When asked if she’s ever concerned about getting the same exact lip print every time, Fraser said that isn’t the focus. “Creating the same kiss print every time isn’t a concern of mine,” she said. “For the most part they always look the same, but like a finger print, there is no other print like mine and that alone makes my art truly one-of-a-kind!” “When I paint and draw directly with the lipstick, the pigments blend and glide similar to working with oil pastels,” she said. “I’ve gone through a lot of trial and error testing which types of lipsticks perform the best. Matt[e] lipsticks are the most difficult as they dry quickly and don’t allow for much blending and manipulation, [while] the creamier lipsticks glide like butter!” “Surprisingly, a single tube of lipstick can last pretty long! When I paint/draw directly onto the canvas with the lipstick, it eats away at the tube pretty quickly,” she said. “However, when I apply the lipstick to my lips to repeatedly kiss the canvas, the tube will last through quite a few paintings.” Visit Fraser’s Instagram and website to see more of her outstanding work!
