The Real life Lichtenstein-Comic-Girl

I know very little about this make up session, other than it was done by M.A.C.. It is pretty impressive to see the blonde girl from Lichtenstein’s painting in real life.
Update (Feb. 13th, 2010):Â This was done for a Halloween make-up session by M.A.C artist Karin Stone, in Chicago, IL. Information provided by viewer sjstone at BoingBoing.
Make-up art based from paintings by Roy Lichtenstein:

Hey Amazing pa… i love it it’s very beautiful to me
Love the trouble you went to and the result of this comic girl. I used to be a graphic artist for a famous publisher of comic books !
Love
Tim
Lichtenstein stole that idea from a comic book published 5 years before he made his artwork. The comic book he stole it from was in production during the late 1940’s through to the mid-1950’s.
wow, what big earings she has…
nice!!
Beautiful makeup!
@3: Lichtenstein stole this like Andy Warhol stole the Campbell’s soup can. That’s pop art, my friend.
Hey ben, no art is created in a vacuum. Of course everything is “stolen”. Lichtenstein made it popular and that is why his name is on it.
There’s no such thing as a “Lichtenstein-Comic-Girl.” That would imply Lichtenstein had originality.
Here is a set of step-by-step instructions to recreate the Lichtenstein look. It also credits the MAC artist who created it, Karin Stone in Chicago, IL.

No one is referring to “originality,” however, the artist is known for his comic art paintings and that is relevant in the news post. Thanks for your comment.
You mean he appropriated the images from comic books made in the 40’s and 50’s. Lichtenstein never claimed that they were original drawings of his, but rather he borrowed images from “low-brow” art and turned it into “high-brow” art. Much like Warhol’s soup can prints, Lichtenstein’s work was based on the premise that the division between low and high art was largely pointless.

Makeup artist Jennifer Corona’s version is pretty well known.

I saw a Lichtenstein-Comic Girl (7 hours of work) this past Halloween on the L-train in Brooklyn. She was perfect! http://ylphoto.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/marked/
I love this post, but the lack of direct links is annoying. Where are your sources? Neither of your links to MAC or Geekologie are direct links. Please update.
Thanks for the comments. There has been an update.
Oh my good, she is looking very nice.
Awesome, thanks for updating
I always wondered at some of the things that are considered to be “high brow,” and I for one never understood the appeal of a smuck like Warhol. Lichtenstein was at the very least a competent cartoonist and probably a very good one.
But… high end art?
It shows where Lady Gaga got her current look from…
