Why Everyone’s Talking about Annie Thomas’ Body Art

Annie Thomas, who posts under the username @creative.cliche, currently has 1.3 million followers on TikTok and nearly 300,000 on Instagram. Why? She’s insanely talented in transforming herself into a cartoon and other characters using nothing but makeup.

Thomas shares videos of her using makeup to turn herself into various cartoon characters. Each transformation is more amazing than the one before it and seeing them on video doesn’t help us understand how something like this is even possible. So far, she’s covered many of our favorite characters, including Hector from Coco, Dobby from Harry Potter, Sponge Bob, and many others.

Her online fame started after one of her cosplay videos went viral. “I originally started my Instagram to practice special effects makeup [after] being inspired by FaceOff on SYFY, but I randomly decided to do a cosplay of the character Cynthia from Rugrats,” she tells Allure. “That post tripled my following at the time, so I switched my focus to mainly cartoons and cosplays.”
