Artista cria ilusão de ótica com maquiagem – estamos pirando!

Poderia ser Photoshop, mas é tudo feito com make mesmo!

Maquiagem é uma coisa poderosa, né? Sabendo as técnicas certas, você pode criar desenhos incríveis com blush, sombra e batom. E é isso que Mimi Choi, uma maquiadora canadense, tem feito. Em seu Instagram, ela posta makes que criam ilusões de ótica que confundem um pouco (ou muito!) os seus seguidores.

This is MAKEUP 👁👁👁 • "Don't give people so much power over you that their silence leaves you questioning your worth." • COPY AND PASTE #multipleeyes and brow makeup done on myself using @makeupforeverofficial ink liner, Aqua XL pencils and Aquarelle. Brows were painted on using Aqua Brow 25. Definitely not the most realistic looking but that was the best I could do after 3 illusions that day. Took around 1.5 hours. As @satsukisoma said to me, sometimes you feel like you're going to have a nose bleed from what you're doing but you just gotta keep going. 😂

De tigre branco a olhos por todo o rosto, passando por peles “quebrando”, as maquiagens são tão realistas que podem ser um pouco ~assustadoras~.

Close-up of the #whitetiger makeup I did on @csandny • Her eyes were actually closed here and the tiger eyes were painted right under her eyebrows. I didn't have time to take a proper photo because I had to do 5 illusions in a day for this project so I had to speed things up. A lot of you ask how I make the black so black. To prevent the black from looking shiny and to maximize depth, I normally use matte black paints. I prefer using water-based paints over creams. My favourite paints include @mehronmakeup Face & Body Makeup, @makeupforeverofficial Aqua XL Color Paints, @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and @Maccosmetics Chromacakes and Acrylics. Also, when I take a photo of the makeup, I make sure there's no light shining onto the sides of the face because any reflection will take away from the illusion of a gap. Natural lighting is always best and I never use flash to take this kind of photos. I usually just use my iPhone 7 Plus and never depend on Photoshop, other than contrasting the colors.

Muitos dos produtos usados por Mimi não são específicos para maquiagem artística e de efeito especial, ou seja, podemos – tentar – reproduzir em casa. A única coisa que temos que ter é paciência, já que ela demora cerca de 5 horas para fazer um make que cobre o rosto inteiro!

Em entrevista para a Allure, ela explicou que se inspira em fotografias, pinturas, situações do cotidiano e suas próprias emoções para criar as ilusões de ótica. Ela também disse que valoriza um trabalho original: “Tento não olhar muito o trabalho de outros maquiadores e me desafiar a produzir um trabalho único”.

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. Initially I just wanted to test out how black my new @mehronmakeup Paradise makeup is… Oh my gaaa I love it! Thanks @mehronmakeup! 🖤 #alwayslistentomom #hollowhead
