The American model and TV host has used top-quality professional makeup to steal the identities of some fellow fashion superstars.

Tyra Banks is known as one of the fashion world’s more exuberant personalities. With her talk shows, books, movies and TV appearances, the groundbreaking model (she was the first African-American to cover GQ Magazine and Sports Illustrated) just doesn’t want to stop.

Her latest project sees the 39-year-old model impersonating 15 fellow supermodels, using nothing other than careful posing and some very clever makeup. According to Tyra it’s her tribute to “the fiercest supermodels ever. Unretouched. Real. Raw.”

Tyra has tweeted three of the looks, all with the #TYRA15 hashtag, showing off her best impressions of British beauties Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne as well as all-American star Cindy Crawford (and that famous mole).

She explained how she “hid my booty & boobies like a pro” to look like Kate Moss, while to look like Burberry and Fendi campaign star Cara took four hours of hair and make-up. It’s an impressive effort, and all the more amazing that there was no retouching involved. – AFP RELAXNEWS
