It is remarkable what cosmetics allow one to do and as Israeli artist Ilana showcases with her husky makeup transformation, you can turn yourself into anything using color. In this tutorial, Ilana transforms herself to look like her Siberian husky dog and the end result is so unbelievably accurate, you'll have a hard time believing she isn't a husky herself.
The transformation process begins by Ilana mapping out her face to mark where the different fur transitions occur on a husky's visage. Then Ilana uses a mix of white, cream and brown foundations to recreate the texture of fur and mask her skin completely. The next step is creating the trademark blue husky eyes which Ilana paints overtop of her eyelids so that the eyes cover more surface area on her face followed by a wagging tongue, careful shading and an added nose. The end transformation is incredibly detailed and stunning to look at.
