Cartoon Characters Face Makeup By Laura Jenkinson

Although she uses professional tools she occasionally turns to traditional make-up to create her portraits:
"I'd seen loads of other fantastic make-up artists on Instagram and I wanted to do something similar and on a bigger scale so I started doing about one a week. I use theatrical make-up normally, but I occasionally use lipstick if I need to get the exact shade of something. I find a picture and then just hold it up to the mirror as a guide and draw straight onto my face - it's easier than you think! Ironically, drawing onto someone else is more difficult - I think it's more straightforward drawing onto my own face. People always say it makes them really happy and it's nice to bring a bit of joy."
