A self-proclaimed ‘master catfish’ spends 14 hours a week transforming her face for people to “break their neck” to check if she is the real deal.
Patricia Lichtenberger, a make-up artist and content creator, is known for leaving fans baffled by her drastic transformations.
The 50-year-old has now revealed that she spends just £600 a year on make-up to maintain the illusions – because she prefers cheaper products from Walmart and Dollar General over designed goods.

And she doesn’t feel any guilt about other women learning from her and tricking men.
“[People] are breaking their neck to see if I am the real deal,” Patricia told Need To Know.
“I just have that effect on people [online] and in real life.
“They don’t believe I am the same person; it’s like they do a double-take.
“I don’t feel bad about catfishing or changing my appearance, it’s who I am and how creative I can be.
“I’m here to make women feel good about themselves and not give up on themselves – if that makes men mad, then so be it.
“[But] I [don’t buy] expensive products.
“Everyone will learn, I may look expensive, but I save your pocketbook.”
Patricia’s transformations are so detailed that she ends up looking like a “completely different person”.
The influencer, who hails from Kansas, US and Cuba, said: “It’s all about creating that illusion, you have to know colour theory too.
“Always experiment, take it to the next level.
“When I transform myself, it usually depends on what I’m feeling, whether I want to be really extra dolled up and glammed.
“I don’t aim to look the same, and that’s my game, to go from drab to fab!
“It brings out the little girl in me to dress myself up like I did my Barbies back in the day.
“The most important main step is prep; don’t have crusty dried lips, I always wear lip balm lip oil.
“Otherwise, your lips look like a scaly iguana.
“Secondly, a great primer that works as a moisturiser.
“Get a tacky sticky one, I like it because it grabs my make-up and keeps it together.
“Do your make-up as per usual and end it with an amazing setting spray.
“And I don’t use filters.
“My fans love me for me, and I will give them what they want – so they ask and I will deliver, it’s simple.
“Don’t be scared to be different.”
