This bold lip tattoo look could be the next big thing as far as temporary tattoos go. Created by French makeup artist Violette and featured on her Instagram, the lips art was made for MAC Cosmetics and shot by Elle Muliarchyk.
The lip tattoo artwork consists of multiple tiny tattoo-like illustrations on a nude lip. Hearts, lips, a geometric gem, clover, rose, cupcake, skull, sad cat, dollar sign and the word 'Belle' can all be seen on one pair of lips. Rather than using permanent ink and needles, the bold artwork was likely crafted using eyeliners, lip liners and lipsticks along with fine brushes.
Violette also created a wet metallic gold and a 60s rainbow theme for MAC.
