What this video covers

Makeup artist Alexys Fleming transforms herself into Alex Vause from Orange is the New Black using face and body paint — including a fully painted-on prison outfit and tattoos rather than actual clothing. The look draws on her own natural resemblance to actress Laura Prepon and showcases advanced body-painting and illusion techniques. A range of professional and drugstore products are used together to achieve the complete character effect.

Key takeaways

  • The entire costume — clothing and tattoos — is painted directly onto the body rather than worn
  • A mix of professional body paints and accessible drugstore eyeshadows creates the full look
  • A custom-cut black wig completes the Alex Vause character transformation
  • Separate removal guidance is provided by the creator given the extent of full-body paint coverage
  • Demonstrates how illusion body painting can replace a conventional costume entirely
