A 22-year old college student named Dain Yoon, utilises makeup to create mind blowing illusions.
She studies art at the Korea National University. “I attended Yewon Arts secondary and Seoul Arts high school, graduating at the head of my class. These art schools are the most prestigious ones in Korea,” said Yoon
The optical illusions she creates are done using her own face.
Yoon’s work is inspired by her fascination with human complexity. “To express the multi-dimensioned perspectives that humans possess, I paint my ideas on my own body,” she said.
They definitely make you look twice.
She also loves painting her hands to make them look transparent.
And even camouflaging herself into the background.
They’re definitely not a 5-minute artsy thing, Yoon takes between 3 to 12 hours to complete such looks. In order to create these illusions she uses body paint, acrylic paint, and numerous makeup products.
Yoon says that she does not want to be a solo artist but she wants “to form collaborations with fashion-brands, singers, and other artists.”
“I wish to continue my career as an artist who can communicate with audiences and share my inspiration with them,” she said.
