There’s something weirdly satisfying about not trusting your eyes. Like when sidewalk chalk looks three-dimensional or a cake turns out to be a shoe. Your brain glitches just long enough to make you grin.
Illusion art has always had that effect. And in the hands of makeup artist Mimi Choi, it becomes something completely next level.
Mimi doesn’t just paint faces. She bends perception. One minute her skin looks like it’s splitting open. The next, she’s transformed into a glitched portrait, a melting sculpture, or a surreal collage of eyeballs that somehow still feels elegant.
We’ve featured Mimi’s work on Pleated-Jeans before, but her latest creations keep pushing the limits of what makeup can do.
Her style lives somewhere between fine art, special effects, and optical illusion. It’s weird. It’s beautiful. And you’ll want to stare a little longer just to figure out what’s real.
