It's no secret that the beauty world has become maniacal about all things majestic and our inner-7-year-old selves have been secretly loving it–until now.
Stage makeup artist Channing Carlisle has sent Twitter into a tizzy with a mermaid-inspired look that's, uh, graphic to say the least. In the image, Carlisle's leg is literally bursting open with iridescent scales in three different spots–each legion surrounded by jagged skin, bruises, and dry blood.
Got bored last night and turned myself into a mermaid. I'd rather be swimming with the fishes anyway 🐬🐟💖🌊🐠 pic.twitter.com/rfaZN6ffAuMay 18, 2017
If you are appalled, just know that that's actually the point of Carlisle's gory stage makeup work. In fact, there's A LOT more where that came from. If your stomach can take it, see below for more of the MUA's gut-wrenching looks.
