Cartoon Characters Face Makeup By Laura Jenkinson

Her paintings include The Cookie Monster, Shrek and Taz the Tasmanian Devil and feature in a series of Instagram images that she has spent the last year uploading. Laura can receive up to 1500 'likes' on popular posts and says that she was inspired by other Instagram accounts.
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."
