"white on white"

 

overexpose

 

flat light

 

recover the contrast later if necessary

Lighting and exposure will certainly get you most of the way there, but makeup and PS were probably used to get this look too. Especially photoshop.

I've gotten a similar look with film using (as suggested above) flat lighting, printing with a low-contrast grade filter, burning in the areas I wanted to emphasize (e.g. eyes) with a high-contrast filter, then slightly bleaching the entire print.

 

I agree that makeup is making a significant contribution to this look: check out the frosted eyebrows.

Thank you guys! :-)

For that particular look, use a red filter (or the red channel when converting to grayscale in post processing).

The technique is outlined on fili's website. Quick answer: a lot of photoshopping.
