but here is one artist,
that uses her lips as her canvas, all photographs by Ryan
Kelly/Instagram,
it all started like this some 4 years ago, Ryan Kelly and her husband were on the couch watching Katy Perry’s Superbowl halftime
show, when their attention was caught by one of her dancers, who later went
viral as “Left Shark”,
He
was fumbling through the choreography, but looked cool doing it, and they both
found him hilarious,
it
was the makeup artist’s husband who suggested that she paint a shark on her
lips and the fins on her fingers so she could puppet her very own Left Shark
performance, She did just that and posted a photo of her facial makeover on
social media, the response was overwhelmingly positive and inspired her to
delve deeper into lip art,
before her daughter was born, Kelly used to spend hours on
end free-hand drawing her tiny masterpieces, but she’s since had to come up
with a way to speed up the process, so she could spend more time with her
toddler. Luckily, she discovered transfer paper, which allows her to draw the
design on paper before adjusting the size to fit her lips and transferring it
on her “kisser”. She still has to paint the whole thing by hand, though, so it’s
not as easy as some people think,
“It’s
funny, I think sometimes people think using what is essentially a stencil is an
easy way out. Truthfully, it’s a much longer process from start to finish. It’s
just easier to break up throughout the day,” Ryan Kelly told Yahoo,
“I try to freehand as
much as I can, but when I became a mom, I promised myself that I would continue
to make art a priority in my life. This new process is how I’ve been
able to keep that promise.”
the makeup artist spends at least two hours on each of her
projects, and almost always relies on water-activated face paint, because
creamy lipstick just isn’t suited for drawing faces and tiny details,
OK ladies, well some gentlemen I guess as well,
if you want to try lipstick art,
here is the video to show you how it is done, have fun!
