Now this is something you don’t see every day! Body painting with soul… err, I meant sole! Temptu, a company which concentrates on airbrush makeup and cosmetic innovations, painted some smelly feet for the NY Magazine. When New York Magazine needed to recreate the appearance of shoes on actual feet, using just makeup, they contacted Temptu. Body paint artists, John Maurad and Jenai Chin created the results you see below for the article titled “You Walk Wrong”. Their work includes a traditional wing tip for men, a pair of Christian Louboutin heels, and an old-school Adidas Gazelle shoe. Adidas one is so incredibly rendered on the bare foot, it’s hard to believe it’s not even real! The only problem with these, is that I can’t decide whether to choose the slip one, or Adidas one as my favorite. So I think I’ll go with both (but they still aren’t even close to the sexy shoe we covered last month)!

omg i was like “why is there a pic of a shoe on illusion of the day?” then i looked at the toes and i was like “omg those are painted on!” ;)
That looks awesome.
lol hilarious!!!!!!!
am i the first comment???
the heel one is kinda creepy
first
the only convincing one is the high-heeled one.
Very Nice
I really want that last shoe! It’s so beautiful… Pity it’s painted. Well never mind, very nice and believable.
Looks real.
This is really cool actually! Too bad people have toes.. It would have been even more real without! :)
that must have tickled so much!
The heel one is the one look closely and you will see the foot…
That high heeled shoe must’ve tickled!
kinda cool… but for some reason these kinda gross me out! :S
the last one is the coolest! until i read the description i totally thought that some 1 made these shoes and tat they werent painted on! THERE AWSM!!
ewwwww.. i hate feet!!!! yuky!!
That first one should have shaved first. Revolting.
(retches)
So cool. I love the painted bodies/hands/feet illusions.
Wth? Thats creepy
omg i love these!!! especially the heel!!!
i agree: too bad people have toes! and foot hair. on the 1st one, u could see how he has hair on it. weird.
but i love these!! awesome….
lol look at da first one u can see hair LOL
Does anyone else wonder how long it takes to get all that paint off?!
This is like awesome and scary at the same time.
I’m not sure how i feel about this actually.
Incredible pieces of work!
If you cover up the toes, the rest hardly seem like they’re painted on. Wow!
cool shoes ^^
That is totally crazy! I don;t know how the artist gets it looking so real…
the brown shoe’s foot hair looks dirty
if you look close, you can see hair on the wingtip foot. lol I’d like to see the last one from the side, It looks like a real heel but a painted ‘shoe’
i think they are pretty cool
really cool, the heel one was the neatest.
cool
awesome
=)
These look realllyyy cool !! The laces on the second shoe look real.
I like the first one the best!
Cheers
The last is the most convincing ‘cos you can’t see the toes
I loove the high heel one! its the most convincing!
ok 1 one:You can guess it is painted becase of the dirty,gross,yucky foot hair. But still every body does have foot hair,right.OK i know you guys and girls can not stand it sometimes,but at least it is not scary or something like that right.2,ok it is really cool for some people who love painted things, and for some people who like soccer.but what if you where that painter.Would you like it then.feel how good it must be to have that money,but still.what if you messed up.you would not be happy . people like not messed-up things. ok 3 ,really really REALLY cool i must admit.but still,why do you want you foot painted.you would mess up your clothes shoes socks, etc. and who knows how long it would take to wash off. nobody knows . but i still admit,3 is he coolest!
Wa?
An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.
this is the only solution for those who want to wear shoes but they dont have…just kidding….nice art…:-D
the laces on the second one look so real!!!
LOL!!!!!
nice pics here and interesting too.
the first shoe had hair on it… heehhehe.. loved the third one… =D
WOAH!! and ya that ewwwy foot hair. nassssty!

░▒▓AWSOME▓▒░
have i mentioned how sexy the last one is?? i love it
very creative, and artistic
I dont know why people have so much trouble understanding that it is the artists’ expression …the hair is not important, the toes are there because it’s a painted foot…use some common sense if u’r gonna criticize someones’ work…u only make your selves look ignorant..
coooool i wonder if people do this and just walk outside with no shoes on lol that would be cool :)
Nice work of arts, i like all those three, just don’t look at the toes..
The last one is soo realistic
@ YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT
you should listen to ur name cause what u said didn’t really make sense
OMG once I saw pics of painted-on clothes! I was like WTF that doesn’t look painted on!!! Lol, but it’s easier to fake clothes than to fake shoes… On shoes, the toes kinda stand out if they’re just painted… XD But not if you’re doing sandals! They could pull it off then…how come there’re no pics of that??
nice paint….
HI INCREDIBLE PHOTOS..FUNYYY
good world
these are pretty awesome!
i want one of those
OMG thts sooo cool i love the heels
The stillettos must have taken a LOT of tiptoeing (or standing up whichever)
It’s easy to tell because of the wrinkles in their feet… :3
Simply mindblowing.I fooled many of my friends by showing these pics.No one was able to tell the difference.
all i can say is ew
holy fuck how did the heel get there
Niiiiiiiiiiiice :D
Its amazing …..its natural god given art.
