This Makeup Artist’s Work Takes Optical Illusions to the Next Level

Mimi Choi, 31, is a Vancouver-based make-up artist known for her exceptional skills in creating optical illusions with makeup.

Choi never uses Photoshop for her images; instead, she relies solely on her makeup techniques to achieve stunning effects such as quadrupling eyes or making her head appear sliced in half.

« My face is a blank canvas where I can practise my art, » Choi tells the Metro.

Choi masterfully creates illusions of her face melting, cracking like glass, and even lacing her eye sockets with tiny blue bows.

Often spending up to five hours on a single artwork, Choi uses her Instagram to promote the benefits of unleashing creativity through any possible medium.
