Teacher Uses Drugstore Makeup To Turn Face Into Epic Optical Illusions

I would say I’m pretty good at doing my makeup.

I watch my fair share of makeup tutorials on YouTube, and I can confidently make my way around an eye-shadow palette.

But still, I would never call myself an expert at makeup — and artists like Mimi Choi are exactly why.

According to Allure, Mimi is a 31-year-0ld makeup artist from Vancouver, and her incredible work has been taking Instagram by storm.

I’ve seen some pretty incredible makeup transformations, but I have to say, I’ve never seen anything like Mimi’s work before.

From transforming her fiancé into a dog to adding eyes to her face, Mimi creates works of art that are so impressive, they could easily live in a museum. But the truth is even more impressive: They exist only for a little while on someone’s face.

When it comes down to it, Mimi is entirely changing her body with makeup. It truly is remarkable.

When she’s not creating mind-bending works of art on her face, Mimi Choi looks like your typical 31-year-old. But give her a paintbrush and some makeup, and things change fast.

Mimi told Allure that she takes inspiration from the things around her, from food to art.

Mimi, who used to be a teacher, says her main goal “is to beat myself from yesterday because I’m the biggest critic and competition to myself.”
