Video: how to pull off—or not—365 layers of makeup

There’s always been some debate about how much makeup is too much, and in this video we found, it seems directors Lernert and Sander wanted to push the limits of how much can be pancaked on before a waif model suffers serious skin damage. After nine hours and 365 layers of different kinds of makeup, doesn’t she look, um, amazing? Who doesn’t like looking like their face has melted?

  3. it does say “starring Hannelore Knuts” at the beginning. Apparently it took 9 hours to shoot and she could only eat/drink through a straw.
