A makeup artist from the West Midlands magically transforms herself into famous cartoon characters using body paint. From The Lion King's Simba to Disney’s Donald Duck, Claire Bryant of Yardley, Birmingham, uses clever shading techniques to morph into 15 different characters. Claire, a sales assistant, first began experimenting with body paint in 2014, after watching a Donald Duck TV sketch. The talented 28-year-old, says: “I’ve always had a passion for makeup and I’ve loved Disney since I was a child. 'Donald Duck has always been one of my favourite characters, so I decided to see if I could paint my face to look like him- and I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
