3-year-old is a pro at putting on makeup of popular characters
One 3-year-old is putting everyone else’s makeup skills to shame.
Ja’Rell Patton has been posting videos on TikTok of his daughter Dakota putting on makeup to look like various pop culture figures -- including Harley Quinn, Pennywise from "It" and Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The videos of her face painting have gone viral.
In the most recent video posted on May 29, Dakota can be seen following along with a makeup tutorial on a tablet as she puts on face paint to look like the character Venom.
Her father pops in at various stages to document her progress from beginning to end, and it’s a true transformation. What begins as a few simple lines on her face turns into a full-fledged character covering her entire face, neck and collarbone.
When Patton comes in for the last time, Dakota says, "I am Venom."
"I was so shocked to see how good she did," Patton told "Good Morning America. "How detailed it was from the lines to seeing the teeth to how she barely messed up."
Patton said Dakota did the Venom makeup all on her own. When she first started her new hobby earlier this year, however, he and his wife showed her online tutorials of people doing face painting step-by-step.
According to him, Dakota first wanted to paint her face when she saw Heath Ledger’s Joker in "The Dark Knight."
"She loves doing arts and crafts but really fell in love with painting last year," Patton said. "She ran with it -- learning, watching and studying everything she can."
People on social media are also praising the positive affirmations posted on the bathroom mirror, such as "You are special! Don’t forget" "Focus in school" and "Pray everyday!"
Patton put the affirmations up to remind his family to always "pray, focus on school and exceed expectations."
He said, "I just want them to know [that] no matter what I am always going to push them to be great in anything they want to do."
