s wearing:
- Santa Fe Sheer Glow Foundation
- Eden Loose Powder
- Zen blush, in the hollow of the cheek and blended up toward the temple for contour
- Gaiety blush, on the apples of the cheeks
- Pro Prime Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base
- Lhasa eyeshadow on the lids, blended up into the upper inner corner of the eye
- Albatross blush on the browbone
- Dark Rite Soft Touch Shadow Pencil on the upper lash line
- Rue Saint Honore Larger Than Life Eyeliner on the upper lash line, winged in the outer corner, and smudged on the lower lash line
- Blondie eyeshadow on the brows
- Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara
- Amazon lipliner
- Valparaiso Pure Matte Lipstick
- Misbehave lipgloss
- Ecume nail polish
Here’s what I take away from this: the camera (and makeup) can create almost anything. Also, good lord, models are young. And their photos make them look so much older.
Ginta was born June 30, 1989. She started working in 2005, and has done just about everything: runways (everyone you can think of), advertising, editorial.
Just for fun, please enjoy some more pictures of this chameleon elf child (photos compiled through excessive Googling):
Ginta is dreamy. So cute. I think she’s from Latvia!
I loveee the YSL promo! The makeup is stunning. And it’s crazy how different makeup/clothes/hair can make a person look!
She is very beautiful and so is her model/colleague in one of the center pictures. But I’d like to feed them, poor things…
Wow she is gorgeous, and so versatile! What’s funny is that I liked her in a lot of those ads individually, little realising that they were the same person! I am so bad with faces…
I really enjoyed looking at those photos. She is very pretty & very young! Also, I like that she has the same skin tone & eye color as mine.
I could use her photos as a guide on colors of makeup I can wear for me.
Does anyone know the specific details of Jill Stewart makeup and the other photo afterwards where she has grey eye makeup and red lipstick?
yes, shes from Latvia
Im so proud of this girl . Thank you for sharing this , somehow i didnt recognise her when i saw these pictures for first time . True chameleon 
Wow, didn’t know she was a Latvian until I saw the name.
*is proud for no reason*
She reminds me of… Andrej Pejic!
But prettier.
Major girl crush, she is gorgeous! Love her in the YSL promos.
