While there has been a lot of seriousness and controversy surrounding the US Presidential Election 2016, [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) makeup artist Kandee Johnson had some fun with the theme for a recent political makeup transformation video.

Rather than completing two separate full-face makeup looks, her 'Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump Makeup Transformation' is a [two-in-one look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/effin-sculpt) that is split down the middle, with each side of her face representing the likeness of each candidate. Her look is finished off by a wig and a costume that is also split into two separate pieces to represent both individuals leading the Democrat and [Republican](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusemints-election-collection) parties.

As part of the finished political makeup transformation, Kandee is asking her viewers to vote on which side of her face looks the most like the real political candidates.
