ART - Anyone use cosmetics as art materials?

Hi,





My wife died - and she had all this cosmetic stuff, and my artistic mind was thinking about using this stuff as art materials - like paint or whatever.. like the lipstick, the blush, the foundation, pencils, or whatever. I know that sounds nuts.. but I'm curious if anyone else thought of this and has done this, and what can be used and what can't be used. I don't know what to do with her things yet. It's still too painful to deal with, but I'm slowly starting to deal with it some.





open to ideas.

I had the idea of a portrait spring to mind, perhaps using lipstick would be really nice. Just the outline of a person face though.





Check Egon Schiele. He did some great portraits, in a very unique style.ART - Anyone use cosmetics as art materials?
This guy does many drawings and paintings with very unusual sutff, in this video he does a portrait of someone using mascara. Check out his profile you might get some ideas.

Everything under the sun has been used for artwork including food stuff. When you're up to it I think a portrait of your wife with her materials might be an idea worth considering?
I am so very sorry for your loss and will be praying for you.





Nail polish is used some times for art. My friend's aunt does it. I am sure lipstick and blush could posibly be used. Eye shadow would be cool and liners for the lines of the drawing/painting
It's a nice idea on using your wife's items onto making a painting. I usee to use eyeliners and lipsticks to draw random stuff, but i stopped... I think it's a great way to express your feelings (especially on what happened), and although you may think these items are... precious and you don't want to use them, I think it'd be great. :D
i did that once. it turned out good. liquid liner works good. so does other eyeliner and almost everything will work. just start experimenting. maybe you could even do a portrait of your wife to remember her and you'll be using something that will make it even more special because it was hers. I hope this helps.
