I Turned The People I Love Into Magical Flower Characters
It’s Candy, Makeup Artist, and I’m excited to share my latest project with you. This time, I’ve swapped dark fantasy for something lighter and more personal: I’ve turned the people closest to me—my mom, boyfriend, and best friends—into living flower characters.
Each transformation was inspired by a specific flower that matched their personality. From sculpting petals by hand to designing and painting intricate makeup, I poured my heart into bringing these characters to life. The process took anywhere from days to weeks for each look, as I carefully crafted the styling to merge the natural beauty of flowers with each model’s unique features.

A fun extra detail was sculpting little bug creatures to match each flower. For example, I created a tiny fly to go with the Venus flytrap, a buzzing bee with the red flower, and a delicate ladybug with my mom’s tulip—a sweet personal touch, as that’s her favorite.

The most special transformation for me was my mom. Seeing her embody this elegant flower queen is a memory I’ll always cherish. The makeup was all about capturing her strength, and it was such a personal moment to have her as part of this series.

While I spend hours perfecting every detail, from the makeup to the handcrafted headpieces, the ultimate goal is to create something magical yet personal. The photos, while important, are just a way to capture the essence of each transformation—what really matters is how each character felt in real life, full of color, texture, and energy.

This series is a love letter to both nature and the people who inspire me every day. I hope these flower characters bring a little magic and creativity to your day, just like they did for me.
