The creepy part is really only because it's a [cartoon character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peakychu) brought to life on a woman's lips. Aside from that, it's a completely cool [cosmetics concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-cheek-sticks). Conceived by deviantART user viridis-somnio, the Pikachu Animal-ipstick was created for a photo assignment at school. For her final project, she decided to focus on lips. This was a class favorite, according to Somnio.
