FMP

In the two weeks Easter holidays I haven't been working much on my FMP as I have been focusing on my self promo,  but the first day back in the studio I decided to work on my FMP. Based on my research of artist Phillip. T who has done a series of photographs on extreme plastic surgrey, from this the idea of plumped lips spurred in my mind. It is now becoming a trend to plump lips so they are enlarged, ofcourse this can be done using botox or plastic surgrey however currently women are finding other temporary ways to plump their lips; using bottle lids. Using this method means you get enlarged lips in the matter of  some minutes and no permanent or expensive treatment is required (however it only lasts about 4hours). I tried to plump my own lips as ab experiment, I wanted to photograph and see what the difference is. Although I am completely against plumping lips because I think natural lips look much more beautiful than fake puffed up lips which look sore. Anyway my experience was awful, it was really painful to plump my lips, as I was sucking my lips into the bottle lid it really hurt my top lip. I continued to do it till I was satisfied with the difference and then photographed myself with rather enlarged lips, I wanted to paint this as one of my pieces for the final result however I may use a digital version of a model as my project is based around the manipulation of models and how they are altered.
