Makeup truly has the power to transform you into anyone you want to be if you’re skilled enough, and no one knows this better than Kelsey Cole. This creative makeup artist is using makeup to give herself show-stopping makeovers, often transforming into our favorite fictional characters.
Cole is a makeup artist based in Boston, Massachusetts, and one of the most impressive things about her makeup art is the fact that she’s completely self-taught. Her Instagram page @cakedbykelsey is now followed by over 30,000 people, and that number is only rising because it’s impossible not to be wowed by her makeup art.
Cole enjoys using makeup to transform into all sorts of fictional characters, mostly focusing on fantasy and horror movies because they usually feature the most amazing makeup looks. She always lists all the products she used in her Instagram captions, for everyone who dares to try recreating her makeup looks on their own.
When she’s not using the power of makeup to transform into famous movie characters, Cole enjoys abstract makeup art. Her makeup looks offer a bold splash of colors and see her experimenting with optical illusions and surreal concepts, crafting makeup looks that are constantly pushing the boundaries of this art form.
