23-year-old Laura Pennington is a medical student from Cocoa Beach, Florida, who didn’t let her studies get between her and her passion for makeup and body transformations.
Since she started taking her hobby seriously, she has spent hundreds of hours on her makeovers and came up with over 350 designs using nothing but makeup.
While basic designs only take her from half an hour to one hour to complete, more complex ones may take up to 10 hours to be perfected.
Throughout the years, Laura has become everything and everyone from Super Mario to the Lord of the Rings to Jason from Friday 13th.
“While I’m working on the art it never feels like I’m sitting there for six hours at all. For me it’s just a way to escape, it’s something fun to get my mind off work and school,” she admitted.
“A full face of make-up can take 45 minutes, then for face and body painting the quickest was an hour and my longest one was eight-and-a-half hours.
“I tend to gravitate towards more of the nerdy side, like video games, movies and pop culture. I try to blend my interests in, once in a while I make more girly things and always try to make it glamorous too.
“My favorite has to be the Lord of the Rings, which was quicker but came out so well, then I also love my Spiro the Dragon one too.
“I have done everything from Disney inspired work to Jason from Friday 13th, a horror big gash on my gash on my face, Halo, Super Mario, and another fandom.”
As the 23-year-old added, it’s always hard to say goodbye to her designs and wash them off.
“I will always have the pictures but it stinks having to wash it off, at times I will sit and look in the mirror making poses before taking it off,” she added.
“Weirdly I can paint better on myself than any piece of paper or canvas, I don’t know why, I guess it’s just the way I am, it’s weird.
“Most of my friends and co-workers are pretty impressed, they usually say ‘wow’ and then show their friends. I have mainly received support, I’ve never had anyone say ‘You’re ugly’ or anything like that, people sometimes criticize aspects of the look.”
