Natalie Irish is a very creative artist. She doesn’t use her hands to create mind-blowing masterpieces. Natalie is endowed with an unusual talent. She conquered the whole world with her works because this cute young artist paints only with her LIPS . Some media outlets decided to call her “Lipstick Artist” . By such method she created portraits of famous artists as: Kate Middleton, Marilyn Monroe etc. and a self-portrait. I adore her works. I'm always glad when I see such original ideas. I wish her all the best and a lot of lipsticks))) To make fetching pieces of art, Natalie also uses her thumbprints .
