THE GENESIS ISSUE
"Every story has a beginning, yet true origins are rareIy
linear. In The Genesis Issue, we navigate the unseen
spaces where ideas form, identities awaken, and visions
are shaped by instinct as much as by intention. Across
these pages, diverse narratives unfold, each capturing a
moment where something begins, shifts, or comes undone."
"Conceived through a female lens, The Genesis Issue is
a tribute to the visionary power of women. Each story re-
flects a distinct, empowering aesthetic - a perspective
shaped by intuition, resilience, and creativity. In celebration
of the approaching summer, we explore themes of
renewal, light, and transformation, capturing a season
where the feminine spirit rises with boldness and grace."

THE GENESIS ISSUE: ORIGINS OF VISIONS
delve into the evocative world of Origins of Visions—a visual exploration of how inner self-reinvention and intuitive embodiment take form. Guided by the compelling presence of Marilou Bélanger and transformed by the visionary makeup artistry of Yong- Chin Breslin, here, makeup becomes more than adornment; it is an archetypal script written on the skin—echoing myth, memory, and future imaginings. These portraits trace the shifting terrain between self and shadow, inviting us to witness the silent genesis of becoming. Marilou Bélanger by Emily Georg.

BEAUTY AND POWER
Marilou Bélanger isn’t just a face — she’s a mood, a movement, and a testament to the audacious spirit of modern beauty. As a Canadian model and singer from Montreal, she’s seamlessly evolved into a powerful influencer, merging fashion, beauty, and authenticity in everything she does.
Her work is a masterclass in versatility — she shifts from sleek, sculptural editorials to raw, intimate close-ups that crack open vulnerability and let authenticity spill out. With every campaign and every post, she’s rewriting the rules: beauty isn’t static; it’s alive, unapologetic, and deeply personal.
Marilou’s presence finds its ultimate match in Issamaya French Beauty. Her skin beams with the liquid glow of the Skinlacq Triple Hyaluronic Glow Serum, turning every frame into a story of radiant intensity. Her lips, slicked and full with Liplacq Triple Hyaluronic Lip Plumper, speak in a language of rebellion and allure. Bold, sculptural liner shapes trace the edges of her gaze, capturing the cinematic drama of the moment.
In Marilou’s world, beauty isn’t just an accessory — it’s an act of self-possession and defiance. Every product, every detail in these visuals becomes a tool for empowerment, sculpting her into an icon of the here and now. Issamaya’s signature aesthetic — fierce, artistic, and wildly chic — perfectly complements Marilou’s ability to turn every shot into a visual manifesto of modern femininity.
