    Are you completely shooketh by her skills? SAME. Fans are freaking out as well. "Stunned... we’re just... stunned. Stunned is the only way to describe how... stunned we are," one commenter wrote. "This is so good it hurts my brain," another said.

    In her caption, Kelly called out how much work it took to perfect the details for such intricate lip art: "Truthfully, details are always difficult and time consuming. There’s no easy way out," she wrote. "I found a reference photo that I liked and drew it out with some adjustments so that the proportions would work for my lips (i.e. no heads/major details between my top and bottom lip, and rounding it out in places), then made the drawing into a stencil and transferred it to my lips."
