Makeup Artist's 9-Hour Disney Villain Transformation Captivates Millions

In the lead-up to Halloween 2025, makeup artist Katie Farhood has been hard at work creating her most impressive costume transformations yet. Last month, Farhood spent 9 hours meticulously transforming her face into an uncanny replica of the Disney villain Mother Gothel from Tangled, complete with custom props and prosthetics.

This is just one of the many elaborate Halloween looks Farhood has shared with her millions of social media followers in recent weeks. A self-proclaimed Halloween enthusiast since childhood, Farhood has built a massive online following by showcasing her knack for special effects makeup and niche costume ideas. From classic Hollywood glamour to a dark twist on Alice in Wonderland, her intricate transformations have captivated audiences across platforms.

Farhood's journey to becoming a full-time makeup artist and social media star is an inspiring one. What started as a personal passion and hobby eventually led to a viral TikTok video in 2020, prompting her to pursue her craft professionally. Now, Farhood spends the entire month of October focused on creating her Halloween content, often working around the clock to bring her visions to life.

As the spooky season comes to a close, Farhood plans to celebrate Halloween this weekend by dressing up as the Other Mother and Father from the animated film Coraline. And with her 2025 Halloween content already in the can, she's already looking ahead to next year, determined to continue captivating her audience with her unparalleled makeup artistry and creativity.
