'Sickly Sweet' from Lucy Turner is candy coated goodness. The artist has taken some amazing shots with [sugary sweet confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-dates). The models look like they were drawn into the images that depict colors popping everywhere and the [candy literally coating them](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-crush1).

I love the [candy eye makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat), which definitely makes for an interesting and dynamic 3D effect on the model's face. Sickly Sweet from Lucy Turner may give you a cavity, but it will do so in the best possible way.
