# Superhero Symbol Makeup The Jonathan Knowles and Celine Nonon Lipstick Art is Beautiful By Sarah Robson | Published 2012-06-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-superman-captain-america-lipstick-art References: [geekologie](http://www.geekologie.com/2012/06/batman-superman-and-captain-america-lips.php) & [jknowles](http://www.jknowles.com/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Superhero Lipstick Art:** The growing trend of superhero-inspired makeup is creating innovative opportunities for beauty brands to capitalize on fan culture and offer unique products. - **Comic Book-inspired Lip Art:** The rise of lip art designs based on popular comic book symbols presents an opportunity for makeup artists and influencers to showcase their creativity and cater to a niche market. - **Precision Lipstick Application:** The increasing demand for precise and intricate lipstick designs signifies a need for innovative applicators and tools that ensure flawless application and long-lasting results. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The beauty industry can leverage the superhero lipstick art trend by creating themed makeup collections and collaborating with popular comic book franchises to attract a dedicated fanbase. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore opportunities to collaborate with talented makeup artists to create lip art exhibitions and promote the convergence of fashion, beauty, and pop culture. - **Consumer Products and Retail:** Retailers can tap into the demand for precision lipstick application by introducing specialized lip art tools and accessories, offering customers a unique and convenient way to experiment with expressive lip designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Villainous Comic Character Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolution-beauty-x-dc-supervillains-collection.md) - [3-in-1 Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-duo-lipstick.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [Classic Superhero-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-hungry-for-heroes.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md) - [Beauty Tattoo Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-vinyl-lip-stain.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-3.md) - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [Coagulating Lip Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-of-death-lip-oils.md)
