Mum's Incredible 'Catfish' Makeup Transformation

A mum of twins has revealed how she transforms her look using makeup artistry, in a viral video that’s been viewed four million times.

The beautiful mum admits the transformation is ‘Catfish Level 1000′, as she switches from makeup free to glam throughout the TikTok clip.

Her makeup videos have attracted hundreds of positive comments, with other women praising ‘Lashes And Losing’ for her candid before and after transformations. “Not a catfish,” commented Courtney, “Just an artist”.

‘False advertising at its finest!’

However, there are plenty of men who have unleashed on the mum of twin girls. “False advertising at its finest. Are we accepting people for who they are not,” one commented. But there were just as many women ready to go into bat for the talented mum.

“If a man cannot tell that women look different with or without makeup, throw the whole man away,” said Serra Elle.

The mum herself addressed the negativity on her YouTube channel. “It’s a lot to put myself out there like this but if it makes anybody else feel better, I’m here for it,” she said. “Let them troll, say whatever they want.”

She also revealed how she lost her front teeth, explaining she uses a ‘flipper’, which is a removable retainer, to give the appearance of teeth.

“I lost my teeth in an accident, nothing crazy, I won’t get into it. I hit on something and they became loose and I had to have them taken out completely. That’s just how it went. They were really ugly before, like embarrassingly so honestly, I was grateful. That sounds crazy but it’s true.”

If you’re keen to give her makeup tricks and tips a go, she shares them all on her TikTok account.

So she’s just using make up. Isn’t that what it’s for? It’s great if it makes her feel good about herself and gives her confidence.

Good for you but I think you also need to put yourself out there offering women (or men) the perfect make-over to make them feel better. You’re certainly a fantastic make-up artist. You get ‘em girl.

That’s an unbelievable transformation. Before reading I was thinking ‘that can’t be real!’

This is crazy how people manage to make themselves look so different make-up. It never works for me like that. I obviously don’t apply enough of it or something.

Wow! I’m clearly doing something wrong because I never look that much different no matter how much make-up I wear.

  I used to wear always make-up, but on a certain moment quit it all together when I was not happy anymore looking to myself without make-up. The whole idea of fake and pretending to look different than you really are, is just not something what I want.

Anyone can tell she’s wearing a ton of makeup, so it’s not exactly false pretenses. She looks good.
