The Pikachu Animal-ipstick is equal parts cute and creepy. The creepy part is really only because it's a cartoon character brought to life on a woman's lips. Aside from that, it's a completely cool cosmetics concept.
Conceived by deviantART user viridis-somnio, the Pikachu Animal-ipstick was created for a photo assignment at school. For her final project, she decided to focus on lips. This was a class favorite, according to Somnio. Is it a favorite of yours?
