Superhero eyeshadow designs may be quickly increasing in popularity, but now Jonathan Knowles and Celine Nonon have created sultry [Batman, Superman and Captain America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superman-collection) lipstick art. This trio of amazing [lip art photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-vinyl-lip-stain) was designed after popular character symbols from classic comic books.

Makeup artist Nonon must have a steady hand to recreate identical symbols on the lips, making the pouts look like [glossy lip candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsicle-pouts). Get your boyfriend to kiss you while wearing the Batman design, and he will immediately be brought back to his comic-reading childhood. Lipstick is difficult to apply when you use one color, so it is remarkable that Nonon is able to design exact replicas to the symbols without them smudging.
