Illusions made flesh: the amazingly surrealistic makeup art of RJ

RJ (aka Cakeface RJ), a UK-based self-taught makeup artist, isn’t just a beautician – she’s a visionary. Using her own face as a canvas, RJ conjures breathtakingly surreal makeup creations. Think optical illusions woven from eyeshadow, geometric patterns defying reality, and even entire landscapes blooming across her features. Her work transcends makeup artistry, teetering on the edge of performance art and pure visual magic.

Beyond the technical skill on display, there’s a sense of playfulness and boundless imagination in RJ’s art. She takes viewers on a whimsical journey through impossible worlds, all meticulously rendered with makeup and captured through photography. A must-see for anyone who appreciates the transformative power of makeup and the limitless possibilities of human creativity.
