Inspired By: Madeyewlook’s Seven Deadly Sins Makeup Art
As lovers of optical illusion art, we dig how special effects makeup art can empower creativity and self-expression. So when we noticed National Lipstick Day was this Thursday, it made us reflect on the artists who take makeup art to the max on their own physical canvases. The transformational power of this art form especially caught our eye when Lex Madeyewlook popped up in our feed a few years ago. With creative makeup looks ranging from creepy to curious, they always manage to make us look.
Maybe it’s the summer heat, but we’re all screaming for this ice cream creation. As part of her Seven Deadly Sins Makeup Series, her dark and sweet look depicts the idea of gluttony. The way Madeyewlook tricks the mind’s eye and contrasts darkness with pops of confectionery color puts us in a sugar coma. From eyes beaming with translucent light to a delightful dash of sprinkles and wicked black details, we can’t get enough. And while we aren’t all as talented with special effects makeup as she is, we want to live in a world with the same trippy energy. So if you’re also craving these vibes at home, we curated a collection of prints with the same surreal, tasty twists.
I can be your sugar when you’re fiendin’ for that sweet spot 🍭 Tiktok @ madeyewlooklex pic.twitter.com/rlNVdlwrmK
