Meet the Makeup Artist Who Swatches Mini Carbon Copies of Palettes on Her Hand

If you're at all into beauty — and I'll assume you are since you clicked on this — then you know that makeup and swatches go hand-in-hand (pun 100 percent intended.)

It's true though; on any given day, I and my fellow Allure editors can be found with multiple different makeup products lining our limbs in the form of colorful haphazard lines and scribbles. They're by no means "art," but they're beautiful to me nonetheless.

One makeup mastermind, though, has taken her swatch game to a whole new mind-blowing level by using shadow from her favorite palettes to draw miniature designs of the actual palettes themselves. In other words, instead of aimlessly swiping different shades here and there, Toronto-based makeup artist Menal Khan, who spoke to Refinery29 about her craft, creates legit carbon copies of palettes like Huda Beauty's Rose Gold Palette, Urban Decay's Moon Dust Palette, and NYX Cosmetics The Smokey Shadow Palette, to name just a few.

She's even made a point to do larger palettes like Morphe's 35W, which features a whopping 35 shades, proving she's more than willing to go above and beyond for her artistry. "Being an artist since birth, and someone who had just discovered a newfound love for makeup a year beforehand, I knew makeup was the medium I wanted to use to create my art," Khan told Refinery29, adding that it's a very humbling feeling when she sees her finished product come to life and earn so much love for it.

Our measly swatches may never compare, but check out her mesmerizing (and no doubt painstaking) work, below, anyway, because there's no way it won't inspire.
