Paige Thomas understands the true art and beauty behind cosmetics and her end-of-year school photo project focused on the [lips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-serum-lip-tint). These [animal characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-intelligence) come to life on her expressive pout, featuring a surprised panda and a crawling crab.

Known under the deviantART pseudonym ‘viridis-somnio,’ these animal-ipstick creations by the [body paint artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-lab) are completely adorable. Paige Thomas claims that “the fox” has been her most successful design, but I can hardly choose a favorite from this gallery.
