14 Incredible Makeup Looks That Recreate Movie Characters That Left Us In Awe

Margot Nolan

Movie characters can be visually striking. The classy goth look of Morticia Addams, the classic emo Edward Scissorhands, the blue-skinned giants in Avatar, and of course the normal-sized blue-skinned Mystique. Incredibly memorable visual creations.
While some of us can only buy a pre-made Halloween costume to emulate the characters we admire, these people have straight up transformed themselves into their favorite characters. Just with some brushes, mascara, and shadows, and the results are incredible. And it's more incredible that these people did it alone. No Hollywood team and 8 hours sitting stiffly in the makeup chair, just their own hands and their own skills doing the best that they can.
Take a look below to see 14 incredible makeup artists, and trust us when we say that none of it was photoshop!
