This Celebrity Makeup Artist Recreates Classic Paintings on Her Face
Lisa Houghton is a celebrity makeup artist whose work has graced countless Vogue covers, and she can thank her steady hand and creative mind. She’s now experimenting with recreating classical paintings using her own face as a canvas, and the results are amazing. In September of last year, Houghton posted a video of her Mona Lisa rendition, and she hasn’t stopped since. Her collection of work also includes recreations of Vermeer, Banksy, Botticelli, Magritte, Munch, Klimt, Tretchikoff, and Monet. See her time lapse masterpieces below.
