Girl with a lip piercing

I was assigned a fashion project at university entitled "Toxic Beauty" which was an open ended brief and was left up to the group i was in to interpret however i wish.

This photo is from the "Toxic" side of the project, which references plastic surgery and is intended to question the need for plastic surgery in modern society which has arisen through the use of photoshop in magazines.

Image 6 of 8 in an 8 image series. The artist i referenced for this image is the Dutch master painter Vermeer, specifically "Girl with a pearl earing"
