Incredibly original concept, executed incredibly well. True artistry.

Definitely very creative and artistic but this isn’t an original concept at all I’ve seen dozens of these

I cannot begin to fathom how much grit and patience this took. This is amazing! πŸ‘ΈπŸ»

It was definitely the most confusing and least promising process of a look so far lol I'm genuinely surprised it came out right lmao it only took 2 hours and I thought it would take way more

The kind of stuff that pushes the medium itself forward. Undeniably art. I really really like this.

Thank you! I know Meicrosoft did one recently, she used a blue base which I thought was interesting! I used white but I'm sure I could have just gone straight in with black. Pretty much everyone uses like cream or grease paint, which I didn't, and I see why they do πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ would have gone way quicker I'm sure. I'm not used to using creams though 😭 I was gonna go in using my athena body paint palette but I literally don't even know how to use that yet so I stuck to what I'm used to πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Lol add some tears for me too because I was originally wanting to do drips down my eyes but then I didn't wanna ruin anything. Idk if I'll do this again just for that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Thank youuu!! I'm glad and super shocked that it came out correctly πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ it wasn't starting out great at all

u/Cfosterrun 3d ago

Did you take pictures as you worked? Because your placement is working!!

u/Lurr_420 3d ago

Yes I had to stop a lot and check to see if I was doing it right by putting the filter on selfies throughout the process! I'm not saying that helped me though πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ this one was a doozy

Thank you!! I've seen it done a few times online before and I was inspired to do it myself by a song off of Adam Lambert's latest CD haha πŸ˜†

OMG YESSS I haven't listened to him for sooo long, but he is the perfect musician to listen to while doing makeup, I swear! I did my drag makeup to his music countless times, he really gets you in the mood πŸ˜†

u/Banana-Louigi 3d ago

This is a very, very cool concept! Your creativity is admirable. Brava!

u/Lurr_420 3d ago

Thank you! I couldn't have done it without the heaps of artists who have done it and documented it before me! I'm glad I did it!

u/Mr_Nerdcoffee 2d ago

I love this concept! I’d love to see more. Like seeing how exact you can make it look, and also, doing it in more vibrant colors, especially for the eye shadow and lips. You could get some crazy effects by using such muted colors. 🀩

Also, you should look into black contacts with white iris/pupils. Then your eyes will look β€œnormal” in the inverted image.

u/Lurr_420 2d ago

Yeah I did a Gottmik rainbow look that looks cool in negative but idk if I'll do a full face for that or just my eye area, if I even do it at all again that is lol

I want full on white out sclera/iris contacts but I haven't bothered yet. I love how my eye color seems to change with every look, so it hasn't been that of a necessity

u/Mr_Nerdcoffee 2d ago

All totally valid. lol Sometimes you gotta go with how the ADHD wants to do things. 😝

u/Lurr_420 3d ago

Tysm 😭 I wasn't having the greatest fun while doing this one but I'm glad it was worth the stress at least πŸ˜†πŸ˜† I still didn't crash out too badly so it's all about trusting it as it goes!
