Tiffany Hunt, a part-time shop worker, would use her mum’s eyeliner and lipstick as a child to turn herself into monsters to scare her friends.
The 23-year-old from Nottingham then developed an interest in using makeup to transform her body into bizarre and scary creations.
Some of the looks she’s made include a rainbow unicorn, a terrifying Halloween corpse, a butterfly, animations, and many more.
Tiffany now has more than 400,000 followers on Instagram and hopes to make her hobby a full-time job.
But to create all those masks, Tiffany needs a lot of different kinds of makeup which require a lot of space.
So she has to sacrifice her clothes and belongings to accommodate all the cosmetics.
‘I have always been artistic and loved drawing. The makeup started as a by-product of that when I was at secondary school,’ she said.
‘I just used my face as a canvas and started using different products and techniques.
‘I had to sacrifice my clothes and get rid of my wardrobe in my room to make way for all the drawers to store all of my makeup.
‘I just love spending an hour or so doing something and it gives me more confidence – you feel different in a way like a whole new person.’
In 2018, Tiffany reached the top five of the NYX face awards which celebrates makeup artists’ creativity and expression.
Tiffany does makeup for clients when she is not working at John Lewis and they book in to be transformed by her paintbrushes and glitter.
She charges up to £60 an hour depending on body paint and sketches out her designs before creating the finished product.
‘I never really started my Instagram with the intention of growing it to the size it is now – it is so crazy and overwhelming,’ added Tiffany.
‘A lot of people are now turning to YouTube to learn because you are learning from different people and it is so expensive to learn makeup at university.
‘I am completely self-taught and encourage people to learn from people online.
‘I would love to work on movies and to travel and do something different every day.’
