Makeup Artist Creates Lip Look With Live Wasp

There's no denying that lip art has taken some, well, unexpected turns this year. Forget a subtle ombre or the "popsicle pout" — these out-of-the-box looks, which run the gamut from marble-inspired to a Harry Potter-themed, give the makeup trend a whole new meaning. (Not to mention another beauty fad for us to obsess over on Instagram.) What's more, there's almost no material makeup artists won't try in the name of their artistry. If you don't believe us, just go check out the crushed metallic lip one MUA created from toilet paper. Albeit, using a little TP on your lips seems like nothing compared to what we're about to tell you.

Enter the wasp lip, which involves an ACTUAL wasp. The makeup maven behind the creation is Jasmine or @butterflyjasmine49 to her followers on Instagram, where she uses her platform to show off her truly mind-blowing lip art skills. This look in particular was part of a "botanical installment" she was running and featured plant life that she found in her yard, some eerily real-looking blood, and last but not least, an actual wasp she managed to get to stay put on her pout. Needless to say, we have some questions, starting with how in the world did it not sting her?
Immediately the post amassed a wealth of comments from her followers, all who seemed equal parts impressed and alarmed — which is where we would say we're at, too. Apprehensions aside, props to Jasmine for creating such cool, one-of-a-kind lip looks, and being brave enough to go where no lip artist has gone before (at least as far as we know.) Could there be other MUAs out there experimenting with plant life and insects on their lips? It's possible. We'll be keeping an eye out, that's for sure.
