Each person paints one half of the Venom-inspired face, then they lean cheek to cheek to complete the image. The makeup looks unfinished until the two faces come together.

The unfinished Venom look is the reason why the format isn’t really limited to couples. One video recreates the same method with a mother and son, proving that the “two halves one thing” setup works for pretty much any duo.

  • One split “creature” design, and each person gets one half, focusing on the shared character’s elements.
