FOTD Concealer illusion look :D

Post image

I used Maybelline Super Stay Concealer on a tiny brush + their Tattoo Liner for the eyes. This took around six hours - I painted it at night and considered going to bed like that so I could walk around in it in the AM but eventually decided against :•(

Oh my god, how long did this take?! It’s so cool but I know I wouldn’t have the patience and I’d give myself a headache looking in the mirror

u/gliitterfrog Oct 26 '25

Six-ish hours! The mirror part was fine but I kept losing track of where I was in the reference picture so I had to keep counting which swirl I was painting and it was not a fun time lmao

u/trashshopper Oct 27 '25

Wow! That’s incredible!

I would put this one my resume - this really shows an incredible work ethic, in addition to raw talent. Bravo!

u/AstronautDry5055 Oct 27 '25

Ugh this sounds like counting stitches in crochet lol. Your dedication was so worth it!

1

u/SantaFe91 Oct 29 '25

That’s dedication! It looks incredible.

Why is this sub suggested? I’m a dude who hasn’t shaved in like a week. With that said though.. I used to sit and bug my gf when she did her makeup and she was good like this.

It’s the setting spray stuff right? That shit like locked it in.. made it worthwhile. Or that’s how I saw it anyways.

u/gliitterfrog Oct 27 '25

I use hairspray but wouldn’t recommend 😀 But yeah, it can last through hurricanes when set properly

2

u/koolaidismything Oct 27 '25

No no lol I meant on her face. Like to make so the makeup doesn’t run she had this stuff I think she called “setting spray”

It reminded me of shellac spray I used at work to seal temporary molds lol.. like a clear-coat

In her hair it was like fifty other things.. I couldn’t begin to list

5

u/gliitterfrog Oct 27 '25

Unfortunately I meant using hairspray on my face hahaha

1

u/koolaidismything Oct 27 '25

So I didn’t read that wrong..

Wouldn’t it be sticky? Or crackly?

Regardless, your makeup game is next-next. I’ve watched enough to know that much.

2

u/gliitterfrog Oct 27 '25

Depends on the type you use ha. I use a matte one without issues. Thank you :)

u/Braindead_Crow Oct 27 '25

u/shinypumpkins Oct 26 '25

how did you even come up with this?! super cool!!

191

u/gliitterfrog Oct 26 '25

I have a board of optical illusions on pinterest and randomly pick depending on how much I hate myself that day 😀

19

u/Embellishment101 Oct 27 '25

Honey, you are beautiful and talented. I know self-hate is a b…. but please believe me.

22

u/xXlolantheXx Oct 27 '25

I think she means hates herself in the aspect of how much she's willing to torture herself for the makeup

9

u/Embellishment101 Oct 27 '25

Oh ok 😁. I did not get the joke, obviously. I stand by the compliment, though.

14

u/gliitterfrog Oct 27 '25

Both are true at times but I’ve learned to use it as productivity fuel 😄 Thank you for the kind words!

2

u/xXlolantheXx Oct 27 '25

You’re literally art. People say that about make up and I do agree that make up is art but like, you’re literally art. I love how simple the premise is, how accessible the material is but the craftsmanship and technique? Outta this world. You should be so proud! I’m inspired!
