- Makeup artist Promise Tamang calls herself a "human chameleon" and uses makeup to transform into virtually any celebrity or character.
- She decided to alter her appearance with makeup to try to fool the iPhone X's Face ID.
- Face ID is a popular new feature of Apple's iPhone X, which allows users to unlock their phone by simply holding it up to their face.
- Tamang started by penciling in higher eyebrows and giving herself a dramatic eye look — neither of which fooled the facial detection software.
- She then created the illusion of smaller lips and applied some contouring — and the phone still opened.
- She stepped it up a notch by wearing fake contacts and a wig.
- Even though she looked like "Kylie Jenner plus Mariah Carey," the phone still recognized her.
- Tamang then used prosthetic makeup to extend her nose and chin — which finally tricked the Face ID.
- Watch her full experiment below.
