  • Mimi Choi is a professional illusion-makeup artist in Vancouver, Canada, who has gone viral for her optical-illusion looks on her face and body. Choi has collaborated with stars like Ezra Miller for their 2019 Met Gala makeup, Shay Mitchell, and Jeff Goldblum. Choi paints directly on her face and adjusts as she goes rather than sketching out an idea ahead of time.
    The process takes an average of four to five hours to complete, and some looks have taken over eight hours. The key to creating the most realistic illusion is lighting, background, and camera and face angles. Her goal is to create expressive art that shocks her audience.

      Because people like her are drowned out by trash makeup "influencers" on UA-cam who thrive on dramas like James Charles and nikita dragun

    I think painting on yourself is the hardest thing to do! It’s easier to do it on others, but these complicated designs on the face must be really challenging !
    It’s giving my eyes and brain a hard time just looking at it for a few seconds, so I can guess what it must be doing to her brain and eyes while painting for hours ….!

    After seeing her makeup art, I no longer have to be afraid of looking at memes of distorted faces-whether I'm online or walking through the streets of Bushwick, Brooklyn in New York City. This woman really changed my way of thinking about optical illusions! As for mythological creatures on the other hand, that's another story...
