If you don’t see makeup as an art form, it’s only because you still haven’t met RJ Tulloch. She’s a talented makeup artist and illusionist behind Cakeface RJ, whose show-stopping makeup transformation would put Picasso to shame.
Romanie-Jade Tulloch has been in the beauty industry for years, and her social media content really took off when she started working on her signature makeup illusions. It can take anywhere between five and 15 hours in the makeup chair to pull them off, but the final results are always mind-blowing.
Tulloch is a huge believer that makeup is more versatile than most people think because you don’t necessarily have to use makeup to look or feel pretty. Her transformations are a case in point, and positive reactions by hundreds of thousands of followers have inspired her to keep going.
One of the most impressive things about her makeup illusions is that you don’t need any specialized products to pull them off. She uses products from regular beauty brands and usually lists them in her photos and videos.
“I feel like the makeup products I use for my illusions are kind of my unique selling point. Rather than opting for stage makeup or face and body paint, I use the eyeshadows, concealers, eyeliners, and powders that I wear for my usual day-to-day makeup,” she told Space NK.
