Bored Panda reached out to Saskia to learn more about her creative work. She revealed that she started doing creative makeup in October 2019, but she has always been interested and loved makeup and drawing. The artist never studied makeup art and all the makeup looks that you can see here Saskia learned to do on her own.

Groot
It takes from six to ten hours to create a fully finished look. Saskia shared that the most difficult transformation was when she tried to recreate Groot. It took her 12 hours to finish the look. The wood structure was made out of cotton pads and latex, which "took forever to dry".
Saskia uses all kinds of makeup, from eyeshadow to special fix masks.

Even though the makeup looks that Saskia creates are incredible, the artist doesn't consider herself a professional. "I still have a lot to learn!"

The drips on the face!! Literally everyone is saying this... But how does she do that???
Yea she's done a lower base of the gold paint then added prosethics above and smoothed into her nose and cheeks. You can see just a slight ridge on her nose where it would have been glued on and the cheek ones are just around her eye bones. She's done an amazing job

In this case she's added prosthetics around her eyes and gave herself the green buggy eyes which look amazing.

Okay no disrespect but this just looks like a cutout of a painting attached to her face.
Parts of it, yes. But you can see the outline of her face

The point is she blends so seamlessly into the cartoon face that it almost appears less dimensional. How remarkable is that. She has taken 3D and made it appear 2D. That is a SFX indeed.
I am not “silly” I just believe that its not as insane as it first seems.

As a Libra I approve. I love the blue and gold contrast, it reminds me a bit of how the statue of liberty oxidized.
I too am a libra and approve that this person is funny. Lol

Incredible. Thestrals are magical creatures from Harry Potter that you can only see if you've seen someone die.

This is incredible. She is so talented. However, one question. How long does this take to wash off?
i doubt it could take more time than getting rid off my military camouflage paint
Load More Replies...Are these only makeup or makeup and photoshop? If the latter then they’re still impressive, but now I want to see a video of them.
Make-up plus props. No Photoshop. She's amazingly talented. Edit: her TikTok is khaleesiisaa
