When NYC-based makeup artist Johannah Adams recently posted pictures of her incredible crystal lip creations, Instagram went absolutely crazy! From druzy quartz to amethyst slices, the lips look just dazzling.
“I have this geode necklace that my dear friend gave me as a gift and I loved the gold and precious stone texture so much. One day it hit me that I should try to create a new lip art using that as inspiration!” – Johannah told Bored Panda.
She uses a combination of a heavy glitter, a gem color base, and a thick clear gloss. “The crystal lip makeup look is achieved by a process of mixing and layering. I start a mixture of color, the gloss, and the crystals and press and distribute it on my lips. I then take just loose glitter and press on more to finish the crystallized appearance of a makeup look.” – Johannah explained to us. Each unique artwork takes about an hour to create, but the result literally rocks!

Share on FacebookPeople can do things like this with lipstick, but I can barely touch it without getting it all over my teeth!
I know what you mean. It's like eyeliner for me - no matter what brand, I look like a drug addict by noon!
Load More Replies...In general, I might think this is pretty, but on lips, it looks like disease to me and makes me uncomfortable. I don't find it a pretty look for lips. It would look nice on a vase or something like that, though.
They're beautifully done but they do look a little crusty! Have you seen geode wedding cakes? Now there's a trend I could get on board with!

and now go and try to kiss a girl with such make-up... you'll have it all over your own mouth
The effect is beautiful, but I wish the photos weren't all closeups. I'd like to see what the overall effect is on the woman's face.
During what occasion would this be suitable to wear? And can these girls speak?!!!
Really unique art form... what a lot of time, talent & patience it must take. I don't imagine that one could eat anything after all this work either!
May not be feasible for most, but it's cool to see examples of other people's creativity.
