How Ezra Miller got his Met Gala look: Mimi Choi and 5 other make-up artists changing faces
Mimi Choi is among a handful of incredible make-up artists around the world who specialise in the surreal and fantastical
Actor Ezra Miller gave us camp extravaganza at the Met Gala this week, thanks to make-up artist Mimi Choi and her optical illusion of multiple eyes on the actor’s face. It was a welcome sight to see the talents of an illusion artist on such a high-profile red carpet.
Choi is among a handful of incredible artists who specialise in the surreal and fantastical. Here’s our list of surreal make-up artists.
1. Mimi Choi
The Vancouver-based professional make-up artist is renowned for her optical illusion make-up looks. She takes inspiration from the paintings of Salvador Dali and M.C. Escher, and has collaborated with Make Up For Ever, MAC, Kryolan, Unicef and Samsung to bring her vision forward.
Her struggles with sleep paralysis have inspired frightening visions that she uses in her make-up art.
