The Statue of Liberty has become the Statue of LIPerty at Heathrow Airport. A 20ft sculpture of the iconic landmark – made of bright red lipstick – is standing in Terminal 5 to mark the airport’s month-long festival of lipstick.
It took a team of sculptors, engineers and makeup artists over 240 hours to complete. British micro-artist Hedley Wiggan has also carved miniature world landmarks into actual lipsticks – including Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, Big Ben, Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and Shanghai’s Tower (below).
And ladies, if you wanted to know which colour to wear in which city, the airport’s first International Lipstick Colours of the Year report reveals most en vogue lipstick shades being worn in 50 cities around the world right now.
Jonathan Coen, Retail Director at Heathrow, said: “As the UK’s hub airport, we’ve got our finger on the pulse of international beauty, with over 120 brands, 12,500 beauty products and 1,451 lipsticks under our roof. We launched the International Lipstick Colours of the Year report to reveal the lipstick looks people are wearing across the world, right now, and the trends that are driving them.
“We’re looking forward to seeing travellers’ reactions to our giant Statue of Liperty – it’s an amazing month-long addition to Heathrow.”
