Discouraged comments:

  • "You look better without makeup" - That sort of defeats the purpose of the subreddit, yeah? There's also a difference between this and "I like you without that makeup" - constructive comments about what could be improved are most likely welcome.

  • "You're sexy" - If you wouldn't say it to your sister, it's probably not appropriate here.

  • Anything that could not be seen as helpful or constructive in any light (i.e., comments about weight, etc.)

WHOOOOOSH!

[–]cheshire137 38 points39 points ago

Not whoosh for me, I hadn't seen the painting so I didn't get the makeup photo until this guy shared the BBC article.

[–]Nonna9 7 points8 points ago

nice.

[–]InsideOutBaboon 85 points86 points ago

If I hadn't known about the painting already I'd be pissing myself out of terror right now.

[–]monicacpht3641 46 points47 points ago

What did you do to cover your eyes? This is creepy as hell, and I'm totally showing my husband when he gets home from work.

[–]Redditokki[S] 41 points42 points ago

I used tissues!

[–]walgman 10 points11 points ago

Brilliant. Where did you train? My mrs. is starting a makeup course on Monday and I've been immersed in the art for several months now.

[–]Redditokki[S] 15 points16 points ago

Not sure if serious or...

[–]walgman 7 points8 points ago

Also it seems to me incredibly accurate. To be able to do that takes super talent.

[–]davebawx 4 points5 points ago

...not serious.

[–]urbanbanana 35 points36 points ago

best cosplay EVER!!

hahahahah

[–]discobolus 71 points72 points ago

this needs to be in a subreddit with a huge audience! x-post it in pics or something :p

[–]Redditokki[S] 36 points37 points ago

Good idea! Will do!

[–]TheSmilingGirl 17 points18 points ago

Someone posted it to wtf! Stealing your karma!

[–]Redditokki[S] 20 points21 points ago

It's ok! Just happy it's giving laughs and exposure. :)

[–]discobolus 3 points4 points ago

yeah i guess i could've x-posted it myself... but i'd feel bad

[–]yegua 18 points19 points ago

Yes please do this!! This picture is SO worth the front page!!

[–]svullenballe 16 points17 points ago

This post is already well on it's way. Hadn't even heard of this subreddit before I saw this on page 2. Also, OP: That is some of the creepiest nightmare fuel I've seen in a long while. Crosspost to /r/nosleep!

[–]MichigeekHopelessly Addicted 92 points93 points ago

O

YES.

I seriously haven't laughed this hard in a while. Also drag aspirations right there.

[–]seashells15 24 points25 points ago

That's creepy as hell and I love it :D

[–]watisinternet 22 points23 points ago

THIS. IS. AMAZING.

also nightmare fuel.

but mostly just awesome/hilarious!

[–]ChronicEnt 46 points47 points ago

I am so glad I was supposed to laugh at it and you're not some oblivious acid-to-the-face victim or something.

[–]ketomine 15 points16 points ago

That is terrifying, good great job however you did it!

[–]mandie72 15 points16 points ago

Best reddit post, and best news story of the year - hands down!

[–]ljay7 13 points14 points ago

You are a makeup wizard.

[–]discobolus 26 points27 points ago

are you a wizard?

[–]Redditokki[S] 10 points11 points ago

HAHAHAHA

[–]realist70 78 points79 points ago

Boyfriend here...i almost wrecked my car when she text'd this pic to me...Bravo!

[–]Redditokki[S] 94 points95 points ago

I was going to do this for our wedding. Close enough.

[–]realist70 30 points31 points ago

i would laugh...maybe we can have this as the picture on the table when people walk in?

[–]Redditokki[S] 57 points58 points ago

NO! I AM WALKING DOWN THE ISLE WITH THIS FACE! AND "YOU" WILL LIKE IT!

[–]spunkymarimba 25 points26 points ago

Nobody fucks with the jesus

[–]realist70 12 points13 points ago

I just hope i can block it out next time we have sex...

[–]Skyscraper_Bedouin 4 points5 points ago

Aisle?

[–]Redditokki[S] 3 points4 points ago

[–]Skyscraper_Bedouin 8 points9 points ago

So this Webster guy made this book...

[–]indi_gone 7 points8 points ago

Maybe they're getting married on a small island

HAVE A LITTLE FAITH (in Jesus)

[–]LamesWeirdington 0 points1 point ago

THIS.

[–]Skyscraper_Bedouin 0 points1 point ago

By the way, I realize this is awesome but also goddamn terrifying.

[–]6h057 49 points50 points ago

That's why you don't text and drive.

[–]realist70 11 points12 points ago

true.

[–]realist70 2 points3 points ago

oh...and upvote for you my love!

[–]ApeTitForTwoHundred 13 points14 points ago

I am cackling. This is my favorite news story in a long time, and every clever person seems to come up with something that cracks me up, but I really think this takes the cake. Bravo.

[–]sarahslime 7 points8 points ago

Awesome. Thank you for the literal LOL.

[–]bunbunbunbun 7 points8 points ago

You just made my morning, seriously.

[–]sundriedflowers 6 points7 points ago

hahahah! seriously post this to /r/pics!

[–]katielady125 6 points7 points ago

Nice. Very nice.

[–]captaincreamBatting her lashes 4 points5 points ago

lol that is so scary and funny looking xD

[–]yegua 5 points6 points ago

It would awesome if you could walk up to that old lady in the middle of the night screaming "MY FACE" "MY FACEEE!"

[–]durtypopAspiring Makeup Artist 12 points13 points ago

I DONT UNDERSTAND

[–]Rigelface 3 points4 points ago

[–]Enlarged2ShowTextureBatting her lashes 5 points6 points ago

This is the scariest thing I've ever seen :(

[–]sinverguenza 5 points6 points ago

Holy shit. Showing this to everyone I know.

You are really talented, haha.

[–]bittor 9 points10 points ago

As an amateur restorer Spaniard, I approve of your art. Here.

[–]poopOnUHopelessly Addicted 16 points17 points ago

I think we need an explanation here..

[–]MichigeekHopelessly Addicted 47 points48 points ago

I think it's this.

[–]SubAtomicPlayboy 9 points10 points ago

Holy shit.

[–]cheshire137 2 points3 points ago

Holy cuz it's Jesus, shit cuz it's shit, amirite?

[–]Redditokki[S] 46 points47 points ago

Well... I look like this http://imgur.com/6953R and I wanted to know if I applied correctly with my face shape.

[–]ketomine 12 points13 points ago

But how did you do this? Latex prosthetics?

[–]Redditokki[S] 27 points28 points ago

Just makeup and tissue over the eyes and mouth. I just took regular kleenex and applied foundation and whatever eyeshadow. The moisture from the foundation just stuck to my already 3 layers of foundation. Probably a better way to do this... no pun intended.

[–]ketomine 8 points9 points ago

Wow, that's amazing! Do you have a background in sfx makeup? How did you create the elongated nose?

[–]Redditokki[S] 9 points10 points ago

Nope, no background just fun.

[–]ketomine 3 points4 points ago

Wow, well great job! Do you often do elaborate makeup like this? If you do, you should post more of your creations!

[–]Redditokki[S] 6 points7 points ago

It's my first! I wish I did! I have to give more credit to the lighting in this photo.

[–]lily1346 7 points8 points ago

That just looks like extra shading on the upper part of her nose and then slanted off to one side to make it look longer. Really impressive!

[–]Rose375Aspiring Makeup Artist 5 points6 points ago

But how did you do it without being able to see?

[–]Redditokki[S] 14 points15 points ago

You kind of look down because I didn't "seal" the bottom part of the tissue. It just kind of happened. As I was doing this, I didn't realize my eyes, when closed, couldn't be covered up fully. So I thought "OOO! Tissues!!" Trial and error.

[–]youhatemeandihateyou 2 points3 points ago

If you did this with just foundation and kleenex, I would love to see what you could do with some mortician's wax and latex. If you ever do more FX-type makeup, please head over to /r/effects.

[–]Zailmeister 2 points3 points ago

I would imagine it was hard to put the rest of the makeup on when the tissues were over your eyes...

[–]Redditokki[S] 5 points6 points ago

Actually that went on last and the lighting really helped out to smooth over the tissue. In a well light room, it looks like bandages.

[–]bio_lol_gist 9 points10 points ago

You are a genius, and I fucking love you. I have been looking at this pic for quite awhile now and it is still making me laugh AND shake my head in amazement at how good it is.

You, madam, are talented. And you already have a great Halloween costume! (Although I suppose it might be difficult for you to see with tissue over your eyes... Maybe you could just kind of stand there with a frame around your head.)

Thanks for sharing.

(edit: grammar)

[–]Redditokki[S] 5 points6 points ago

Thank you for your kind words! It would be a fun halloween costume... just need to figure out the logistics of vision! :)

[–]bio_lol_gist 0 points1 point ago

At least consider making it your Facebook profile pic (if you use Facebook).

[–]Redditokki[S] 1 point2 points ago

I did this afternoon!!

[–]bio_lol_gist 0 points1 point ago

I like you. You really did make my day. Cheers!

[–]Redditokki[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks! You made my day! :D

[–]Smoochitis 4 points5 points ago

Holy crap, I just laughed so hard. I love you.

[–]NeilAnthony 2 points3 points ago

Sofa King right.

[–]betti_cola 2 points3 points ago

I love you SO MUCH. Please post this to r/pics (with a better title).

[–]winnynyny 5 points6 points ago

OH MY GOD. NIGHTMARES FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[–]Arsenycal 5 points6 points ago

So freaking creepy and brilliant!!!!

[–]Monstoner 5 points6 points ago

Shit! This should be on r/creepy!!

You made me laugh!

[–]tapthatassBrow perfectionist 3 points4 points ago

I'm torn between being terrified and losing my shit. Bravo.

[–]scruffy01 4 points5 points ago

First thing to actually make me laugh out loud in months.

Good job

[–]bakersgonnabakeCasual user 5 points6 points ago

[–]jpop325 2 points3 points ago

That's terrifying.

[–]jillrabbit 2 points3 points ago

hahahah, Wow...that is great. Please x-post to pics, I think all will enjoy this!

[–]paniniplant 2 points3 points ago

Oh fuck this was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen.

[–]sexytime26 2 points3 points ago

Not gonna lie, this picture scared the crap outta me.

[–]carpe-jvgvlvm 2 points3 points ago

Freakin AMAZING! I'm looking at your regular pic from /wtf and this one, and am just amazed at your skill.

Great job!

[–]Kreetard 2 points3 points ago

You are amazing and I think I'm just, y'know, gonna abstain from sleep for a while.

[–]Prettyundead 1 point2 points ago

This is the best thing I've seen not only on those subreddit, but on Reddit as a whole, ever. Well executed, and somehow better than the real thing. :) Thanks for the laughs, I'm ill and needed a pick-me-up.

[–]letstryagain97 3 points4 points ago

Why is this thing posted all over reddit what is it?

[–]Rigelface 0 points1 point ago

Source

[–]letstryagain97 -1 points0 points ago

So he ruined priceless art with his awful art?

[–]Rigelface 0 points1 point ago

She. Yes. Or rather, she didn't restore it anywhere near to it's original form. Ruined is a matter of perception.

[–]polish_royaleLiner Addict 4 points5 points ago

This is really excellent. The fucked up hair sticking out to the side is a very nice touch. Bravo.

[–]strandedonline 2 points3 points ago

I love you. This is so awesome and you're a genious!

[–]TurbinePoweredVagina 1 point2 points ago

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[–]Mikantwist 1 point2 points ago

I lost my shit laughing, bravo!

[–]snugglehistory 2 points3 points ago

Congratulations to you because this really scarred me for life. I'm feeling things that I've never felt before and I feel like puking everywhere.

Take that as a compliment 'cause this is awesome/creepy as fuck.

[–]sleepernumber8 1 point2 points ago

Holy crap! This terrified me.

No. Deadly serious. I work in London in film industry. My mrs has been a hairdresser for 20 years and wants a way to do something different.
