About Alex Faction

YouTube makeup master Alex Faction can transform anyone into a glitter god or a ghoulish ghost with a few strokes. His incredible artistry often culminates in perfect recreations of characters like Freddy Krueger, Catwoman, and Pennywise the (frightening) clown from IT. The trained beautician posts tutorials for 210K+ YouTube subscribers, showing them how to make a face completely unrecognizable behind intricately theatrical makeup. 275K+ Instagram fans love seeing the final products, while getting everyday beauty tips to help them look their best. In 2017, the Chicago native moved to Los Angeles, taking to Snapchat to vlog the whole experience. While his hometown will miss him, his skill with special effects makeup is perfect for Tinseltown.
