Interview With Artist
Have you ever wanted to look like someone else? Well, Alexis Stone, an incredible makeup artist with almost 840k followers on Instagram, can look like anyone she wants. This beautiful British drag queen transforms herself into any celebrity she wishes to. Using makeup and a lot of skill, she can easily look like Angelina Jolie, for example, or Britney Spears. She even turns herself into characters from movies.
"I love the ability to transform myself into others. The ability to play dress-up every day whilst becoming someone else for a moment keeps me sane and inspires me and those around me. Studying someone’s face is what I do best and using makeup to alter mine to resemble them is part of the process," the artist told Bored Panda.

Well I could guess most without looking at the name, so pretty good. Super talent. Some were mind blowingly spot on, some looked like the South Park equivalent of the celeb, but still impressed.
Literally painting other's faces onto his. Very talented artist. He has very handsome face to begin with.
WOW! Why be you when you can be... anyone really. Very impressive make-up skills.
He could definitely teach a class on how to fool facial recognition software.
Load More Replies... Are you a spy? Shape shifter? Chameleon? For sure you're super talented!
A message for the two people who left negative comments on all the pictures: You do realize that these are not paintings/drawings, right?! It's an actual person with the incredible ability to transform himself using makeup? Of course it's not going to be an exact match, if there's any resemblance at all, at least in my mind, he succeeded.
This artist is very talented and special! Manchester queens can really turn a look! And, of course, I love everything drag, my profile is literally RuPaul, that being said, we've seen a lot of posts like these.
He also threw tantrum over the small face challenge Jamie French did....when Chrisspy was the originator, not him. He then imitated Jamie French's makeup...while wearing a fat suit.
And the winner of the Snatch Game is... Seriously, Drag Race UK 2, we better see this queen there!
Mind blowing. Best I've seen at doing look a likes. He is so handsome to start with but still I don't know how he does it so realistic, just the face shape and bone structure. The eyes are always spot on in every single one!
This would be more impressive if we saw video. It's a little more convincing if we saw this with actual motion.
These are great but many look photoshopped. I guess I'll check out his YouTube to see how he does it
This person has many personalities, he's one of the best make-up artist I have ever seen somebody hire him.
Besides being an amazing make up artist, he is a great model. He has to change his expressions in every photo. Very talented.
He’s really talented. Wow. He could play a stunt double for anyone it seems
Amazing makeup artist with super talent, majority of them are beautiful mirror images, some more of a funhouse mirror. Totally flattered Kris Jenner, artist is much prettier.
Very good talent. Some are so good, that it needs a double take to realise that it's makeup. Others looked like early work. The shadowing to shape the face was distracting to me, I would have tried to blend a bit more, so that it's not so stark - otherwise, awesome job!
I upvoted all the people, real and fictional, I knew and recognised. This young man has some serious talent! A couple were off, but at a quick glance you wouldn't know. The eyes I find most mesmerising...
I'm having trouble figuring out if there's photoshop added onto some, if not most, of these. Some shading and blending looks almost too realistic. Either way, he's done a fantastic job with all.
They really look like photo-shopped pictures to me. Id rather see a video so it looks like a real person. Some just look like painted pictures not a person at all. Hard to see the realism in them.
These are so amazing and unique. It inspires me to work on my own art more often. I’m truly amazed at how well he does this. To use your own face as canvas and to turn into all these different people. I bet the trolls on here couldn’t draw anything better than a stick person.
Some of them are really good, but others look just like paintings.
You have real talent. Most of those are so spot-on, that I wouldn't know the difference. Your Carrie Fisher, for instance, made my heart skip a beat. I am a massive fan of hers, and her death was saddening. Some of your makeup jobs, however, look very cartoonish, and I couldn't tell if you were doing that on purpose in most instances. Your Donald Trump looked purposely caricatured, but some of them were flat, two dimensional, in a way that made it look like the celebrity you were impersonating was somebody you did not have a lot of practice impersonating. Overall, you did an amazing job, but I would make one recommendation for this type of work: include a side by side of your pictures, with the pictures of the celebrities they are meant to mimic, celebrity first, then your interpretation. Keep up the fine work.
He's not good a just make-up, he's a frickin impersonator. Hair, dress, clothes are all spot on.
1) asking someone to perform a service "for the exposure" isn't the right way to do things. exposure is basically worthless and a way to get things for free. makeup is expensive, and what he does probably takes hours. 2) in case you forgot, we are in the middle of a PANDEMIC. even though numbers in Manchester are low, it's still not a good idea. 3) he can't actually read what you asked because he's not the one who published the article.
