We’ve seen some amazing makeup artists in our time, many of who shared their work on Instagram and TikTok. But one particular makeup artist from Germany is currently blowing us all away. Meet Khaleesiisaa, who brings wild versions of pop culture favorites to life. She does makeup recreations for characters from all across the pop culture spectrum, from Disney to Marvel to the actual mythological gods. Here are some of our favorite examples of her work.

The holidays may be behind us, but Gremlins is a holiday movie you can love and watch year-round. Khaleesiisaa gives us not only the adorable Mogwai Gizmo, but also the mischievous lady gremlin. Maybe she shouldn’t have had any snacks after midnight.
