 <\/p>\n

From Lady Gaga to delicate rose bushes, it seems there’s little that artist May Sum can’t turn into a sculpture.<\/p>\n

But these are not your average sculpture. Instead of stone or bronze, Sum creates her incredibly intricate pieces using lipstick.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for those who fancy owning a lipstick sculpture of their own, would-be buyers will need deep pockets, as each piece costs an eye-watering \u00a3529.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Hong Kong artist says that her pieces can be used for their original purpose, although they might not look the same afterwards.<\/p>\n

The lipsticks, which have now gone on sale at luxury launches website, VeryFirstTo.com, are available in a choice of themes and can also be customised with portraits of the customer’s choice.<\/p>\n

Sum, who began her career as a make-up artist, takes between 12 and 13 hours to create a floral sculpture but says the more detailed portraits can take up to a week.<\/p>\n

While for now Sum says she’s concentrating on lipstick art, she says she won’t rule out working with different types of cosmetic in future.<\/p>\n
