By now, makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench's penis-shaped lipstick must be the talk of the town. The product, surprising as it may be in its inspiration, brings together elegance, futurism, and provocativeness. The penis-shaped lipstick is simply called LIPS—to add to the daringness of the aesthetic—and it is actually a duo of lipsticks encased in a metal penis. The tube is made out of zamak, a form of zinc alloy.
In a way, Isamaya Ffrench also calls attention to the "cheeky take on the sexual innuendos that beauty brands have employed for decades" but obviously turns the heat up a little. According to the beauty specialist, the idea for a penis-shaped lipstick came in a dream. Now, the product is featured in various, jaw-dropping campaigns.
