Koleston's ads always merit a second look; they're so creative, and they're also award-winning. At first glance, this photo looks like an image of a very full pair of cherry red lips. The ad is for [Koleston Hair Colours](http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/koleston_hair_colours_lips?size=_original), so it makes sense that when you take a closer look, the image is actually of someone's scalp, and the part of the lips is actually the parting in the hair.

Not only is it clever, but [the ad is aesthetically appealing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grippy-serum-primer); it's the type of image you could image someone hanging on their wall.
