Vor fast drei Jahren hatte ich euch hier im Blog die kreativen Arbeiten von Mimi Choi vorgestellt. In der Zwischenzeit hat der kanadische Make-up Artist nicht nur viele weitere sehenswerte Motive geschaffen, die aus der richtigen Perspektive betrachtet kleine optische Illusionen darstellen, sondern auch einfach mal eine Followerzahl von schlappen 1,3 Millionen(!) auf Instagram gesammelt. Respekt! Und sowas von Zeit für ein kleines Update hier im Blog, wie ich finde. Hier also ein paar neuere Arbeiten von Mimi Choi für euch:
„I’ve always been into art and makeup since I was a child, but never thought that I could ever make a career out of it. So after graduating from university, I studied to become a Montessori preschool instructor. While I love teaching and working with children, I felt suppressed in a way because I had to dress and act in a certain manner. I found that I would paint intricate details on my nails or doodle at home in the evenings as a sort of creative release. My mom had noticed this for a while and one day, she suggested that maybe I look into makeup school. With my family’s support, I enrolled at a local makeup school called Blanche Macdonald Centre here in Vancouver. It was here that I fell in love with makeup and met so many incredible friends and mentors. During my first Halloween as a makeup student, I decided to try out an illusion look that I had seen online. It was a simple cracked face look and after posting it on Instagram, I received a lot of positive feedback. This encouraged me to explore the illusion genre further and I’ve been doing it ever since.“
Viele weitere originelle Make-up-Illusionen und -Verwandlungen gibt es auf dem Instagram-Profil (@mimles) sowie der Facebook-Fanpage von Mimi Choi zu bestaunen. Und hin und wieder auch ein paar interessante Making-of-Videos zur Entstehung der einzelnen Make-up-Verwandlungen:
