Looking good: Miss Maines' work has proved so popular, she now has more than 6000 followers on Instagram

Indeed, so impressive is the 21-year-old's portfolio, she has amassed more than 6,000 fans on Instagram and has piqued the interest of the team behind BBC show, Doctor Who.

What's more, Miss Maines, who hails from Newcastle, uses nothing more than cheap £1 face paints and discarded eye-shadows to create the looks.

'I just started doing this in my bedroom at night,' explains Miss Maines who spends her days doing make-up of the more conventional kind.

'I've had no training, it was just something that I enjoyed doing. It's a fairly cheap hobby. I buy face paints from fancy dress shops and they only work out at £1 each. 

'As well as that I use things I find around the house, CDs that I cut up, beads from necklaces, pots of glitter and old eye-shadows.' 

The designs, all of which are Miss Maines' own work, take days to plan and up to three hours to complete. 

But once she has finished photographing the incredibly intricate looks, she washes them off and is never seen wearing the designs in public.
