Yep, you read that right. Ricollin has been turning heads by creating hyper-realistic portraits of South Africa's biggest stars, all with lipstick.

Recently, he set the web ablaze with his latest masterpiece: a portrait of the iconic Tyla at the Met Gala.

This isn't just a cool gimmick. This portrait shows Ricollin's incredible talent and creativity. He's taken everyday objects and transformed them into breathtaking art.
