I was surfing around the internet, and was so pleasantly surprised to see this beautiful photo of the henna Selena Gomez got recently! It is very adorable, with her nickname “Sel” in cursive script with a little trail of stars.
Selena Gomez's henna body art : "Sel" with stars
I would like to make one thing very clear about this photo for people who may be searching for it on the internet and thus come across this blog. This photo was taken with the henna paste still on the skin. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a raised texture to the colored-in stars. Once this paste comes off, the design will be lighter in color – anywhere from caramel to coffee brown.
The amazing thing to me is that typically paste-on henna photos are taken right after the henna is applied, usually spontaneously. Paste-off henna photos are the norm for staged shots. So I’m guessing that this photo may be impromptu? Which just amazes me… that she can look this beautiful in what must be a fairly candid shot.
Thanks, Selena, for spreading the henna love!
If you ever want fancier, more artistic henna… I will be more than happy to hook you up 🙂
