Woman Draws Most Realistic Eye Makeup on Her Arm

From Cosmopolitan

Scroll through Instagram once and you'll see a ton of zoomed-in eyeballs adorned with amazing makeup looks and the tutorials to go with them. But user Gabrielle Alexis (@gabxxrielle) has taken her makeup skills even further. Instead, she uses her artistic ability to draw gorgeous – and extremely realistic – eyeshadow looks on her forearm.

Her first forearm art - foreART, if you will - was originally uploaded in October 2016 and she's been documenting looks ever since. She often adds extra rhinestones, bling, and sparkles to the eyes for extra drama. Because, who doesn't love a little sparkle?

But the fact that she's drawing eye makeup on her arm isn't the shocking part. It's more about how realistic her artwork is. At first glance, I thought she glued actual falsies to her arm, but it turns out that she draws on such perfectly curled lashes that they look three-dimensional. And so do the eyebrows, eyeshadow, highlight and contouring - even down to creating the bridge of a nose. All of it is just. So. Spot. ON.

In her captions, Alexis is so kind to list the products she uses (just in case you want to recreate the look) and it seems she has her favorites: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade (to create those killer brows, of course), Morphe brushes (to apply all of the makeup with serious precision), and black eyeliner from theBalm Cosmetics (for a razor-sharp cat-eye). Oh, and if you were asking yourself if she could translate her artistry on her own eyes, the answer is yes. Just see for yourself below:

Now, if I can just get her to give me a killer eyeshadow look like that, because damn.
