James Weber and The Kanji Cosmetics Project

Photographer James Weber recently chronicled his daunting task to create the seven kanji signs (Love, Life, Harmony, Dream, Happiness, Flower, and Strength) — using only cosmetics. With the help of makeup artist Moani Lee and graphic artist David H., the three came up with some incredible works of art using MAC makeup for Hea7en magazine. Each creation was laid out next to a graphic image of the symbol, so whatever you see on the right are not digital creations (shocking, I know!). But Weber tells us how each was made on his blog. The results are gorgeous…Check it out below:
