Violent Lips was a cosmetics company which commercialized temporary tattoo decals for the lips[1] that created designs not possible with traditional lipstick, such as rainbows, animal prints, and polka dots.[2]

History

Violent Lips was founded by talent manager Jeff Haddad and co-created by his daughters, Isabella and Sophia Haddad.[3][4] The idea for the company began when Haddad's daughters, then aged 13 and 9, applied temporary tattoos to their lips as a joke.[5] Isabella Haddad served as the company's CEO during its later operations.[6]

In 2011, Violent Lips partnered with Sugar Factory to launch candy-themed temporary lip tattoos.[7] In 2014, the brand gained significant viral attention after being featured in a video by YouTuber grav3yardgirl, which reached over eight million views.

In 2016, the company expanded its product line to include "Minis," press-on emoji tattoos that could be applied to the lips, eyes, or other face areas.[8] The products were popularized by celebrities including Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Keyshia Cole.[9]

Cessation of operations

The company's commercial activity declined significantly after 2017. The UK-based entity, Violent Lips Limited, was officially dissolved in the early 2020s.[10] By January 14, 2024, the brand's official website was defunct and remains inactive as of 2026.[11] Remaining inventory is primarily sold through third-party retail platforms and liquidation sites.
