12 Edith Mair
We would all love to have this vlogger's skills in beauty as she showed us how she made her acne disappear in a 60 second video clip. Edith Mair decided to record herself applying a number of concealers and green and orange eyeshadows. Most people applaud her for having such skills but others were not much of a fan. They thought she applied way too much makeup just to cover her blemishes, commenting stuff like, “She literally painted her face,” or “This is crazy, 2 kilos of foundation. Seems like the skin is not able to breathe. She is a beauty vlogger, though, so what did you expect? But overall, she did get comments such as, “Amazing. This inspired me not to feel so uncomfortable with my blemishes. On her blog, she describes herself as a makeup addict and works as a hairdresser.
11 Letisha Velasco
Letisha Velasco is an English language student at Pangasinan State University in the Philippines but considers makeup her number one hobby and boy is she good at it. The 17-year-old is so talented that three years earlier, she tried to transform herself into Angelina Jolie, her idol, and that's when she discovered her passion. Since then, she found herself doing other celebrity transformations such as Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and even Leonardo DiCaprio! “I was really pleased with how it turned out," she told HotSpot Media. "So I decided to try and transform myself into other celebrities with different face shapes.” Probably a fan favorite though was when she went for Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean character, Captain Jack Sparrow. In the end, Letisha just does it as a hobby and for fun and stays true to herself. “I really love trying different transformations, but we're all beautifully unique. And I think we should embrace it.”
10 Lisa Eldridge and Michael Ashton
You have to admit that the best transformations are the celebrity ones. It's fun watching people makeover themselves into these famous people we all wish to be. Lisa Eldridge got to show us an awesome transformation of our favorite celebs and singers, Adele, with the help of makeup artist, Michael Ashton, on her YouTube channel. He basically answered everyone's question on how to get the “Hello” singer's liquid eyeliner. She always seems to be carrying this natural beauty on her so we wonder, what she does to make herself look so gorgeous but without too much effort. Thanks to Michael's skills and Lisa's channel, we got to see a crazy celebrity transformation by applying natural makeup because at the end of the day, Adele is all natural beauty. Everyone was pleased to watch this makeover with regular and normal makeup without over the top makeup applications. Makeup can be fun to play with but sometimes we just want to look beautiful in our own way.
9 Anar Agakishiev
This celebrity makeup artist goes all the way in his job. Anar Agakishiev makes people in their 60's look decades longer with her makeup skills. If you check out her Instagram page, his posts are all about showing before and after photos of these transformations and people can't get enough. Sometimes it's even questionable if it is the same person because the two pictures look so different from each other but based on Anar's skills and talent, it's surely the same person who just got the makeover of their dreams. He was born in Georgia and attend school for medicine for his parents but he soon left the university to pursue his true passion for beauty and makeup. He's been successful in his career, playing makeup artist for celebrities like famous singers and Eurovision contestants. He's probably every woman's dream makeup artist, who makes ladies look years younger.
8 Kandee Johnson
Kandee Johnson turned into a YouTube star after teaching her audience how to transform into celebrities and icons with just the application of makeup. But before making it on YouTube, she did graduate from beauty school and did hair for a while until she realize she only wanted to focus on makeup. She then became a makeup artist for film and television including for the Conan O'Brien show and VH1's I Love the 80's. After her career in the entertainment business, she took her skills with her to create her own business online. She got to showcase her transformations of Barbie, Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian and even Snow White. But she is most known for her jaw dropping transformation of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. “I know this political stuff is getting a little heated, nervous, upset, and I thought what a better way to lighten the mood than to turn myself into it with a costume look,” Johnson explained. She seriously amazed everyone transforming into both at the same time. So if you weren't sure who to vote for at the time of the election because you wanted both (which is highly unlikely), her transformation would've been good for you since it was two in one package.
7 Roberta Larosa
This beauty blogger showed the world her makeup skills when she transformed into Hollywood's most wanted actresses and model, Cara Delevingne. Beauty blogger, Roberta Larosa, or as called Atrebor8, has been seen doing other celebrity transformations such as Kylie Jenner and Ian Somerhalder but when she did Cara, her fans and the rest of the world couldn't believe their eyes. She had posted her transformation on Instagram and got over 45,000 likes and 700 comments on the post. The best part was the post wasn't an image of her new look, but a video. So the world got to see her act our Cara's character and she nailed it. Of course, the blonde wig, contacts, and all that makeup helped her pull off the transformation but it was her acting that got everyone to love the video. Larosa really caught everyone's eye when she posted this insane celebrity transformation.
6 Mayratouchofglam
This is Kylie Jenner lips on a whole other level. Mayratouchofglam, a YouTube star with over one million subscribers, decided to have some fun with lipstick than the usual. She went ahead and applied 100 coats of lipstick on her soft lips and by the time she applied the tenth layer, she was feeling the pain already. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to do it while her lips were already swollen. The vlogger explained her lips were feeling the driest by the fifth layer! Plus, she didn't just apply one shade or similar shades, she took on all different types of colors from shades of red, pink, and blue. By the 90th layer, the lipstick was peeling on the side. At the end, her lips looked really worn out and crusty like. She even showed how she took it off which she did with a metal tool. This was totally brave of her but let's be honest, she must have had a lot of time in her hands.
5 Aly Art
Aly Art turned everyone's heads when she transformed herself into Gigi Hadid and looked like her identical sister. Art is a big YouTube sensation who's transformations include celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Perrie Edwards. So you'll definitely want to check out her channel if you're one of those who strive to look like these famous girls. When Art starts off with her transformation, the girl is already beautiful but doesn't look anything like the supermodel. But at the end, she gives all hope that we can, too, look like supermodels if we dedicate the time and learn the mad skills like the YouTuber did. She really took every detail into consideration from her round forehead to her tan skin to her high eyebrows. If you watch her video, you can see how concentrated she is and how seriously she takes the makeover. It's almost intimidating to see how good of an artist she is. She's literally painting her face and pointing out all angles and aspects. Aly Art is one talented artist.
4 Pony
This beauty guru is all over the YouTube world with her Korean makeup skills. You can catch her on her YouTube channel, Pony Makeup, with over 2 million subscribers. Her channel is famous not only for her beauty skills but her really out there personality. She has become an ultimate trendsetter in Korean beauty. So when word came out about a beauty vlogger transforming into Taylor Swift with just makeup, everyone wanted to see who this talent was and it was no surprise she is one of the most popular beauty vloggers out there. Pony is contouring on a whole other level, I mean she actually turns herself into Taylor Swift! Of course, it took more than 24 makeup products to transform her into Taylor but it was crazy actually watching what each makeup product can do to your face, if you have mad skills like Pony.
3 Promise Fan
Promise Fan is known for her two YouTube channels, Promise21111 and dope2111, where she presents us makeup tutorials but not just any makeup tutorials. She is a transformative makeup artist and beauty vlogger. The YouTube star said she started playing with makeup at a young age and she stayed consistent with it which is what made her better. The 27-year-old decided to post her first video on YouTube on January 12, 2010 using Avatar makeup. Ever since, she has made a name for herself and has amassed over 4.4 million subscribers on YouTube. That's a lot of people interested in makeup. Her most known celebrity makeup tutorials are her Miley Cyrus transformation and Angeline Jolie transformation. But nothing beats when she introduced how to do makeup with double vision. She calls it “trippy vision,” where she applies makeup to make it look like she has four eyes and two sets of lips. No wonder she calls it trippy.
2 Chrisspy
There are not only celebrity or human transformations, there are also fish transformations! YouTube makeup artist Chrisspy proved you can really be anything you want to be. She turned herself into the beloved character of Finding Nemo, Dory. Yes, the blue fish we all enjoy watching. At first, it's cute when you see the image but then it gets to you and you start feeling a little creeped out. She mixes it up by using Elmer glue to secure her eyebrows on the skin. The YouTube star also had to cut out come pieces to really go all out with the fins and the rest of Dory's body. This goes a long way and consumes a lot of time but Chrisspy didn't mind as her main goal of doing this tutorial was to grab the attention of TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, the voice behind Dory.
1 Saraswati
This Disney enthusiast has turned her love into her career by showcasing makeup tutorials on how to transform into your favorite Disney princess. The Malaysian makeup artist, Sarawatsi, has showed transformations of Ariel from the Little Mermaid, Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Tinkerbell, Mulan, Pocahontas, and Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. What makes this beauty vlogger stand out is her use of her hijabis into her character transformations. She turns her red hijab into the long, red locks of Ariel, her black hijab into the tied up hair bun of Mulan as well as her yellow pale material one into Queen Elsa's blonde side braids. Saraswati definitely brings a unique experience in the beauty and makeup industry with her Disney themed channel and her use of materials. Not only does she lets young girls know that they can become their favorite princess but she does more. “I am really glad I could inspire some women, little girls, and teenage girls out there,” Saraswati tells MTV. “Especially those who are afraid to wear a hijab in public. I'm glad I could change some people's opinions about the hijab, who think that we are oppressed.”
