A talented young Nigerian lady, identified as @modelheleana on TikTok, has amazed and amused social media users with her attempt to transform herself into Grammy award-winning singer Tems using intricate face paint and makeup techniques.
As a passionate content creator and makeup artist, she shared her admiration for Tems and embarked on the transformation challenge, hoping to recreate the singer’s unique look. However, according to her, her initial attempt did not turn out as she had envisioned, leading her to try again in hopes of achieving a more refined resemblance.
Despite putting in more effort for her second attempt, reactions from viewers remained mixed. Many social media users found the transformation entertaining and applauded her creativity, while others pointed out areas where she could improve to achieve a more striking resemblance.
In a lighthearted manner, the makeup artist acknowledged the difficulty of the transformation in the caption of her post, humorously writing: “Tems in the making, part 2, you all. I don sell my shame 😅.”
Since the video was shared, it has garnered significant attention, sparking a flurry of reactions from TikTok users and beyond. While some appreciated her dedication and effort, others offered constructive criticism on how she could enhance her skills for future attempts.
One social media user, YT: Luvbeexo 💕, gave her some professional makeup advice, commenting: “Use a dark brown eyebrow pencil NOT black and make the brows thinner with a lower arch. Find a powder with warm undertones, the one you used is too cool-toned. Otherwise, makeup isn’t bad🥰.”
Another TikTok user, Idoma_Baddieeeee, reacted with amusement but also praised her effort, writing: “JESU CRISTI… you tried sha 💗 honestly, it’s not horrible 😭.”
Her post continues to generate buzz, as netizens debate the accuracy of her transformation and appreciate her sense of humor and creativity.
