Halloween Lips‏

Makeup isn’t just for cosmetics – in the right hands, it can be just as valid an artistic medium as paint or ink. When Spanish makeup artist and photographer Eva Senín Pernas gets her hands on a makeup brush, she can create spooky and elegant lip makeup art perfect for almost any Halloween costume idea.

Given the season, we’ve focused on Pernas’ Halloween- or costume-related art, which will definitely inspire you to start thinking about creepy or creative Halloween costumes. But the multi-talented artist, who studied architecture before moving into photography and makeup art, creates beautiful lip makeup art all year long, so be sure to check out her website if you want to see more. Read on to see her answer Bored Panda’s questions about her lip art.

“This whole crazy thing started (believe me or not) while I was seeing the film Grease,” Pernas told Bored Panda. “I saw the final scene with that red and silver car and I decided to paint my lips with those silver lightnings.”

“I started creating lip art photos almost three years ago. I loved makeup since I was a teen when my mum gave me the book ‘Making Faces’ by Kevin Aucoin. I wanted to try all the makeups that appeared in the book.”

“I started my makeups as a personal project but now I’ve become a makeup artist and I do my designs for clients, book covers, events, makeup advertising campaigns, etc.”

“I always start applying a layer of lipbalm to protect my lips. Then I use tiny makeup brushes and wet pigments to apply the color, and I usually use gel eyeliner to draw the lines of my design.”

“Lip art usually takes me around 10-30 minutes – it is all about the complexity of the design. My full face makeups are more difficult and they can take me around 30-45 minutes.”

Artist Creates Beautiful Images With a Magnifying Glass Pyrography is the art of decorating wood (or other materials) with controlled and focused burning. While this is usually performed with a poker or an electric etcher – Filipino artist Jordan Mang-osan uses the power of the sun to produce his intricate works of art. By focusing the sun’s rays with a magnifying glass, Jordan etches historical and cultural images of his people, the Igorot.

Nature in Beautiful Embroidery

Whoever said embroidery was boring, needs to meet visual artist Meredith Woolnough from Australia. Her special technique makes use of water-soluble fabric and creates unique, breathtaking embroidery that is inspired, she says, by nature's own designs. The graceful forms, the lightness and delicacy, is one we often see in the natural world. First she traces a form into the fabric, a natural form, then she embroiders her art into the fabric and dissolvs it, the results are stunning. If you want to learn from her she gives some great tips at her blog, or you can check out her website or facebook page for more of these beautiful creations.
