Paolo Ballesteros posts pictures of insane celebrity makeup transformations on his Instagram.
With a keen eye, deft hand and lots of props (wigs, contact lenses), Ballesteros morphs into the likes of Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Megan Fox, among others. And I have to say, the dude makes a pretty good-looking lady! Who would have thought?
The artistry, creativity and attention to detail that Ballesteros employs should really be applauded. I mean, I can't imagine the time it takes to contour on Kardashian's impossibly high cheek bones, let alone all the other smoke and mirrors! To browse the full collection -- which includes an uncanny Taylor Swift -- head to the TV host's Instagram account, the aptly-titled 'Incredible Celebrity Impersonations.'
