A new addition to London Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 has been grabbing the attention of passers-by.
To celebrate the launch of the airport’s first International Lipstick Colors of the Year report, a 20ft tall replica of the Statue of Liberty has been erected made entirely of lipstick – aptly named the ‘Statue of Liperty’.
The sculpture took a team of sculptors, engineers and make-up artists more than 240 hours to complete; it is made of the shade of red that is said to be in fashion with those from New York.
Heathrow’s report, meanwhile, delves into the lipstick trends identified from sales under its roof. With over 120 brands, 12,500 beauty products and 1,451 lipsticks, Heathrow’s said to be home to Europe’s largest beauty range in one place.
The report highlights the most popular colours in different major cities worldwide. In London the lip colour of the year was reported to be Caramel Nude; in New York it is Bright Red; in Dubai, Rose Pink; in Shanghai, Sheer Coral; and in Paris, Dusky Rose.
