THIS weird and wonderful optical illusion seems to show how some beautiful people become quite ugly.
To get the full effect, it’s crucial not to look directly at them.

Play the video to make the images move, then watch the crossover between the faces.
Attractive people don’t look so pretty now.
Like many scientific discoveries, this was a complete accident, according to the Illusion of the Year website.
While working on photographs of faces for an unrelated experiment, a college student was shocked to see misshapen faces appear before his eyes.
The website explains that the distortion comes from the many differences between each face and the one that follows it.
A tanned face, for example, will make the next face pale, and squinting will make normal eyes bulge.
It comes as a Venetian mask optical illusion that makes people scratch their heads because of a hidden second perspective that you might not see at first.
The image, originally produced by Gianni Sarcone, Courtney Smith, and Marie-Jo Waeber, may appear to be a blurred face behind a mask.
However, many people may not have noticed that the main features of the mask are actually made up of a man and a woman kissing.
The Illusion of the Year contest posted this image saying, “When a viewer perceives two individual faces, their brain will ‘switch’ between two possible interpretations of the mask, causing the viewer to perceive two faces or one face alternately.”
“This type of illusion, in which the viewer experiences two equally possible alternate stable states of perception, is called a ‘bistable illusion.'”
Another awesome optical illusion reveals your secret weakness when it comes to your love life.
Whichever image you see first could tell you exactly what aspect of the other person is your romantic weakness.
And this optical illusion could reveal whether or not you’re a control freak, depending on which image you see first.
The video shot with this optical illusion contains ten different riddles that reveal the hidden truth about the inner workings of your brain.
