It is not every day that someone can almost convincingly transform themselves into an animated character using only makeup and vlogger 'Chrisspy' does just that with her tutorial inspired by the Finding Dory movie.
The makeup artist uses a bald cap to smooth out her hair so that she has a blank surface to replicate Dory on her face. She then traces an outline and fills it out with the same signature blue color that is unique to tang fish -- complete with the large eyes, black accents and a dopey smile that can be seen on Dory. She prints out paper fins to attach to her head to complete the look. The end result is a realistic, if slightly unsettling, image that is truly a piece of art.
By showcasing her excellent makeup skills, this artist manages to promote the upcoming Finding Dory movie in a creative way.
