Animé
Yes, it's possible to turn yourself into a doe-eyed cartoon character, as Iwanted2c1video proves. Uncanny valley, anyone?

Goldiestarling painted on an intricate "skeleton key." Much more comfortable than a sweaty mask.
Watercolor Wonder
Facepaint can turn you into a walking impressionist painting. Love the stylized, paintbrush eyebrows, JordanHanz.
