# Cotton Candy Lipstick John Wallace's Fashion Photography Emphasizes Sweet Sensuality By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-08-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-wallace-photography References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/untitled/285616) & [wallacefoto](http://www.wallacefoto.com/) John Wallace's photography seems to be marked by a focus on sensuality through the use of candy-colored lips and gravity-defying hair. The images in this untitled photo set certainly demonstrate both of those themes in spades. We've seen a marked return to more classic sensuality that steers away from sexualized body parts like the breasts and genitals towards the neck, collarbone and mouth. **Implications** - John Wallace photography captures an element of youth and sensuality at the same time. These lips to me almost seem hyper-real with their candy sheen. I enjoyed John Wallace' photos so much that I took the time to go through more than once; truly a rewarding experience for anyone who like photography. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Classic Sensuality:** Opportunity for beauty brands to create products that emphasize classic sensuality and focus on features like the neck, collarbone, and mouth. - **Youthful Glamour:** Opportunity for fashion and beauty industries to explore youth-focused aesthetics, incorporating candy-colored lips and gravity-defying hair. - **Hyper-real Imagery:** Opportunity for photographers and visual artists to experiment with hyper-real techniques that enhance the appearance of features, like candy-colored lips, for visually impactful images. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty:** Beauty brands can tap into the trend of classic sensuality by developing products that highlight features such as the neck, collarbone, and mouth. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can embrace the trend of youthful glamour by incorporating candy-colored lips and gravity-defying hair in their designs and campaigns. - **Photography:** Photographers and visual artists can explore the trend of hyper-real imagery by using techniques that enhance the appearance of features, like candy-colored lips, to create visually impactful images. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage Glamour Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks.md) - [French-Style Sheer Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisou-jelly.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md) - [Conditioning Glossy-Wet Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabanne-beauty-dramalips.md) - [Romantic Lipstick-Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisou-balm.md) - [Ice Pop-Inspired Lip Stains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsicle-pouts.md) - [Luxurious Lip Color Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-color-collection.md) - [Saloon-Style Beauty Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetheart-saloon.md) - [Jelly-Inspired Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshian-glasslike-lip-jelly.md)
