Lucia Pittalis, a geek and makeup artist from Italy, is truly a master of disguise. All she needs are a few cosmetic products, tools, and wigs to go from Lucia to Rambo.

Then I put on background music related to that character to be in the mood and I start to watch myself in the mirror.” Continue reading for more pictures.
Lucia also adds, “I give myself enough time to study my new character, being close to his or her image and having time to relax and paint my face. Sometimes it can be weeks and sometimes it’s days, depends on the inspiration.
