I get called the ultimate catfish – I go from a potato to unbelievably glam in an hour, people refuse to believe it’s me | The Sun

LOOKING good can take a lot of work, with many people spending hours sitting in front of a mirror doing their hair and makeup.

Thanks to the power of makeup, you can completely transform your looks by playing around with foundation, eyeshadow and contour. 



Recently, many people are taking to social media to show off how they get ready, in a new viral trend – ‘Catfish challenge’.

People are revealing how they look without their hair, makeup and stunning outfits, as they show how they completely transform themselves. 

One woman named Mykie, also known on YouTube as ‘Glam&Gore’ took to social media to share her catfish challenge and it’s left people stunned. 

The YouTuber uploaded her catfish makeup tutorial video with the caption ‘1 hour glam transformation *EXTREME CATFISH*’.

Although some may find it insulting to be told they look different with and without makeup, Mykie finds it liberating to alter her appearance with cosmetic products.

She explained: “Makeup is meant to make you look different – otherwise, why would we spend so much money and time on it? 

“But we use it to look different most of the time, to express ourselves.

“I am an extreme case of a makeup transformation and I’m going to show you how I can look in the next hour.”

In Mykie’s video, we start off by seeing her in her natural way – without makeup, messy hair and a baggy t-shirt.

She said: “Yes, I woke up like this, I rolled out of bed like this.”

Mykie then shows off how she transforms her look in just an hour and we are very impressed.

First, she puts her foundation on with a makeup sponge.

Next she transforms her light, short brows with an eyebrow pomade, making a huge difference to her look.

Following this she applies glam eyeshadow – she creates a smokey eye look finished with glitter.

To complete her eyes she adds large fake eyelashes.

She then adds powder and contour to define and set her face and finishes her makeup with lip liner and a gorgeous lip gloss. 

To further elevate the look, Mykie wears a long blonde wig, which she styles straight with two space buns. 

But the look didn’t stop there – she then puts on her glam outfit – a bright pink, long-sleeved jumpsuit. 

Reflecting on her look, she added: “I’m really proud of my transformation, I think it speaks to how much artistic impression goes into this art.

“I like being able to change up my look whenever I want, very easily. 

“I could change up my look and look like an entirely different person.

“Remember, it’s your face, do what you want with it.” 

Mykie’s catfish transformation video has clearly impressed many, as it has racked up a whopping 3,276,230 views 

It has 178,000 likes and 11,310 comments.
