โElf On The Shelfโ is a Christmas tradition that is loved and loathed in equal amounts by parents - but one woman has more reason than most to find it โcreepyโ as it has turned its mishchevious attention to her face.
For those who donโt know, the idea of โElf On The Shelfโ is that a visiting elf appears around the house in a new position every morning to deligth kids in the lead up to Christmas.
Well, British makeup artist Zoe Pratt had other ideas for the cheeky imp and has been creating various makeup looks that incorporate the troublesome elf.
โI wanted to bring the elf into play with the Christmas looks because itโs become quite an iconic part of a lot of peopleโs Christmas regime,โ Pratt told HuffPost UK.
โI do find them kind of creepy and as creepy makeup is my forte, it made sense to incorporate them into my looks!โ
The response has been viral with over 2, 200 likes on her first post of the tradition she has renamed โElf On The Selfโ.
โI had no idea the looks would reach such a large audience at the time,โ she said.
Pratt relishes getting creative and producing jaw-dropping looks.
โMy objective with the makeup and face paint is to make people laugh or to make them wince,โ she said.
โTo inspire or open the creative mind to others is something Iโm very passionate about,โ added Pratt.
โAnd to relate that to an iconic feature such as the Elf On The Shelf seemed a good way of doing so.โ
