Bizarre Lipstick Busts

May Sum Transforms Lipstick Bullets into Famous Faces

— July 21, 2014 — Art & Design
Hong Kong-based artist May Sum turns various lipstick bullets into sculptures of famous celebrity faces in her art series titled 'Women Power.' The installation captures several influential females that have made their mark in the fashion and beauty world.

The 'Women Power' series beautifully captures the aesthetic look of popular figures like Kate Moss, Anna Wintour, Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn. Sum cleverly turns various lipstick products from high-end brands like MAC Cosmetics into sculptures of these famous women by carefully carving away at the malleable lipstick bullets. The sculptures are surprisingly realistic for their small size. For $620 Sum will sculpt you a tiny lipstick bust of a female figure you look up to.
