For characters with non-human faces, Elsa uses the paint itself to mask her features.<\/p>\n

Elsa often uses colored contacts, but in this case, she simply painted her eyelids to get the blank look of the White Walkers.<\/p>\n

Venom<\/a><\/h3>\n

Face painting doesn’t have to stay on the face. Elsa used her jaw and neck to create Venom’s huge, gaping mouth.<\/p>\n

Red Skull<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you’re going to make yourself look like Red Skull, you’re better off using face paint instead of…the alternative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not all of Elsa’s creations come from pop culture. She designs many herself, and finds inspiration all over the place. Her influences include art and design, children’s books, and other makeup artists.<\/p>\n

This gruesome paint job was inspired by another makeup artist, Jay Bautista.<\/p>\n

Elsa knows that face paint doesn’t have to be complex to be effective. This piece uses plain white with areas of color to create a striking effect.<\/p>\n

Breaking the Mold<\/a><\/h3>\n

This design also uses the contrast of plain white and color to create a 3D effect.<\/p>\n

Using just black and white, she’s created something really interesting. And yes, she paints her hair, too. That’s dedication!<\/p>\n

Check out this video below to see her in action. It’s part of a collaborative project with another talented makeup artist,\u00a0<\/span>Ashlea Henson<\/a>, in which they each painted themselves as cyborgs. She also has a good sense of humor!<\/p>\n
