Optical Illusion Lip Art

Sandra Holmbom Creates a Very Eerie Lip Makeup Art Piece

Cosmetic enthusiast Sandra Holmbom creates an incredibly creepy optical illusion with lip makeup, which mimics the look of an eye.

If you were just looking at the artwork itself, you would be guessing whether it was a very eery contact lens or whether it was actually lips with clever makeup applied on it. Once you look at the full face images you can quickly figure out that it is in fact a very creative piece of work. When the lips are closed, it looks like a beautifully painted eye but when the mouth is even slightly open, it reveals her teeth, which gives it a creepy effect of looking as if the eye has a nice set of chompers.

This visually stunning lip makeup by Sandra Holmbom looks as if it is best suited for a horror movie then anywhere else.
