In Pictures: Make-up artist brings iconic cartoon characters to life

Instagram just got a whole lot more magical.

Instagram is not just for selfies and filtered brunch shots, you know - increasingly it's becoming a place for people to showcase their creativity.

Recently, we featured the wonderful Mirrors Me and her inventive bathroom mirror selfies with a twist. And now we have a London-based make-up artist called Laura Jenkinson and her amazing face paint skills.

Laura creates her animated characters by cleverly painting around her own mouth - and it really works.

She nails all the Disney characters from the Genie to Olaf from Frozen but she also takes on Stewie from Family Guy and some of the South Park characters. And, brilliantly, Mr T.

Our favourite is this one of the Tazmanian Devil.
