Wu did her research.

She used theSuva Beauty Six Ten brushto create the tiny, block-like lines.

“I didn’t expect so many people to be inspired by the look,” says Wu.

“I think it’s really awesome to see people do different designs and create their own interpretation.”

Then, using the face paints, she created the pixelated detailing.
