Carved Makeup Tutorial (3D Makeup Tutorial)

This tutorial by Madeyewlook recreates the illusion of deeply carved wood on the skin using body-safe paints and clever shading — no prosthetics required. The look is inspired by a trompe l'oeil graffiti body-paint piece by Russian artist Znag, not an actual tattoo as it is sometimes mistaken for. The creator walks through how to build convincing depth and shadow using a small selection of face and body paints. At just five minutes, the tutorial is fast-paced but packed with visual technique.

Painting my Christmas Sweater On/Hot Chocolate Makeup Tutorial!

Madeyewlook's Alexys Fleming delivers a whimsical holiday body-painting tutorial that transforms her chest and neckline into a trompe l'oeil Christmas sweater complete with a steaming mug of hot chocolate. The look blends conventional cosmetics — eyeshadow palettes, blush, and eyeliner — with Graftobian Pro Paint to achieve the illusion. At just five minutes, the video is a fast-paced showcase of technique rather than an exhaustive step-by-step guide. The festive result sits at the intersection of special-effects artistry and holiday glam.
