Crazy Skilled Makeup Artist Transforms Herself Into Rocky and Other Famous Figures
Italian makeup artist Lucia Pittalis is giving drag queens a run for their money, proving that anything is possible with few brushes and some expert contouring. Just check out her Instagram account, where she shares photos of herself transformed into famous figures by the power of makeup. A lot of makeup. I mean, this woman must clear the aisles at CVS to be able to turn herself into some of these people. (Look at her Keith Richards!)
Among the other celebs she’s taken on is one very close to our hearts, fictional Philly boxing champ Rocky Balboa. She goes for the young Rocky here, and a moment when he just came out of the ring, with a jacked-up eye, a little blood on his lip and a bandage around his paws. Check him out below, and a few other notables. See more on her Instagram account here.

Her step-by-step Stallone character transformation. Also gives you a peek at what Pittalis looks like before the makeup goes on—nothing like Sly.
She doesn’t stop at Stallone. Looks, she nailed Queen Elizabeth, too!

Keith Richards. It’s hard to believe all those folds are created with shadows. Makeup is amazing!
A little Angela Lansbury à la Murder She Wrote. She’s really gets into character here.
