Andrea Reed is a makeup artist, photographer, and model from Victoria, BC, Canada, who goes by the name girlgreybeauty on Instagram. With over 900 posts on the account, this has brought her nearly 300,000 followers with some of her photos racking upwards of 80,000 likes.
Besides this, she also does pet portrait commissions and other kinds of art on her other account. The account is mostly populated with adorable cats and dogs, but she showcases other spectacular forms of art, whether it’s paintings or crafts.
I'd like to see this one with the full face. It's hard to see the illusion close up
That is so cool! She did a good job on the sort of pixelated ombre, it totally looks like her lips are pixelating apart...
I think it's supposed to be, if you look closely you can see the faces on the flowers.

“I have always loved to do art and have a love for makeup as well and wanted to combine the two together,” elaborated Reed.
“With the lips being a smaller and more challenging canvas, I wanted to give it a try! And people seemed to really love the lip art, so I stuck with it. I also was very inspired by the artists @missjazminad and @depechegurl on Instagram. They were some of the first lip artists back when I started in 2014.”
If I did this and got high , I would freak out and smack myself in the face every time I caught a glimpse of it
Would not want to wear this ... I’d be too afraid of someone slapping me in the mouth! 🐝‼️😂
No worries. She wouldn't let you mess those lips up for nothing!

“For the past 2 years, I have not been doing much makeup art, but lately I have been focusing more on traditional art and mediums over at @andreareedart. I absolutely adore animals, so I have been enjoying painting animal portraits.”
I LOVE CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺❤️😺😺😺😺😺
A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spell caster called DR Owo that he is 100% capable to bring ex back lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted the great spell caster on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 2 days my husband called me for the very first time after 12 months he left me and the kids that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it highly unbelievable. Thank you DR Owo for bringing back my lover and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spell caster here is the email address:drowoherbs@gmail.com
“I usually plan my designs out by drawing them on paper first. Then I get my supplies and equipment ready. Camera, lights, etc. are set up,” Reed explained how she does lip art.
“The application usually takes about one hour, photography can take anywhere between 15 minutes to 1 hour. And then retouching the photo and post production can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours, depending on the condition of my skin at the time. Altogether, one lip art photo will usually take 3–6 hours.”
Very good. Love all of these so far. Great works of art. I think some could take off, as they can be applied easily. Like Batman.
Given the relatively small area of the lips, you bet it’s not that easy to use it as a canvas. It’s something Reed points out as being one of the biggest challenges in the art, among other things:
“The lips are a very small area to work and not a perfectly smooth canvas. Another challenge is that while I do lip art, I try not to close my lips together at all, smile, laugh, talk or anything!”
Wow I have trouble drawing a straight line on a sheet of paper, let alone a curved surface! Incredibly well done!
Since Reed has dozens upon dozens of lip art designs, we’ve asked her to show us some of her favorites, like Stung, Defragmentation, Honeycomb, Makeup Is Art, Alice in Wonderland, Clouds, and The Kiss. You can find all of these included in the list.
And if you want to find more of her work, be sure to visit both of her Instagrams here and here. We’ve also covered another list to celebrate Reed’s lip art here, and if you’ve enjoyed this, why not check out this bit of face art by artist Dain Yoon, who creates illusions by using her face as a canvas.
