“Kiss Portraits” From DNA 11 Using M.A.C. Viva Glam Lipstick

This is pretty darn cool: Custom portraits of your own lip print! If I wasn’t feeling particularly broke, I would try it out in a heartbeat and make one in the Girl Gloss blog colors.

DNA 11, a company that makes custom portraits from DNA and fingerprints, is now offering a new line of modern art pieces called KISS Portraits(TM) made with M.A.C. Viva Glam lipstick. A portion of sales will be donated to the M.A.C. AIDS Fund.To create a portrait, customers can visit DNA 11.com, which allows them to choose colors, style, size and frame. DNA 11 will then send a lip-print collection kit which includes a M.A.C. Viva GLAM lipstick and Kiss image sheets to capture a lip print. Once DNA 11 receives the lip print back from the customer, designers hand trace the image, customize color and size, print on high quality canvas, varnish, frame the order, and ship it back to the customer.

From the company’s press release:

“This was a natural extension to our existing product lines of personalized art pieces,” says Adrian Salamunovic, co-founder of DNA 11 said. “We wanted to continue creating products that involve customization but also appeal to a new audience. The KISS portrait is something sexy and cool for the modern woman, providing this demographic with the ultimate personal artistic statement.”

I love the idea of this and the way it integrates M.A.C.’s Viva Glam program. It would be a great holiday gift that adds a nice bonus with the charity aspect.
