At first glance, you may think that this collection of photographs is photoshopped. If you take a closer look, though, you will realise that it is just the impressive work of extremely talented makeup artists!

As Halloween is really close, take a moment to see these people that instead of putting on a costume chose to transform their faces with the help of makeup and its illusive power . In these 31 amazing photographs the face is the canvas, the makeup applicator the paintbrush and the cosmetics the paint, making it possible for anybody to be anything they want: from a pop-art piece or an animal to Freddie Mercury and Queen Elizabeth II !

A truly imaginative collection! Enjoy:
