Introducing trompe l'oeil eyes: the 2017 trend that'll have you Insta-scrolling for days on end.
Trompe L'Oeil - for the uninitiated - is about creating perspective bending designs or artwork so realistic it almost fools you, for just a second.
While there are quite a few artists who I've stumbled across on social media practicing this technique, three in particular have stood out for their super impressive work.

Stefania – a 16-year-old artist from London – has replicated paintings of Monet and Vincent Van Gough:
Giulianna Maria – a 19-year-old self-taught make-up artist from America – has snowflakes, fireworks, curly liners, veins and a spider web cut crease:
Tal Peleg – an Israeli make-up artist and blogger – has Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Frozen's Elsa:
So much perfection.
