23 Hilarious Pics That Show The Power Of Makeup

With a little highlight and contour, even the manliest of men has the potential to look like a Victoria's Secret model.

I'm not joking! If you had any doubt in your mind about the power of makeup, these photos will set the record straight...

1. Annnnddddddd this is why I have trust issues.

These days, contour can really make it look like you have anything — a six pack, a stronger jaw, a skinnier nose... I wonder if makeup can make me look like I have my life together, too?

2. Just take a moment to absorb the reality that this arm has better brows than any of us ever will.

Let me remind you that this is someone's ARM — it literally looks better than any makeup I've applied to my actual face.

3. This photo of "13-year-olds now vs. me when I was 13" is so accurate it hurts.

I'm pretty sure my only makeup was Lip Smackers, and I thought eyeliner and eyelash curlers were torture devices.

4. Even men can't help but get giddy over a fierce highlight... Just look at the GLOW.

Pretty soon he'll start asking you to take his pics like, "No, babe! Take it from over there, babe. Make sure you get the best light, babe!"

5. I have a similar trick, but I call it, "five hours in the bathroom."

The trick takes longer or shorter depending on who I'm seeing, where I'm going, or how badly I've messed up my left eye's winged liner.

6. If he hadn't shown the original photo, I would have thought he was just another pretty girl...

Who else is personally insulted by this photo because this man is prettier than most biological women?

7. It's definitely the kind of person whose version of "light makeup" is one hour of heavy contouring and highlight.

Not even their car is allowed to leave the house without a set of glam falsies.

8. Why do I feel like he's about to ask to speak to my manager, too?

It's probably because this one-year-old boy looks like he has more sass than me and all my friends combined.

9. Girls on Instagram be like, "Click the link in my bio to watch my tutorial on how to fake a natural brow!"

As you can see, it's all about shading and building onto the shape of your natural brow.

10. Just in case you were wondering, false eyelashes make the most perfect eyebrows for cats.

Am I the only one who sees this feline's resemblance to Eugene Levy? The bushy brows are spot on.

11. Not many people can say that their makeup was so strong that it left an imprint...

...on the back of a seat after a car crash. I must say, that's some pretty powerful stuff right there.

12. How To Get Into Concerts For Free 101.

For all we know, Zayn and Gigi haven't gotten back together... This girl just hasn't taken off her makeup and revealed her true self yet. Again, this is why I have trust issues.

13. When you wear false lashes for the first time and the song "A Whole New World" comes on in the background.

Honestly, the effects of a full set of false lashes is incredible. So eye opening.

14. Great. Not only do we have to compete with other women, now we gotta compete with men, too.

But let's be real... There's no competing with this guy because his contour game is flawless.

15. When he said he needed his beauty sleep, he probably wasn't expecting to wake up with a full face of makeup.

If this was a sleeping beauty impression, he is spot on. I've honestly never seen a more peaceful slumber.

16. If your eyeliner can withstand the high-speed collision of two large metal objects, then it was probably worth the buy.

Although, this shouldn't be the standard for waterproof makeup products. Then again, people are taking selfies after car accident now, sooo...maybe it should?

17. Seriously, guys, the bar for a five-star review now rests on whether or not a product can withstand a car crash.

Next thing you know, car crash dummies will be wearing foundation and concealer.

18. To be fair, I'm pretty sure this was a C-section.

But that doesn't take away from the fact that her makeup looks bomb AF (and under gross fluorescent hospital lighting, no less)!

19. As long as we're talking about the power of makeup, I should also note that makeup has evil powers, too.

For example, it has the power to stain and destroy a perfectly good piece of clothing.

20. Makeup also has the power to drain your bank account in an impressively quick amount of time.

Just ask anyone who has ever left the cash register at a Sephora.

21. On the bright side, makeup can really help you to use your imagination.

Or, in the case below, force you to use your imagination because nobody has the time or patience to do their eye makeup twice in one day.

22. The right makeup tutorial can really change you life.

And also your face...and your whole identity. Remember when I said makeup was like magic?

Well, OK, this one's actually the magic of the internet.

23. "Crying Face Kim Kardashian" is the makeup tutorial I didn't know I needed until now.

This proves that anyone can look as beautifully distraught as Kim Kardashian using the incredible power of makeup.
