Zu schön zum Küssen: Lippenkunst von Andrea Reed

Während sich unsereins meistens mit ein wenig Lippenstift zufrieden gibt, greifen Make-up Artisten tiefer in die Trickkiste, um den perfekten Kussmund zu kreieren. Die kanadische Make-Up Artistin Andrea Reed kann allerdings nicht nur glamouröse Looks schminken, sondern die Lippen in wahrhafte Kunstwerke verwandeln. 

Das Bild die „Große Welle vor Kanagawa“ von Katsushika Hokusais hat vermutlich jeder schon mal gesehen, aber ganz sicher noch nicht als Mini-Gemälde auf hübschen Lippen. Andrea Reed hat genau das gemacht und das Ergebnis ist bemerkenswert. Doch die Make-up Artistin kann noch mehr und ihr Instagram-Profil girlgreybeauty sprudelt geradezu über vor kreativen Kunstwerken. Von Muster und Grafiken über Ornamente und filigrane Zeichnungen bis hin zu Lippen, die wie Blätter oder wie Honigwaben aussehen – die Künstlerin kann so ziemlich alles auf einen hübschen Kussmund zaubern. Sogar eine Hummel ziert ein paar Lippen, die so realistisch aufgemalt ist, dass man zweimal hinschauen muss.

Bei der Ausführung greift Andrea Reed auf eine umfangreiche Make-up-Palette sowie diverse Pinsel und Schwämmchen zurück. Make-up kann eben nicht nur eingesetzt werden, um die Augen größer zu schminken, die Wangenknochen zu betonen, einen Schmollmund zu kreieren oder endlos lange Wimpern zu zaubern.

🌊 Inspired by ‚The Great Wave off Kanagawa‘ by Katsushika Hokusai. Almost didn’t do this Lipart because I thought it would be too difficult but I’m so proud of how it turned out! Products used: @anastasiabeverlyhills ‚Paint‘ liquid lipstick. @shopvioletvoss ‚Slayed‘ liquid lipstick. @katvondbeauty ‚Trooper‘ Tattoo Liner. @sedonalace ‚White Wedding‘ gel liner. @wolfefaceartfx Essential Palette Brushes from the art store.

Stung 🐝 Wanted to re upload this with my updated watermark. Also the original has been taken so many times and cropped, edited, filtered etc, This is one of my most loved pieces and I am still very proud of it. Sometimes I look at it myself and wonder how I pulled it off! 😳 This was a recreation I did using facepaint of the Irving Penn photo ‚Bee (A)‘ and of course the later version done by Sean + Seng on @lanadelrey. My apologies for anyone with apiphobia 🙈 Products used| Bee: @wolfefaceartfx face paint. Shadows: @sauceboxcosmetics Étude Palette. Lipstick: @nyxcosmetics Butter Lipstick in ‚Snow Cap‘.

#LipArt FAQ 👇 Q. Why? A. Why not??? Q. Do you go out with these on? A. No. I just apply, take photos, and wipe it all off. Q. How do you keep your lips smooth? A. Exfoliate your lips regularly. Slather on a thick layer of lip balm (I use eye cream too sometimes). Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then take a damp facecloth and rub off the balm and any dead skin. Should be left with nice smooth lips 💋 Q. How long do liparts take?? A. Usually the application takes around an hour depending on how complex the design is. Planning the design, application, photography, and post production all together takes about 3-4 hours for 1 image. Yes, I know 😓 Someone needs to pay me to do this please. Q. What camera/lens do you use? (This is a general FAQ not just lip art but it’s probably the most common question so here you go☺️) A. Nikon D7100 with a 50mm f1.8 lens. Q. How do you come up with ideas? A. I’m constantly trying to keep my eyes open for designs that would work well with the shape of the lips. Also I love to think of colour combos that I would like to use or my favourite artists/artworks that I want to replicate or take inspo from. Q. How do you not smudge this and mess it up? A. Use products that dry completely matte. I prefer liquid to matte formulas (liquid lipsticks) because they go on smooth but once they dry, they don’t smudge. Q. Tips for lip art? A. Plan out your design before hand. Use liquid to matte products. Use tiny brushes for detail work (@smithcosmetics # 202 or brushes from the art store). Paint multiple thin layers instead of one thick layer. Try not to close your lips together until the products are completely 100% dry. Q. How can you eat or drink with this on? A. You can’t really. Before you start, have a lil‘ snack and a drink because you may not be able to for an hour but I’m sure you will survive. Q. Who would wanna kiss lips like that? A. This guy 👉 @productofdust 😉 Ask anything else you wanna know and I can answer in the comments:)
