This London-based makeup artist created a winning look by recreating the FIFA World Cup trophy with her face and hands.

Emma Allen, from Brixton, London, has been creating inspiring makeup looks for the past ten years working with different materials. This time, she wanted to join in on the world cup fever sweeping the globe.

Painting her hands and face with gold paint, she posed in a likeness of the coveted FIFA World Cup trophy.

The image had a huge response but I posted the ‘making of’ video a bit later. Many people had asked me how I had done it and some didn’t believe the final image was really me. I think the whole painting part took a couple of hours and then a little longer to get the perfect picture showing the end result.
