Remember Ezra Miller’s seven-eyed makeup look at the
Met Gala? Of course you do. That was the surrealist work
of Mimi Choi, a professional makeup artist from Vancouver
who is often credited for kickstarting the beauty illusions
trend. Ezra’s “kaleidoscope” look is just one Mimi’s many
hypnotic makeup experiments, all of which drive home the
message that beauty is an illusion – and vice versa.@beautyspock
Frances O’Sullivan’s dolled-up portraits are a one-way ticket through cinema’s glamorous past. Playing both the artist and the muse,
the London model brings to life a beauty aesthetic inspired by screen sirens of yesteryear: Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Marilyn
Monroe. Her obsession with old Hollywood – something she shares with Lana Del Rey, another influence – even extends to her
wardrobe; her transformations are often completed with wigs and vintage-style clothing.© Instagram / @mimiles
