Face masks are so 2020. From DIY multi-coloured, patterned pieces of fabric to monogrammed Louis Vuitton leather strapped across our faces, all I can say is, “No, thank you.” (Just kidding, everyone keep wearing masks, please). Over the course of the pandemic, it seems like every designer has jumped at the chance to make and sell their own branded bits of PPE - so much so you’d be hard pressed to find a brand that hasn’t. Every store on the high-street seems to sell them, they litter our streets, fill up the bins and, heaven forbid, clog up the drains. We’re all guilty of finding discarded masks around the house; stuffed in back pockets, lost under seat cushions, misplaced in the fridge (true story). They’re forgettable, another accessory that no one really likes but everyone needs. But what if we could make masks fun?
For London-based WENDELLE ALLADO, she’s done just that. Using her masterful skills in make-up artistry, prosthetics and special effects, she’s set the new trend for face masks, moulding a silicone replica of her own mouth, nose and cheeks to create this uncanny facial accessory. You can head to our INSTAGRAM and TIKTOK to see the four-part video tutorial, and take a look just below to download the step-by-step written guide. Have a go yourself, take some pics and share the results with us!
