Amazing JIRO is a Tokyo-based makeup artist with over 16 years of experience under his belt. The man specializes in special effects (SFX) makeup as well as body painting, and has worked on movies like Attack on Titan, Shin Godzilla, and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter. His works are nothing short of amazing (hence the name) and I’m pretty sure they will blow you away.

In a recent interview with Bored Panda, the artist said he has been drawing since he was a child and was always good at it. After graduating high school, Jiro decided to attend an art university, and it was there that he realized that he wanted to “make anything without being tied up with specific materials”. At that point, the artist started to get interested in the materials and production of SFX makeup. “I like to create things realistically, so I thought if I learn special effects makeup where they create human skin like its real, I would be able to pursue realistic expressions,” said the artist.

With his art, Jiro wants to expand the makeup world by getting rid of the borders between SFX makeup, bodypainting, and beauty makeup.

“Nowadays, you can see many different kinds of expressions on social media from all over the world. I usually check out photos and videos on social media and imagine, “If I were to create this, I would do this and that,”” said Jiro. “I think the accumulation of that leads to new ideas.”
