Makeup can be a great way to highlight your features or hide something we’re insecure about. However, some are able to take it to a whole new level and turn makeup into a magical form of self-expression and art. Mimi Choi is one of these people - with her mindblowing optical illusion looks, the artist has amassed an audience of 1.7 million followers on Instagram.
Surprisingly, her creations are often inspired by the visions she has during episodes of sleep paralysis: "In addition to not being able to move, I see things," she says. "Once I do a makeup of some vision, it never repeats itself."

That is brilliant. My brain hurts trying to piece everything together.
Girls when they come back from a party late at night and are too lazy to remove their makeup
Painting with this much detail is hard on paper/canvas, imagine painting these on yourself!
This one is... Interesting. This woman has some amazing talent though
This takes pop art and surrealism to a whole new level.
