Dutch video artists Lernert and Sander put foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick on Belgian model Hannelore Knuts' face. They did this three-hundred and sixty-five times. The whole thing took nine hours, three lipsticks, seven bottles of foundation, and two bottles each of cream blush and eyeshadow to achieve. (That's 228 mL, or 7.7 fl. oz. of face-spackle altogether.) During this time, Knuts could only eat and drink through a straw during breaks. If you like the weirdly hypnotic quality of this clip, check out the rest of Lernert and Sander's work — I'm particularly taken with this video where they melt a chocolate bunny with an iron, a heat lamp, and a hair dryer.
