Sugar-Covered Lips

‘Portraits' by Frederic Frognier Takes a Sweet Approach to Close-Up

— December 13, 2009 — Fashion
I'm a huge fan of the sugar-covered lips in 'Portraits' by Frederic Frognier. This photo set is unlike most close-ups in that the model's makeup is an edible treat. If this doesn't conjure up wintry sugarplum fantasies, I don't know what will.

Implications - Looks like these are definitely very Gaga-inspired and allow fashionable people to explore their own creativity. They give "divalicious" a literal meaning; dress up in dramatic diva wear and taste delicious at the same time!

Check out more shots from ‘Portraits’ by Frederic Frognier above, and keep clicking for more features that highlight the lips and face in a yummy, dessert-inspired manner.
