Artists recreate Doja Cat's look that triggered a trypophobia outbreak
**Warning: If it wasn't clear enough already, if you have trypophobia, you should probably turn away now.**
People are flooding to social media in awe over an artist duo's 'iconic' recreation of Doja Cat's Paris Fashion Week makeup.
Drag performers and comedy duo Monét X Change (Miss Congeniality of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 10 and winner of AS4) and Bob The Drag Queen (winner of season eight of RuPaul’s Drag Race) - who make up YouTube channel Sibling Rivalry - decided to take on Doja Cat's 'iconic crystal stoned Schiaparelli look' which the rapper donned in January earlier this year.
While the 'Say So' singer ended up triggering many tryphophobes out there - people who have a fear of closely packed holes - Bob and Monét's recreation has received widespread praise online.

In the YouTube video, Bob explains the duo are going to use the new Pretty/Funny Palette from BOMO Beauty to recreate the look.
However, the drag queens explain they're going to mix it up a bit and use a blue colour palette opposed to Doja Cat's original red.
With Monét chosen by a wheel spin to undergo the transformation, the pair get to it.
"Today you are really showing up and showing out," Bob says.
Several thousands of gems later - Doja Cat had a whopping 30,000 Swarovski crystals hand-applied to her face - and Monét transforms into a look that some social media users have resolved is giving 'camp Avatar' vibes.
"Taking it off is going to be crazy," Monet adds, with Bob noting it's going to be 'horrible'.
However, the time and effort definitely seems worth it given the reaction of Sibling Rivalry's followers.
Flooding to the YouTube video, followers of the duo couldn't get enough of the look despite its possible phobia-inducing appearance.
One user said: "Okay but Monet looks so f**king good."
"Y'all put Monet through it but this look is INCREDIBLE," another wrote.
A third commented: "This was such a serve. Y’all have got to do more stuff like this. It’s so f**king iconic."
A final resolved: "I think this is even better than Doja’s. It has so much sparkle."
The makeup look may have taken a lot of dedication and a whopping six hours to pull off, but even Monét resolved: "I feel good. [...] I do feel fierce.
"[...] That's wild. Yo. That looks crazy. [...] I cannot believe we did this y'all."
However, ultimately, when asked if the duo would recreate the look again, Monét stated: "Hell no. I'm good."
