It’s a little difficult to explain exactly what you’re about to be looking at, so we’ll let artist Dain Yoon’s own website profile explain:
“Often referred to as a “makeup artist,” Dain Yoon is actually a classically trained painter who happens to use herself as her canvas.
Although the art looks Photoshopped, each piece is 100% authentic, painted by herself, in mirror image, on herself – which can take anywhere from 3 up to 12 hours.”
There’s plenty more to learn about this fabulous creator from there, but maybe the best way to give you a taste is just to show you some favorite, often disorientingly creative examples of her work via Instagram.
