From boob contouring to unicorn eyebrows, beauty bloggers have been responsible for promoting some weird and wonderful trends. 

But the latest beauty craze to sweep Instagram is rather hard to spot as you might not initially realise what you're looking at. 

At first glance, you might think you're viewing a photo of immaculately applied eyeshadow and heavily mascaraed lashes. 

But a close look reveals that cosmetic gurus have in fact been making up their thighs, complete with contouring and false lashes.

Can you tell what's wrong with this picture? It might look like a beautifully made up eye, but this close up is not of a face 

It's only when you zoom out that you realise that this is not an eye but a clever drawing on the thigh

Skilled make-up gurus leave out no detail, from drawing on eyebrows, to lining the socket and adding incredibly realistic eyelashes. 

Some have even taken things further by creating a full face, complete with a nose, rouged cheeks and lips.

Meanwhile, Beatbylanah revealed her thigh make up in a video and even managed to draw on an incredibly realistic open eye. 

Some drawn on lashes look so realistic you would never guess they've been sketched on to someone's thigh

Is it an eye, or is it a thigh? Amazingly realistic make-up confuses the eye
