Trending Makeup Look: Optical Illusions

 

Say goodbye to your average everyday makeup looks and get ready for the new trend of optical illusion makeup looks.

If you watched the Met Gala (who didn’t??), you probably saw Ezra Miller rocking a trippy makeup look that featured five sets of eyes. The talented makeup artist behind this look is named Mimi Choi, she is known for her unique makeup looks that feature swirls, paintings and drippings. Choi strays away from “normal” day to day looks and instead emphasizes that makeup truly is a form of art. Check out some more of her work below!

4AM start to get Ezra Miller ready for Met Gala 2019! 🦓 #metcamp #metgala #metgala2019 #ezramiller #campnotesonfashion ⁣ ⁣ Because the makeup had to be ready by 9:30AM for photoshoots and last till end of the day, I had to make sure the makeup was stable all day long. I used @mehronmakeup Mimi Choi Illusion Palette, @kryolanofficial Aquacolor, @makeupforeverofficial Artist Color Pencils, and @velourlashesofficial @houseoflashes falsies for the multiple eye illusion. Skin was done using @kevynaucoin Skin Enhancer and @katvondbeauty Shade+Light Face Contour Palette. Lips were @maccosmetics Ruby Woo. The whole face was thoroughly set with Green Marble Sealer. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you for all the love! I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes of our Met prep throughout this week. ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ Makeup: me⁣⁣⁣ Makeup assist: @paulalanzador⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Hair: @samiknighthair ⁣⁣⁣ Nails: @naominailsnyc

To be very honest, I just really wanted to show off the bomb hair @evalam_ did on me. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Products: ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @makeupforeverca Ultra HD Concealers⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @mehronmakeup Mimi Choi Illusion Palette ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @urbandecaycosmetics Cherry Naked⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @maccosmeticscanada Jeremy Scott Cheeky Mixtape⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @cozzettebeauty Infinite blush palette ⁣@cozzettebeauty “Lijha” Lip Synergy ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @velourlashesofficial Sinful
