Editor 19 Oct 2018, 06:40 PM Share Tweet Main image via Catraca LivreWith so many professional makeup gurus in the game, here are a few with unique skills. Their job isn’t to make you look pretty, but rather, to make you look satisfyingly—for some people—creepy.via GIPHY#1 Mimles Meet Mimi Choi (@mimles), a Vancouver-based makeup artist with insane skills. We’d stare at her work and wonder if it’s Photoshop-ed or not. Yes, she’s THAT good at what she does. Check it out for yourself: View this post on Instagram My obsession is my cure. • This is #makeup — took 6 hours to freehand. I suffer from #anxiety on top of my sleep paralysis, and painting is both therapeutic and calming to me. Sometimes the obstacles in your life are your biggest blessings in disguise. It is through my anxiety that I realize I enjoy painting little details which in turn helps me build up my patience for intricate art. My issues have all indirectly led me to the career that I have now. So don’t you give up when you’re feeling down. Utilize whatever you’re feeling to fuel you in a positive way. It’s up to you whether you let your problems drag you down further or lift you to a higher ground. • Inspired by the digital art of @stinawalfridssonA post shared by ＭＩＭＩ ＣＨＯＩ (@mimles) on Aug 24, 2018 at 4:01am PDTIt wasn’t always about making faces look distorted for Mimi. The idea came when she started suffering from sleep paralysis and hallucinating about scary things like people with sliced faces, shadows, bug and more. Yikes!via GIPHYOne day, she decided to paint out what she saw. Luckily for her, once she started doing so, the freaky nightmare stopped.

The Japan-based makeup artist also uses her body as a canvas because she can’t be bothered to look for something proper to paint on. View this post on Instagram I know many of you’ll find this creepy but I like it so I’ll post I don’t have a title either, ideas? #bodypaint #artA post shared by チョーヒカル Hikaru Cho (@hikaru_cho) on Aug 28, 2018 at 8:35pm PDT"People tend to judge others just by their appearances, the colour of their skin, their eyes. I think that is really stupid. So I create these pieces of work with a message to others that not all is what it seems on the surface," she said.
