A British drag queen has wowed his online following with a series of remarkable transformations into famous faces – using only cosmetics, wigs and coloured contacts.

Alexis Stone, 26, of Manchester, uses his self-taught make-up skills to turn himself into a whole host of celebrities – ranging from singing sensation Adele to Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.

His impressive looks have gained him 836,000 followers on Instagram – and astonishingly, they often taken under an hour to create.

The fashion designer, who has worked with Lady Gaga and Italian Vogue during his career, started dabbling with make-up as a young teenager before dedicating the majority of his time into drag.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Alexis said: ‘They are all done on the first attempt. I’m normally inspired by either current news or movies. 

‘I then go on to download an image of the subject before sitting down and transforming into them straight away in around 40 minutes.’

Here, FEMAIL reveals some of the best transformations…
