What’s that they’re putting on their faces to become like that?” the artist writes on her website. “And my curious self started to follow them.

Bored Panda contacted Anderson to ask more about herself and her creative process. The artist first began being interested in makeup while browsing “For Your Page” (FYP) in TikTok during the pandemic last March of 2020. “I saw makeup artists/sfx and I was shocked and thought I think I can do that! It caught my attention and interest to try,” the artist shared.
Anderson’s favorite transformation is her purple queen. “It’s my first attempt to do my own headpiece. At that time, my highest views were 7 million, and I loved this look because it felt like a fantasy come to life. However, the next day, my eyes and forehead became swollen because of the glue I had used. That day, I learned something from my mistake. Since then, every day has been a learning experience, and anyone can grow and become better.”

We asked the artist what materials, products, or techniques she typically uses to create her makeup transformations. Anderson replied that she always loves using hot glue, whether it’s for the headpiece, the face, or her bra, as well as for creating textures. “Most of the looks I’ve done were made with hot glue. They even called me the ‘hot glue queen.’ It’s amazing what you can create with it! My signature materials, as you can see, are bling and stones; I have a fondness for sparkly things.”
