Reddit's Top Beauty Looks of All Time Are Not What You'd Expect

This Redditor took a cue from paint chips, using Kryolan Cream Foundations and an NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk to craft a full face of foundation shades. The result looks like a painting, which had people in the comments going crazy.

Colors from seven different palettes were used to create the pretty pigments on Samantha's lids. Paired with a soft lip and seamless skin, this look is as wearable as it is eye-catching.

Is it a heart? Something from the sea? No one's too sure, but everyone in the comments can agree that this 3D-printed brush stand is both an interesting and fairly genius gift. Can you say conversation piece?

Do you know someone who takes things a little too literally? This is that — in an incredibly good way. Bryanna used all Too Faced products for this look, including the Cocoa Contour Kit, Brow Envy Kit, Born This Way Concealer, Christmas in New York Palette, Perfect Eyes Eyeliner, Better Than Sex Mascara, and Melted Lipstick (whew!).

At one point we've all wondered what we'd look like if we were the opposite sex. Open to playing it up, one Redditor's brother had her bring the answer to life (somewhat). False eyelashes, a touch of makeup, and hair extensions added touches of femininity, making the before-and-after almost unbelievable.

"Nothing too harsh. Not too thin . . . TIMELESS." Reddit user sammisamantha described to a T. We've already raved about this grandmother's gorgeous arches, proving you can have great eyebrows at any age — just in case you thought otherwise.

Look closely and you'll see this makeup artist's cat eye in a new light. There, perched along her eyelid, are actual, precious cats. The OP described using Kat Von D and L'Oréal eyeliners, applied with a thin paintbrush. Those of us who can't perfect a simple wing are in awe.

Reddit user likecharity posted this alien-mermaid-inspired costume makeup just before mermaid makeup got big, and we can't help thinking it had something to do with it. From the detailed scales to the use of gold leafing, this is pure magic.

First, a thank you is in order for this woman's service. A number of things are inspiring about this post. Sparkling lids, subtle contour, and lengthy lashes make for the perfect no-makeup makeup look on the job.

Currently holding the top spot on /r/MakeupAddiction is one daughter's endearing makeup application on not herself, but her mother. Just the day before she had posted a similar comparison and, after receiving some tips and tricks, decided to take a second attempt. Suffice to say, it gained a lot of positive feedback.
