Nowadays, it is quite easy to pretend that you are someone you're not, what with the growing existence of editors like Photoshop or Pixlr just to fool people or just for the heck of it. There is also the growing popularity of "deepfakes," which are real photos or videos of people plastered with different faces—making it easy for people to fool whoever they want with these fake contents.

Nowadays, people use deepfake technology for their visual effects, and some even plaster fake faces (a celebrity's, for that matter) on some racy videos just to attract some views. Most industries may also use this as part of their digital strategies, in order to fight off extremist groups or interact with certain individuals they are targeting.

Some people, however, don't need the use of technology or deepfakes to plaster a completely different face on themselves. Meet gillianisme, an Asian makeup artist on TikTok that creates the content of transforming herself into different celebrities—and excellently so!

Gillian is living proof that one does not necessarily have to rely on technology to fake their identity; they only need to use a couple of brushes, some contour, and mascara. It's definitely not as easy as it looks though, because looking at her works, she truly got some skill!

She can turn herself into any person or character, and no matter what gender, race, or ethnicity they are, there is always a guarantee that Gillian could transform herself into that person. She has transformed herself to look like Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Wanda Maximoff (her Scarlet Witch transformation, rather), Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Chan, and so many more!

The results are always amazing, and it's truly marvelous to think how far can Gillian's makeup skills and talent go. It's no surprise that her videos have made their way to the top of TikTok's algorithm, and she definitely deserves the millions of likes and views that she gets for her makeup looks!

Just look at some of her best works below.

1. Cate Blanchett

2. Michael Jackson

3. Scarlett Johansson

4. Taylor Swift

5. Audrey Hepburn

6. Edward Scissorhands

7. Billie Eilish

8. Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch

9. Jackie Chan

10. Natalie Portman

11. Anne Hathaway

Putting on a glam look is definitely one thing, but changing the way you look into someone famous takes a lot of massive skill. This girls' works are so impressive you might even think she edited it to make herself look more like them—but no, it's all talent!

12. Audrey Hepburn

13. Eason Chan

14. Andy Lau

15. Stephen Chow

16. Anne Hathaway

17. Jennie Kim

18. Cheon Seo-Jin From Penthouse: War In Life

19. Anita Mui

20. Malena

It's both crazy and amazing to think how Gillian can skillfully transform herself with just her own makeup materials and she is able to make herself so eerily similar to her reference it actually seems creepy to see! This kind of talent, sadly, is somewhat underrated, but good thing that she is able to show it off on her social media because her works are definitely appreciated by her millions of viewers!
