In this day and age, makeup is basically magic. It's some straight-up, Harry Potter-level sorcery.

If you've ever seen those half-face cosmetic tutorials, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. The difference can be like night and day.

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...

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?

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

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.
