Footage has emerged from then US of a make-up artist incorporating her hand into an amazing piece of face art.

The video, filmed in Denver, Colorado, shows self-taught face painter Krysti Ellen creating a "duel emotions" look without any assistance.

She later wrote online: "I came up with my version of this concept because I wanted to stand out from the crowd in any small way that I could.

"I enjoy the camouflage aspect of making my hand disappear into my looks and having the reveal of another look underneath creates a more dramatic effect."

I create hand incorporated body paint looks. I came up with my version of this concept because I wanted to stand out from the crowd in any small way that I could.
