Do you find your lipstick and lip gloss shades just a little too plain? Are you prepared to try something a little more dramatic and rather unusual? Then funky temporary lip tattoos might just be the best choice for you. In a variety of fashionable patterns, the Violent Lips temporary tattoos are an instant attention grabber.
Tattoos are one of the most popular forms of self expression
through art nowadays. Temporary tattoos are generally considered a
great way to experiment with a particular style without making a
long term commitment, however, nowadays, temporary tattoos have
come to be an easy fashion statement as well. The link
between fashion and tattoos is eloquently illustrated by a new
trend that seems to be growing in popularity day by day: temporary
lip tattoos.
After the nail design industry has released minx nail designs starting a
real frenzy, a very similar concept seems to have been applied for
lips as well. The Violent Lips brand, created by music manager Jeff
Haddad and his partner Lori Magnier has made it possible for
adventurous fashionistas to wear their favorite trend on their
lips-literally. Featuring a myriad of daring patterns, the tattoos
come in three packs and are said to last four to eight hours
depending on skin type and care.
The Red Fishnet
Among the patterns available, animal prints are certainly among
the most diversified. Pink snake, leopard, cheetah or tiger
patterns are available. If you like romantic touches with a vintage
touch, designs such as roses or pink polka dots are just a few
styles you can experiment with. For those who like red tones with a
twist, the red zebra or the fishnet lip tattoo can certainly be
appealing options. Another crowd pleasing motif, the checkered
pattern is available both in multi tones and pink and white combo.
On the other hand, if you're not willing to restrict yourself from
experimenting with more hues at once, the rainbow pattern can be
your best bet. The brand is also planning to introduce glittery
patterns in red, pink, gold and silver shades.
In addition to these designs we might also be able to see ten
custom designs from the brand in collaboration with Sugar Factory.
The line is said to continue to diversify and might eventually be
found in spas and nail salons. In order to apply the temporary
tattoos you will begin by
cutting the appliques depending on the shape of your lips and
following the guidelines on the back. Then, after removing the
plastic on the back, you will stick the tattoo on the lips,
stretching the applique and pressing it. After you've finished on
both lips, bloat a little water on the back and start peeling it
off. The brand also has tutorials on their website in which the
proper technique is demonstrated. As for removal, mineral oil or
baby oil are two good choices. The appliques can be purchased for
around $15.
