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.
