Makeup was solely meant to beautify the face and body. But not until modern makeup artists found a creative way to use cosmetics to create stunning artworks. And what could be more mind-blowing than impressive optical illusions? Self-taught makeup artist RJ Tulloch is one of the fastest-rising makeup artists on social media due to her amazing makeup that will certainly make you look twice.
Romanie-Jade, or simply RJ, shows off her remarkable skills using her own face as her canvas. This Nottinghamshire-based makeup artist only started perfecting her makeup illusions in 2018. RJ didn’t study makeup but she studied fine art at Nottingham College for two years. Her love for art and makeup inspired her to merge her passions into one. Instead of paintbrush and paint, she uses makeup brushes, eyeshadow palettes, eyeliners and face paint.

The process for her makeup art varies depending on the theme she settles on. She uses all of the normal makeup tools in a different way to achieve illusions that are guaranteed to trick the eyes. RJ reveals that everything she does is a bit random and most of her themes come as a random thought popping into her head. To ensure that her jaw-dropping makeup art isn’t digitally-enhanced in any way, she often uploads videos showing exactly how she paints her face.
