Woman Goes Viral For Her Ability To Become Any Character Using Makeup

Alyson Tabbitha has a superpower. No, she can’t fly, disappear or read minds. But she does have an uncanny ability to transform herself into popular characters from movies, TV and books. Tabbitha is a “cosplayer,” aka she dresses up in elaborate costumes with intricate makeup to represent a character.

Once reserved for a specific subculture, cosplay is increasingly mainstream thanks to participants sharing their inventive looks on social media. Tabbitha captured the internet’s attention with her detailed recreations of iconic characters and now has nearly half a million followers on Instagram.

Here are some of her most impressive looks:

And here is Tabbitha channeling Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, which she says she “stopped all other projects to prioritize” after seeing the film because she was so inspired:

If you’re curious as to how Tabbitha transforms herself into such realistic and stunning replicas, she often documents her process on her YouTube channel.

It’s clear that Tabbitha is supremely talented. In addition to her cosplay, she makes art in a variety of mediums and sells her work through her website. Her work includes crystal swords, dragon figurines, decorative boxes, jewelry, and art dolls.

How original are these door knocker earrings?

She also makes statues and prints of her cosplay work and other related items, such as this Goblin King pendant and Edward Scissorhands belt buckle kit.

On her site, Tabbitha explained that her passions and talents just come naturally. She wrote:

“I am a 100% self-taught freelance artist just doing what I love. I’ve been playing with clay & crafting ever since I was a child. As a Gemini it is hard for me to only focus on one thing for long periods of time, so I am exploring & experimenting with new projects!”

Very cool! We can’t wait to see what she does next!
