Mimi Choi, una talentosa artista del maquillaje de Vancouver (Canadá), es tan buena en lo que hace que asusta. Literalmente. Utiliza su cara como lienzo para crear increíbles ilusiones ópticas.
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!

Choi comparte sus creaciones con sus 140.000 seguidores de Instagram y promete que no utiliza Photoshop en ningún momento —salvo en el caso de un vídeo psicodélico que puedes ver más abajo en el que lo indica expresamente—.
Wow 61K+ likes on this look so far! Thanks for the overwhelming amount of support and love everyone! For those who is wondering if this was Photoshopped -- No, this was done with just #makeup, please see the video in the last post. Unfortunately, I do not do video tutorials because most of the time I don't actually know what I'm trying to achieve or if it's even going to be successful at all. I really enjoy creating spontaneously so planning tutorials would not give me the same kind of satisfaction. I hope that my strange creatives can inspire people to think out of the box and create a style and trend that is unique to themselves.

️ CUBED ️ #makeup illusion using @nyxcosmetics matte black eyeliner and eyeshadows and @suvabeauty hydra creams. This is what 3 cups of coffee do to my brain. • Inspired by bathroom tiles.

Aunque no son creaciones que el aficionado al maquillaje medio pueda imitar fácilmente en casa, al menos los productos que utiliza sí están al alcance del común de los mortales. Choi usa marcas como NYX o Make Up For Ever para realizar sus complejos looks.
Esta artista no cuelga tutoriales porque no siempre comienza con una idea clara de cuál va a ser el resultado. "La mayor parte de las veces no sé qué intento conseguir o si voy a obtener un buen resultado", escribió en una publicación reciente de Instagram.
Last one of this look I did on @lahbra 🖤 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. Go to @blancheworld to see the rules for entering the new #BLANCHEWINS contest to win THE @patmcgrathreal Metalmorphosis 005 Kit!

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. Stay tuned for more weird !

Si los ojos fuera de sitio y las caras retorcidas no son lo tuyo, quizá te gusten más sus impresionantes imitaciones de sushi que pinta en sus manos.
This is #MAKEUP on my hand (Turn on sound!) • When @andrewy527 gets hungry again at 11PM... #donteven • SALMON #SUSHI makeup illusion using @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and @suvabeauty Hydra liners. Coated with @skinillustratorofficial Clear Gloss. All makeup, no Photoshop. If you are wondering where my arm is -- I painted my wrist to blend with the dish and the rest of my arm black to camouflage into the black table. Look closely and you'll find it. Took 1 hour in total. #sashimi #salmonsushi #illusionmakeup #handpainting #handmakeup #trickart #makeupvideo

This is #MAKEUP on my hand • EBI SUSHI • It was midnight and I literally could not stop laughing at myself. Being a single child has made me extremely good at being my own best entertainment. Done using @kryolanofficial Aquacolors, @suvabeauty Hydra Liners and @stilacosmetics intense black stay-all-day liquid eyeliner. Video coming next. I apologize for the lack of posts lately - 24 hours per day have not been enough. #handpainting

Another version of my BROKEN FACE makeup #illusion using @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca Aqua lip liners, Aqua XL pencils, artist shadows, Aqua brow and @velourlashesofficial "Whispie Sweet Nothings".

My very sweet and long holiday has officially ended and I'm again back in hamster wheel working mode. I think my most recent creative deserves one last post because I put 5 dizzying hours into it. I even had to take a small nap in between to prevent my eyes from staying crossed forever. ________________ LACE UP • Shoelace quadruple eye #makeup illusion using @suvabeauty Hydra liners, @nyxcosmetics @nyxcosmetics_canada liquid eyeliners, @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca artist eyeshadows and @houseoflashes "Knockout" false lashes. All makeup, no Photoshop.

"If people copy you, move on. Create better, more unique things. They will always be one step behind, playing catchup." - @minsooky ___________ Close-up of the signature multiple-eye/lips makeup illusion I did on Emma yesterday. This might or might not have contributed to me fainting on the street after work, haha. Thank God @andrewy527 was there to collect me off the ground. To all makeup artists: Don't forget to eat this weekend. #MIMLESHALLOWEEN ___________ All hand-painted using @makeupforeverofficial @makeupforeverca flash palettes and Aqua XL eye pencils. Lashes are @velourlashesofficial "Whispie Sweet Nothings". Used @evepearl HD foundation and @stilacosmetics intense black stay-all-day eyeliner to define the eyes.
