instagram.com/pochoy_29Well, this is just uncanny.
Paolo Ballesteros—a Filipino actor, TV host and makeup artist extraordinaire—is putting his incredible face contouring skills to, er, interesting use: The 32-year-old has literally transformed himself into some of the biggest female celebrities in Hollywood right now, including Kim Kardashian, Dakota Johnson and Cate Blanchett. And not only that! He's shared the entire before, in-between and after process with followers on Instagram.
We were first struck by his rendition of Mrs. West, who he recreated post-platinum dye job for a look that was, well, pretty spot on. With sky-high lashes, a peachy pout and cheek bones for days, Paulo literally became Kim (kissy face and all).
Ballesteros also got sultry for his transformation into 50 Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson—nailing the brunette's signature sideswept bangs, red lips and smoky eye.
And he couldn't let Kim have all the fun: Paolo's latest makeover involves the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kylie Jenner. With a black long bob, oversize pout (we wonder if he used Jenner's lip pencil trick) and angled brows, he's Kylie-fied all right.
The attention to detail in Paolo's work is what's most impressive, really—to have a Cate Blanchett moment, he worked to widen his eyes, elongate his pout and create perfect retro curls (a very red carpet Cate, if we do say so ourselves).
Up next for this jack of all makeup palettes? A starring role in Die Beautiful, an indie film in which he will play a transgender woman who's infatuated with Lady Gaga. Chances are that he's doing the makeup.
