The Cartoon Lip Makeup Artist You Need to Follow

by Sara Tan

Beauty bloggers are a dime a dozen these days, so what's a girl got to do to stand out? A London-based makeup artist figured out a way. From Aladdin's Genie to the Powerpuff Girls, Lauren Jenkinson recreates our favorite cartoon characters as lip art. It all started a little over a year ago when Jenkinson played around with a cute little crab around her mouth. Shortly after, she created a "trout pout," which then led to our favorite googly-eyed minion. Using Facebook, Instagram and her blog, Jenkinson took requests from her fans for which characters they wanted to see next. As she garnered more and more likes for her cartoon lip creations, Jenkinson became more creative and tackled some of the most iconic cartoon characters.

Her lip creations may look easy, but it's all thanks to her years of experience and passion for tricking the eye with makeup. "I'm pretty obsessed with make-up 'illusions' at the moment," Jenkinson posted on her blog. I'm not totally sure what her method for each lip art piece is, but I can only imagine the time it takes to plan out every idea and execute it. And even though it may take up a lot of her time, it doesn't seem like Jenkinson will be slowing down anytime soon. She's been posting new lip art creations every week. And I couldn't be happier about it. I can't wait to see who else she recreates from our childhood cartoons!
