Makeup artist with no limbs stuns TikTok followers by showing how he applies a full face of cosmetics including false eyelashes
A makeup artist with no limbs has gone viral on social media with a video showing him applying a full glam look without hands.
Gabe Adams-Wheatley, from Utah, was born in Brazil with Hanhart syndrome, a genetic condition which affects limb development, and adopted by an American family.
Now a married man living in Salt Lake City, Gabe is a makeup artist who has two million followers on TikTok and more than 101,000 Instagram fans.
His latest video, which sees the makeup artist applying a full glam look, with glued- on lashes, contouring and glossy lip, has been watched more than 4 million times on TikTok.

For the clip, Gabe held a brush between his neck and his shoulders to wave at the camera.
He then showed how he sticks the brush, his makeup sponge and other beauty tools to his table and moves his head around them to apply the cosmetics.
In spite of the difficulty of applying the makeup without hands, Gabe did not cut corners, and applied concealer as well as foundation before moving on to contouring.
To get the desired effect, he wedged the stick against the table using his shoulder and swiped his cheek along the top.
He then switched brushes to do a smoky eye and added cream-colored eyeliner on his waterline.

The makeup artist went on showcasing his incredible skills by applying a pair of fake eyelashes.
While some might find the task tricky, Gabe has found an ingenious way to apply the beauty accessories.
After putting the lashes on top of a bottle of product on the table, Gabe slowly drew drawing his face close to the lash so that it had time to latch on to his natural lashes.
He then added a dab of blush on each cheek, before applying a coat of gloss on his lip to finish the look.

'The lash part woaw,' one fan said.
'The lash application!!!! A king,' said one.
'You amaze me everyday,' one fan wrote.
'Okay cause you are talented,' one said.
'Me, with two hands and still can't put eye shadow correctly,' another joked.
Enjoying his new popularity on social media, Gabe uses his platform to promote an anti-bullying message.
In a video posted during Suicide Prevention Month, he admitted he had tried to take his own life after being bullied for his looks and told he wasn't enough.
In February, he told LGBTQ+ publication Queerty that his adopting parents and 12 siblings have always supported him and taught him to be strong.
'I would come home in tears because people would make fun of me for the fact I have no arms or legs,' he said.
'One day my mum was like, "I need you to look in the mirror and name ten things you like about yourself. Then I want you to go to school and pick ten people and say one nice thing about them."
'Just doing that generated this positivity in my life that made me strive to do better and be happy for myself so I could give my best to everybody else.'
Fans were blown away by Gabe's makeup skills, especially the way he applies his fake lashes, and called him a 'king'
