We’ve seen Twitter celebrity Zawachin work her makeup magic before to transform into pretty much any ethnicity or gender. She’s turned into AKB48 members, all the members of Japanese boy band Arashi, and love-them-or-love-to-hate-them British boy band One Direction.
And for Halloween, Zawachin has been blowing netizens’ minds with her pitch-perfect Avengers Black Widow costume. Some are claiming it’s the actual Scarlett Johansson in disguise, but we have the pictures to prove otherwise.
Never heard of Zawachin before? Get better acquainted with this video of her showing off her makeup skills as she becomes Satomi Ishihara:
Now that you’ve seen Zawachin’s magic in action, here’s the tweet that yet again reaffirmed her having some sort of supernatural makeup powers:
▼ “I appeared as Black Widow for the Avengers: Age of Ultron DVD release event. It felt even more real having the super high-quality Captain America and Iron Man next to me. I want to be part of the Avengers….”

Now that is some on-point cosplay! It should be noted that the Black Widow costume was provided to Zawachin, but still, she pulled off everything from the neck up perfectly.
Just looking at the photo, it really looks more like a promotional shot for the movie than just some people dressed up. That really speaks to the effort and detail that Zawachin put into her appearance, not to mention the quality of her sidekicks too.
Here’s some more shots from the event: (Click pictures to enlarge.)

Seeing Zawachin transform into Scarlett Johansson’s doppelganger elicited quite a few reactions online:
“My god… the quality… it’s too bright!”
“Wait… is that the real Scarlett Johannson?”
“She doesn’t even look Japanese anymore.”
“I don’t want to think about how long that makeup took to do.”
“Guys, why is everyone ignoring that awesome Ironman?”
Hey, let’s not get sidetracked here!
If you like what you’ve seen of Zawachin, then give her a follow on Twitter. It’s always exciting to see who she will transform into next.
