Makeup Artist Draws Awesome Cartoon Characters Around Her Mouth

Laura Jenkinson, a makeup artist and blogger from London, has become an internet sensation in her own right. She has gained quite an online following on her Instagram account because of her special brand of artistry.

The 26-year-old artist specializes in “lip art.” This means she draws cartoon characters on her chin and then uses her own lips and teeth to achieve the right facial expression for the cute characters.

It’s really one of a kind!

On an interview, Laura shared how she got started with her fascination for this art. “I’d seen loads of other fantastic make-up artists on Instagram and I wanted to do something similar.” And so she eventually began with her project “doing about one (character) a week.”

How does she do it? Laura revealed she just finds a picture “and then just hold it up to the mirror as a guide and draw straight onto my face.”

Here are some of the lip art photos she has shared on her online account:

1. Donald Duck (Walt Disney)

2. A Minion

3. Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes)

4. Raphael (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

5. Donkey (Shrek)

6. Sid (Ice Age)

7. Sponge Bob Squarepants

8. Patrick Starfish (Sponge Bob Squarepants)

9. Courage the Cowardly Dog

10. A random cat

11. Kermit the Frog (Muppets)

13. Simba (Lion King)

14. Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)

15. Chuckie Finster (Rugrats)

16. Ned Flanders (The Simpsons)

17. Fred Flintstone (Flintstones)

Laura’s lip art definitely proved to be a huge hit online.

As of this writing, she already has about 274,000 followers on Instagram and each of her lip art pictures average around 1,500 likes and 300 comments. Users are clearly impressed with her unusual talent to give life to beloved cartoon characters – using her drawing skills and her mouth.
