T GIF! The weekend is almost here and here’s a little something something to pep up your morning. Imagine the magical world of Disney…on your eyelids. Wondering exactly what we’re trying to get at? Katie Alves is one hell of an amazing make-up artist who skilfully paints detailed Disney moments onto her own eyes. The internet recognizes talent in an instant and needless to say, Katie Alves has gone viral-it’d be bizarre if it didn’t!
When we said the 21-year-old “paints onto her own eyes” we sure hope you realised that it would mean she expertly uses teeny tiny brushes with one eye closed. Whew! That’s something purely and truly talented for sure. The minute I saw her work, it was love at first sight. Now imagine finding out that all these awesome looks were created using regular drug store eye makeup from CoverGirl cosmetics! OMG!
The Nightmare before Christmas
“First off, I’d like to say that the house design is not my own. I used sweetgreychaos’ design, so go check her out! Her stuff is amazing! My house is a way smaller version of hers, so sadly it isn’t as crisp, but it’s a house nonetheless. I had a problem with my new yellow I got… it smudges everywhere! I constantly had to keep fixing that damn moon!”
Alice in Wonderland
“MAN did I ever get a lot of requests for this one. I’d tried it a bunch of times, but each time it looked… well crappy. But since so many of you kept asking, I finally got one to look half decent. For the love of god, please don’t go “That mushroom isn’t orange!” or “It’s a grandfather clock, not a pocket watch!” I have limited resources to work with and I am NOT doing an entire grandfather clock. My makeup, my way! So suck it! XD Anyways, so I’ve done the caterpillar with multicolored smoke (because it looks way better than regular smoke XD). The Cheshire Cat’s face, mushrooms and grass on my eyelashes on one eye. A clock, book and a rocking chair falling down the rabbit hole on the second one.”
Aladdin
“Uggghhh! This thing was HARD! This took me much longer than usual. Everything looks a little mutated, but I couldn’t make it much better. The only thing I’m happy with is that… golden… bug thingy. That took forever! The Cave of Wonders kind of looks like the WTF cat! XD”
Tangled
“GAH! I love this movie! So I decided to do the lantern scene! So there’s the castle in the background, the shiny lanterns and the boat with Flynn and Rapunzel holding their lanterns. That orange (you know, the stuff that I told you guys was impossible to get off) is IMPOSSIBLE to get off. I did this three hours ago and I still can’t get the little orange dots off my eyes.”
The Lion King
“The sky was really fun to do! Lots of mixing with eye shadows and the white Halloween cream makeup!”
