Leona Naomi Wong and a Single Black, Split by Shine, in "Shade of Spades"
What stays on the face is not a color but a finish. The credits are where the material stops confirming.
Black is usually put to work erasing contour. In "Shade of Spades" it works the other way. The black laid over Leona Naomi Wong's face is recorded as high-shine, throwing light back rather than absorbing it.
Alena Saz photographed the story, released as an exclusive by The Untitled Magazine. Makeup is by Suna Myles, hair by Ryan Taniguchi. The material is dated October 31, 2025, and lists New York as its location.
The word the material uses for the work is gothic beauty editorial. It states that the story deals in dark glamour. Rather than widening into several colors, the construction reads as one black split across texture and finish.
Photographer, model, makeup, and hair are all named here. The four positions behind a single story are set down as they stood. Worth noting separately: the beauty credit is not bundled into one line but split between makeup and hair.
The material carries the date October 31. Whether the gothic register and that date were tied to each other is not stated. What is confirmed reaches as far as the release date being written that way.
The shooting date, the location, the brands Wong wears, and the products Myles used are not in this material. Neither is the number of frames. Those are left blank rather than filled in by guesswork.

/ 3. Why we're noting it
What SeoulEdits follows is mostly not editorial imagery but actual use. Even so, a story whose credits survive intact is worth keeping. It fixes a coordinate: four names bracketed together on one page in October 2025. Where those names surface next, on which campaign and which face, can be checked against this later. If the wardrobe brands and products are confirmed, that part can be picked up on its own.
