Make-up artist creates cartoon character portraits using her CHIN!

An inventive make-up artist has started using her chin as a canvas for unique paintings of popular cartoon characters.

Using her own mouth as the teeth and lips of her subjects, stunning Laura Jenkinson, 25, paints around them using theatrical make-up to create the pint-sized portraits.

Uncanny: Laura recreates Princess Fiona from Shrek.

Shrek, Finding Nemo’s Dory and the Genie from Aladdin have all featured in the series of incredible pictures that she has spent a year putting together.

Her pictures have gone viral on facebook and Instagram where her posts regularly receive more than 1500 likes.

Laura gets inventive using a strip of paper to fashion a warthog tooth for the Lion King’s Pumba.

The London based professional make-up artist Laura said she started painting the characters about a year ago.

Laura posed upside down for her recreation of Mr. Potato head.

She said: “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”
