Tieto ženy ho vidia ako spôsob pre umelecké vyjadrenie svojich emócií, myšlienok a na ukážku toho, čo všetko je možné s trochou fantázie a poriadne šikovnými rukami. Medzi takéto ženy patrí aj 31 ročná Mimi Choi z Kanady, ktorá posúva prácu s mejkapom na úplne inú úroveň. Za použitia klasických štetcov či ceruziek vytvára na svojej tvári super realistické optické ilúzie, ktoré sú spravené s takou precíznosťou a zmyslom pre detail, až sa nám niekedy nechce veriť, že je niečo také vôbec možné vytvoriť. Práca s perspektívnou, tieňovanie a voľba tých správnych odtieňov – to sú zručnosti, v ktorých Choi iba ťažko nájde konkurenciu. O tom vás zaručene presvedčia nasledujúce fotografie z jej Instagramu, ktoré vám dokážu, že pri opise jej umenia sme superlatívmi neplytvali zbytočne.

She's a bitch. 🐕 • This is #makeup • Dog #muzzle makeup using @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and Supracolors. Inspired by the photoshopped images by surreal artist Sabastian Niedlich. Just a normal dog with human eyes, hair, body and 0 top teeth. 😛 Thought this was funny, not meant to be realistic. 🙃 Had to paint something on myself after a long week of working on others, even though it's 2AM and my body is telling me to lie my ass down and sleep. 🐶 #dothingsforyourself

This is #makeup • OCTOPUS LIP ART 🐙 hand-painted using @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and Supracolors. Shaded using Kryolan matte eyeshadows. This is inspired by and dedicated to my fiancé @andrewy527 who has been asking me to do #octopus for the longest time! He's the person behind a lot of my strange creations and inspires me more than anybody in this world. Thank you for pulling me out of my black pit over and over again and always believing in me. ❤️

SPLIT • This is #makeup • When I was little, my mama used to tell me that if I kept pinching my cheeks this way, my face would eventually split in half. I never listened to her. 🙄 • A little SPLIT FACE makeup #illusion done using @mehronmakeup Paradise face & body makeup in white + black, and @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca HD foundation palette.

I honestly do not know how to describe this look that I did a while back on my BB K @lahbra lol. 👹 I used @patmcgrathreal #METALMORPHOSIS005 Everything Kit for the "cutouts", #LUST004 Kit for the lips and MAKE UP FOR EVER @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca kohl liners and ink liner for painting the extra eyes. Inspired by cardboard cutouts and digitally-manipulated photographs.

Another #camouflage makeup illusion done on my bff @dada.rai for @instagram's weekend hashtag project #WHPdisguise 🌺🌱 It was totally worth skipping lunch for! Thank you @dada.rai for always being a trooper and letting me paint on your hair again. 😂 • Done with @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and @suvabeauty Hydra liners

DETAILS • All #makeup, no Photoshop • "Inception" makeup illusion inspired by a photoshopped image of Paul Ryan. Used @nyxcosmetics @nyxcosmetics_canada pencil and liquid eyeliners plus matte eyeshadows for this look. Lashes are all @houseoflashes "Knockout" falsies except for the littlest ones that I had to paint on. Took 3 hours. ________________ How I do my 5-minute #browblock (works for thinner brows): Dab @Duoadhesive or Prosaide on brows and press them with a spatula until your brow hairs are flattened. Wait till it's dry completely then apply colour corrective concealer on with a @beautyblender, pressing it hard into the hairs. Powder, press, and repeat concealer if needed until you achieve the coverage you want! ✨👀 __________________________________________________ Winner of #MIMLESORIGINALS makeup contest will be announced in the next post! 😍🤗💖

SWIRL 🌪🌪🌪 This is makeup • I'm back! Sorry for the lack of #makeup updates as I'm still pretty sick and I've been confined to my bed for almost 2 weeks now. But today I finally woke up with an appetite of a sumo wrestler and have enough energy to do a little #opticalillusion on my face using @suvabeauty Hydra cream base in "Dark Humor Matte". 🌚✌🏼️Used @stilacosmetics matte black eyeshadow for shading.
