They say that makeup is meant to enhance a person's natural beauty. These people clearly didn't get that memo because their makeup attempts are next-level and should be considered crimes against all-things-beauty. Take a look at these hilarious makeup fails, and cringe along with us.

If you're a woman who has even the slightest interest in beauty, skincare, or makeup, chances are you've lost months' worth of rent to Sephora. It's the place we hate to love and love to hate. The Narnia of the beauty world and the place where we kid ourselves into thinking we'll "only spend $100 this time." Never has anyone ever left Sephora, having spent anything less than a small country's worth of makeup. But when those black and white isles call our name and sell us the promise of flawless, glossy skin, there's not much we can do to stop it.

They say makeup is meant to enhance the wearer's natural beauty, not change their appearance (unless that's what you're aiming for, of course). But it's a delicate balance between enhancing your god-given beauty and creating a reality that isn't there. And these people prove just how fine that line is. These pictures of makeup fails will leave you utterly cringed out.

In today's over-saturated market, makeup artists have a hard time standing out. When it comes to showcasing your talents on social media, originality is vital. One Israeli makeup artist has found her niche by creating mesmerizing images on people's eyelids. From drawing stunningly intricate Disney characters to detailed, delicious-looking treats, Tal Peleg somehow manages to create masterpieces on eyelids that look like photographs. They bring a whole new meaning to the term "eye-candy."

We love bringing you all the beauty blunders we come across. It's crazy how someone will do something to their face or body that makes it look WORSE, just because it's trending. The latest beauty fail is in the form of Bratz Dolls makeup looks. That's right; people are transforming their faces to look like the big-eyed, big-headed popular children's dolls. The talent might be exceptional, but the final look? No. Thank. You. Check out some of the makeup looks below and let us know what you think.

Makeup artists these days are coming up with incredible ways to showcase their talent, proving how much makeup can transform a person's face. Canadian based makeup artist Mimi Choi is taking her creativity one step further, and producing incredibly realistic images of food on different parts of her body that blend seamlessly into the background. Her painting skills create a 3D illusion effect, making it look like she has real food placed onto her body. Mimi's unique artistic style makes for mesmerizing pictures and videos, the best of which we've compiled for you below.

Makeup artists have the ability to enhance the natural beauty of any face using clever contouring and concealing any blemishes. But it's another skill entirely to be able to use makeup to transform a face into that of another... especially when it comes to looking like celebrities. That's exactly what Alexis Stone, an extremely talented makeup artist from Manchester, UK, can do as if it's no effort whatsoever. The drag queen's Instagram - which boasts 840k followers - is full of his incredible pictures of total celebrity transformations that he has created on his own face. From Angelina Jolie to Jennifer Aniston, to Greta Thunberg, he nails it every single time. Scroll through these pictures and check out his extreme talent.

The internet is full of challenges and trends, which go viral on various platforms. Whether it's to raise money for charity, spread a social message, or just an excuse for people to show off their plain stupidy, TikTok has recently become a hotspot for these viral challenges and one of the latest sees people creating tiny mouths and noses out of makeup on the upper half of their face and covering the lower halves with masks (very COVID-19 appropriate). 

Titled the 'Tiny Face Challenge' TikTok users are getting more and more creative with their masterpieces. Check out some of the best below.
