Barbie Rock 'N Royals Concert ExperienceWe are totally swooning over Zendaya's Barbie doll.

After Mattel released a sketch earlier this week of the doll, which rocked our girl's famous Oscars look complete with dreadlocks, the company gave her the actual Barbie Saturday at the Barbie Rock 'N Royals Concert Experience in Los Angeles, Calif.

A photo posted by Zendaya (@zendaya) on

"When I was little I couldn't find a Barbie that looked like me, my...how times have changed," the K.C. Undercover star (and host of the event) captioned a close-up split shot of the Barbie and herself at the Academy Awards. "Thank you @barbie for this honor and for allowing me to be apart of your diversification and expansion of the definition of beauty. Can't wait to keep doing amazing things with you #besuper."
Barbie Rock 'N Royals Concert Experience
Just for good measure she changed her profile photo to a photo of the Zendaya Barbie, and we don't blame her. When you have your own Barbie, you have seriously made it. And lest we not forget, Zendaya also stars on a Disney show, has designed her own shoe collection, and is the face of Madonna's Material Girl clothing line, among other things.

On top of all that, she's also only 18, and always makes sure to give fans messages of empowerment along the way, which is why she's our BFF (in our minds). Total life goals.

Kylie Jenner is at the top of her fashion game ATM and her swimsuits are no exception. While it's hard to be fashionable in something that involves such a small amount of actual fabric, Kylie totally pulls it off.

Since California is still in the midst of an epic heat wave, we are getting to see more of Kylie's suits this summer than we ever could have hoped for.

This latest swimsuit shot she shared proves that the swimsuit itself doesn't have to be the beginning and end of your fashion statement.

While taking a dip in her pool on Friday afternoon, Kylie shared this gorgeous photo of what would have otherwise been a fairly plain swimsuit, but with one small addition, she managed to make it look like it came straight off of a high-end swimwear runway.

Is it practical for when you're splashing around in the water? Probably not, but if you're just laying out and getting your feet wet every once in awhile, the $250 blinged-out accessory could be a cool way to spice up your swimwear.

...or any outfit, for that matter!

#BUILTBYGIRLS Challenge Winners Score $10K and Totally Blow Us Away

Have you ever had a great idea for something you wanted to build? Or course you have. But have you ever actually put that idea into action? Hundreds of high school students in the Girls Who Code program have done just that. And this summer teams from across the country were invited to submit their final projects for the #BUILBYGIRLS Challenge. The entries, including everything from mobile apps to games, were judged on innovation, creativity and technical application. The prize: A trip to San Francisco to compete for a $10,000 scholarship to take their submission to the next level, a mentorship from BBG Ventures and a chance to exhibit their creation at Start-Up Alley at TechCrunch Disrupt, the most prestigious tech conference in Silicon Valley, where it's not uncommon to run into Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg or even Snoop Dogg, who spoke on a panel this year.
The four judges, Girls Who Code alumnae who just started college, spent their summer learning all about VC funding as BBG Ventures' inaugural group of Girls Who Fund interns. The #BUILTBYGIRLS Challenge put their new skills to the test. Entries poured in from 185 teams, and they had the unenviable task of whittling down the impressive field to five finalists, Bach to Basics (a game that teaches music reading), MapIt (for organizing the places you've visited or are hoping to), Terra (an interactive news map of the world, complete with local music), Connections (to help you stay in touch with Grandma and so much more) and Study Pea (a hand-held device that keeps distractions to a minimum by allowing the user to effortlessly adjust lighting and music).

On September 18, the five finalist teams all flew out to San Francisco, put the finishing touches on their presentations and had 10 minutes each to "sell" and demo their projects to the Girls Who Fund interns at Twitter HQ (above), after getting a tour of the Twitter offices and a chance to take a selfie in front of their selfie wall (yup, they have that, a mouth-watering kitchen, a roof deck with bean bag toss and two Montana log cabins that have been recreated as hangout spaces in the middle of their cool AF offices). This time the interns got an assist from four industry experts - Dana Stalder (Matrix), Shanna Tellerman (CEO, stealth start-up, ex-GV), Eurie Kim (Forerunner Ventures) and Lauren Kolodny (Aspect Ventures).

After watching five incredible presentations that gave those of us in the awedience a whole new set of #squadgoals, the judges deliberated for much longer than they expected and ultimately crowned Study Pea the winners of the $10,000 scholarship to take their device to the next level (which in this case involves building more features and adding attractive packaging to hide the messy wiring). But everyone went home a winner when a surprise donor stepped up so that $1000 could be awarded to each of the four runners-up. And the excitement didn't end there. All of the teams were invited to attend an overnight Hackathon at TechCrunch Disrupt where they each built another awesome app (this time they just had 60 seconds to present, above!), collected cool swag from sponsors and coded the night away (with plenty of snack and dance breaks). On Monday, Team Study Pea exhibited side-by-side with real start-ups at the conference.

Everyone returned home exhausted yet exhilirated. The whole weekend was a wonderful testament to the mission of #BUILTBYGIRLS - "Be anything you want to be and build anything you want to build. We believe young women should be builders, creators and innovators - the protagonists in their own lives." Whether they want to be the next Jack Dorsey or build the next great fashion empire, all of these girl coders have now seen and experienced firsthand exactly how technology can fuel their passion and drive their success. We can't wait to see what these inspired - and inspirational - girls build next.

Who hack the world? GIRLS. 🔨👯🔩#builtbygirls #tcdisrupt #hackathon #girlhackers #beyoncpiration

2015 MTV Video Music Awards - Red Carpet
While some people prefer keeping their close group of friends small, not everyone is content with having just a few solid besties to hang around with. If you're a social butterfly who prefers huge girls' nights out to solo Netflix binges, then you've likely already cultivated your own so-called "squad." These are the girls you hit up on GroupMe whenever you're craving some late-night diner food or desperately need an opinion on a prom dress. This squad is your lifeline - and you wouldn't have it any other way.

So how do you know that your own girl squad is totally killing it? Here are some signs that you're already achieving everyone's squad goals.

1. You don't just pick from the clothes in your closet - you pick from the clothes in your whole squad's closet.


You know exactly which one of your friends has the best LBD to borrow.

2. There's no such thing as competition between you guys... just support.


Even when you guys want similar things (like a slot at the same dream college) you find a way to build one another up, not tear the other down.

3. You have so many inside jokes that it's like you guys have your own language.


It's okay if the rest of the world doesn't get your jokes, because you're too busy laughing to notice.

4. You throw the best girls' nights out - and girls' nights in.


Whether you're hitting a party or just Netflixing Gilmore Girls, there's never a dull moment when you guys are together.

5. Birthdays are really big deals.


You'd never miss a chance to celebrate the awesomeness of one of your girls.

6. When life gets hard, you know you have a supportive group to lean on.


Whether it's a bad grade, bad breakup, or just bad day, your girls always have your back. And sometimes they bring cupcakes.

7. Your squad brings out the very best version of you.


When you have friends who love and support you, you're bound to realize just how awesome you are. After all, if you're part of a squad of amazing ladies, you're likely pretty damn great yourself. Congrats!

The 'Jessica Jones' Teaser Is Here, So Move Over, Dude Superheroes

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - April 14, 2015
If there are two things that are just so hot right now, it's Netflix's original programming and superheroes. We already got a killer combination of the two with the Netflix superhero drama Daredevil, and now the streaming service is going at it again - this time, with an awesome heroine front and center. Netflix is streaming all episodes of Season 1 of Jessica Jones beginning Nov. 20, and a new teaser is giving us a sneak peek at what to expect from the series - and Jessica herself.

The series follows Jessica (played by the ah-mazing Krysten Ritter of Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23), a retired superhero whose short career in saving the world led to her opening up a detective agency. This particular agency specializes in solving cases for people with "unique abilities" - a.k.a. fellow superhero types. But Jessica's not your typical do-gooder: she's running from a dark past and has plenty of rough edges she refuses to smooth out. So basically she's a heck of a lot more exciting than Superman.

Jessica may be a retired superhero when the show starts, but as the teaser suggests, her powers are still mostly intact - just ask her alarm clock. Instead of hitting the snooze button, Jessica just crushes the machine with one hand. If that's what she does to a clock (that she'll eventually have to replace, let's be real) who knows what she'll do to her actual enemies?

Jessica Jones is buzzed-about series to check out on Netflix, and here's hoping that Jessica makes major strides for all of the other superheroines in this biz.

First dates are exciting, but when we're getting ready, the nerves always start acting up like crazy. What should I wear? Is my makeup slayed for the gods? Should I Google him?

In this video, little girls not only beautify three good sports lucky women, they give them advice to ease the butterflies of first-date jitters. We're in a pool of feels rn.

Unfortunately, that advice did not include: Don't get suckered into having a kid do your makeup - unless, it's a phone date and you don't plan on leaving the house. We mean...

One look at those clown faces and the fellas will definitely be running the other way!

Some of the girls' advice are on fleek. Six-year-old Judith says, "Don't stuff food in your mouth or else it would be messy." Lurve her. Save that for after the date, sister friend!
Others? Not so much. "If he's really nice to you, you should marry him." *sighs*

But wait 'til you hear what Nina, 5, said about who should kiss whom first. It'll have you like...

Daniel Radcliffe Just Shaved All of His Hair Off

Entertainment Weekly Hosts Its Annual Comic-Con Party At FLOAT At The Hard Rock Hotel In San Diego In Celebration Of Comic-Con 2Remember when Daniel Radcliffe rocked this scruffy look this summer? That is now a thing of the past.

After years of swooning over his cute, disheveled hair on the Harry Potter franchise (pre-scruff), Daniel is completely clean-shaven. His facial hair and the hair on his head are all gone, and he looks so different that our jaws dropped when he showed off the look for the first time this week.


So, what's the deal? He wasn't just trying out a new look for fall. The shaved 'do is for a new film he's currently shooting. "Hi Everyone. Here's the first look of me as FBI agent Nate Foster in IMPERIUM. We began filming the movie this week. I'm very excited about it and will tell you more about it soon!," he captioned the shot on Google +, which showed him rocking a fatigue shirt and a shaved head (he has to be getting a kick out of all the reactions about it).

While it's not clear if he'll go back to rocking a full head of hair (and facial fuzz) once he's done shooting the film, we have to admit this new look is kinda hot on him...and way more badass. His fans, meanwhile, have been kind of freaking out about it. Are you totally freaking out about his new look too? Or are you loving the switch up? Tell us in the comments.

A little retouch here. A little cropping there. Social media is famous for making people's lives a lot rosier than they really are. So much so that we want to explore Chompoo Baritone's photo series, which exposes the truth behind archetypal Instas, in depth.

That glorious healthy dish? Surrounded by junk food. The mesmerizing crystal blue skies during a perfect day at the beach? The sand is literally covered in trash tho.

And there's probably some rando annoyed AF they made it into your shot. Ugh.
Look at these examples of just how exaggerated our lives really can be on social media.

AT FIRST: That Mac looks amaze, the room is so clean. Definitely reblogging this on Tumblr.
BUT THEN: Cats everywhere, clothes everywhere. Where's the disinfectant?
AT FIRST: A vaycay is needed. Like. Now. That place looks way too perf.
BUT THEN: Looks pretty cramped, doesn't it? Like a tight hug but not in the best way.
AT FIRST: OMG. So jelly of her diet. Why are the best tasting foods soooo unhealthy? UGH.
BUT THEN: K, those other dishes don't look so healthy after all. Are you really on a diet?
AT FIRST: That garden is so gorg! How is it kept so clean?
BUT THEN: The garden needs some cleaning up, ASAP.
AT FIRST: At the beach, by yourself, with just the wind, sun, sand, and surf. #Goals.
BUT THEN: The beach is dirty and crowded and our personal space is about to be invaded. No thanks.
AT FIRST: How is NO ONE else on the road. Def #BikeRidingGoals.
BUT THEN: Oh wait, there are people walking by. That's gotta be embarrassing.
AT FIRST: How is she doing that. On. Her. HEAD? Amazing.
BUT THEN: She has help. No fair.
AT FIRST: We need to get our Serena Williams on and get active. No more Netflix binges.
BUT THEN: That's it. Everything's a lie.
So the next time you're feeling down because the people you follow on Insta seem to have more exciting lives than you, think about this photo series. It's incredible how easy we can manipulate our persona on the Internet. Remember: Do you and be yourself.


KUWTK Sneak Peek: Kim Helps Kris Deal With Cait's Transition

Kris Jenner is still having a tough time adjusting to Caitlyn Jenner's transition and in this sneak peek from tonight's Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she breaks down over what she feels is the "loss" of Bruce.

In the clip, released by E! News, Kim Kardashian brings over some of Bruce's old clothes that Cait has gotten rid of. "I wanted to give you these things," Kim tells Kris as she shows her the clothes. "Caitlyn let me take this."

As they go through the garments, they reminisce about the memories they had with Cait when she was wearing each of the items.

"I think going through something like this is difficult because the whole thing is something I've never dealt with before and I realize that I still have a long way to go before I can process all of this and understand it," Kris tells the camera. "And seeing these clothes and realizing that Bruce has thrown them out makes it real."

Kris keeps saying that she can't believe that "he's gone," but as Kim reminds her, that isn't true. Cait is still the same soul and that person they have all known and loved for so long has not gone anywhere, she's just finally living as her authentic self.

In this beautiful pic the Teen Mom OG star shared on Instagram, Maci jokes that her daughter is already a Tennessee Volunteers fan - and she has the adorable little cheerleader outfit to prove it! "The cutest #VFL i ever did see! #GoVols #BeatFlorida," she captioned the photo.

And big brother Bentley is a fan, too! Maci shared this photo of him all decked out in his fan gear when the season started three weeks ago. "Its finally football time in Tennessee! Go Big Orange!" she wrote.

As you might have guessed, Bentley is also a huge fan of his little sister. Maci told Us Weekly that when Benny met baby Jayde in the hospital, he took to her right away. "He just crawled into bed and was petting her," she told them. "It was the sweetest thing in the whole world." Aw!

She also told them that Jayde is slightly more dramatic than Bentley was as a baby. "Bentley was very chill, easygoing," she revealed. "Jayde's a bit more dramatic....she gives a little attitude." You tell 'em, Jayde!

Beyonce Was a Michelle Obama Fangirl at the 2015 Global Citizen Fest and It Was Beyond Adorable

2015 Global Citizen Festival In Central Park To End Extreme Poverty By 2030 - ShowThe Global Citizen Festival that took place in New York City's Central Park on Saturday, Aug. 26, was definitely the place to be. The annual event featured superstar performances galore, including sets by Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Beyonce and more. After Queen Bey slayed the stage, she introduced Michelle Obama to the crowd. Once the first lady made her entrance, Beyoncé went from Sasha Fierce to total fangirl in one fell swoop. She literally ran across the stage (wearing a huge grin and high heels) to embrace the FLOTUS.

The "Feelin' Myself" singer and the Michelle's special moment was so warm and full of love and support that Sasha and Malia could totally claim Bey as an honorary big sister.


"I am honored to follow a woman whom I admire and adore, someone who believes as passionately as I do, the boundless promise of girls worldwide," the FLOTUS said about the singer.

The Global Citizen Festival is a free event that aims to help the United Nations with its goal of ending extreme poverty all over the globe by 2030. During her appearance, Michelle promoted her social media campaign "#62milliongirls," which helps to raise awareness about all the girls around the globe who are unable to attend school due to economic or social issues.



This Jewelry Is Literally Made From Trash

Ever pick up a piece of cheap jewelry and think, "What is this junk made of?"

The Precious Waste project at Mexico's Universidad Gestalt de Diseño asks that same question in a totally different context. Led by Mariana Acosta Contreras, the class provides a forum for students to design and create jewelry out of materials that might otherwise be in a landfill. To pass the class, the finished jewelry must be wearable and totally finished. Sounds hard!

Mariana leads her students to find inspo in abundant materials that they are tossing out each day, such as old VHS tapes, egg cartons, soda-can tabs and old magazines.

These students must be super talented, because the results are incredible.
Precious Waste"Untitled" by Andrea Nava is made from metal and offset printing sheets.
Precious Waste"Corassette" by Rosa Sarai Hernández is made from audio cassette tapes and other media.
Precious Waste"Untitled" by Anabel Sánchez is made from egg cartons and Tetra Paks.
Precious Waste"Toons & Gems" by Fernando Beníto is made from toys.
Precious Waste"Untitled" by Maricarmen Ladrón de Geuevara is made from old CDs.

"None of this can happen if the student is not committed to their material," Mariana told Fast Company. "I always tell them that if you spend enough time with it, it will talk back to you. And it is true. You have to understand what the material is trying to tell you about it, not the other way around."

Mariana had the idea to work with trash when she was a grad student at the Rhode Island School of Design tasked with making 100 rings...per week! She started looking to unusual materials, like the orange peels left over from her lunch, when she ran out of metal.

Eco-friendly and ultra creative - this is jewelry we can get behind! We hope these talented design students go on to do some fab things!

"All the girls out there, all my little tribe, have told me that they never really celebrated their name change, they just kind of went through it. So it's not just for me, really it's about all of them," she explained before she walked outside.

Now that Cait's docuseries has wrapped, the former Olympian is laying low and just enjoying life. In a WhoSay blog post after the season finale aired, Cait explained: "Many of you have written and asked what's next for me. I'm going to take breather for a minute. I want to continue to grow as a person. In so many ways I feel like I'm a teenage girl discovering herself! I'm still trying to figure out what it means to be a woman and I will continue that process. Because you know what? It's a lot of fun!"

Here's Why Chris Brown Might Not Be Performing in Australia Anytime Soon

2015 BET Awards - ArrivalsOnce again, Chris Brown's past has come back to haunt him. According to MTV, the "Loyal" singer's domestic violence history may be the deciding factor in whether he's allowed to take his "One Hell of a Nite" tour to Australia in December.

Although Chris has performed in the country twice since he was convicted of assaulting Rihanna in 2009, Australia's immigration department doesn't appear willing to budge on accepting his visa application. On Friday, Chris received a "notice of intention to consider refusal" in regards to gaining entry to Australia, but he was also granted 28 days to appeal the decision. But judging by the outcry from some Australian citizens who back the immigration's refusal, that may be easier said than done.

In the past two days, more than 14,000 people have signed a petition through the anti-domestic violence group GetUp! to have the 26-year-old banned from the country entirely. SPIN reports that the organization says their opposition to Chris visiting Australia isn't solely based on his 2009 assault case.
Chris Brown: One Hell Of A Nite Tour
GetUp!'s Kelsey Cooke told SkyNews, "Chris Brown is not the point of this campaign." She continued, "It is about domestic violence and taking that seriously, rather than turning a blind eye."

This is the second time in the past couple of months that Chris has encountered trouble while performing abroad. In July, the singer was detained in the Philippines after local promoters claimed Breezy owed them money from a missed New Year's Eve performance.

Tickets for the "One Hell of a Nite" tour are set to go on sale Monday, Aug. 28, but if this case isn't resolved soon, the Australian fans who actually want to see Breezy hit the stage might be left blowing in the wind.

You guys, this is a game-changer!

Just when we thought the Pumpkin Spice Latte couldn't possibly be more amazing, Bustle brought us this and life as we know it will never be the same.

How do you deep fry a Pumpkin Spice Latte, you ask? You obviously don't just throw your Starbucks cup into the deep fryer - in fact, you definitely should NOT do that. What you have to do, is infuse something with the latte and deep fry that, which is exactly what they did with this ground-breaking act of PSL sorcery.

So, here's what you do. You get yourself some pound cake, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and two Grande PSL's. Cut the pound cake into one-inch cubes, soak the cubes in the coffee, put the one-inch pieces of pure heaven into the deep fryer for five minutes, throw some cinnamon sugar and whipped cream on those babies and bam! Your world just got turned upside-down.

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey's "Sisters" Movie Poster is Cray

72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards - ArrivalsIf you're like Amy Poehler and you're sorely missing the Parks and Recreation cast, then perhaps this next bit of news will help ease those pangs of nostalgia. As everyone knows, Amy and fellow funny chick Tina Fey will co-star in Sisters, and now we have the film's poster art to give us a clearer idea of what the two comedians would be like as siblings IRL.

Honestly, it's pretty much how we imagined an average (read: drunken) night between the two Saturday Night Live vets. The poster shows Tina and Amy deeply engaged in a bathtub chill sesh, complete with wrapped heads (is that a Big Lots bag, Tina?!) and a wine bottle. Sisters is a film about a pair of siblings who find out their parents have decided to put their childhood home on the market. Apparently, the thought of simply showing up to help pack boxes and sift through elementary school memorabilia sounds like one huge snoozefest, so the sisters decide to stop by and throw a huge blowout bash.

Who else could totally see Tina and Amy actually pulling this stunt for real? Fans would probably pay good money to see them in action. But we're pretty sure the film will paint a pretty vivid picture when it hits theaters on Dec. 18.

So Sweet! Professor Cradles His Student's Toddler During Class

We're warning you: have tissues handy for this next heartwarming story. Recently, a photo snapped by Nashville DeVry University student Amanda Osbon sparked a massive online response.

Amanda thought she would be forced to miss one of her evening classes when her babysitter bailed at the last minute but her professor Joel Bunkowske and the school gave her the okay to bring her 1-year-old son Xzavier to class. But like any small child, sitting still for three hours proved an impossible feat. However, Amanda's professor stepped in eased her embarrassment by scooping the cute toddler up and cradling him while continuing to lecture.

"That made me literally start crying. I broke down. My classmates started hugging me," Amanda told News 2. "He went up to my professor and put his little arms up like that and without missing a beat my professor picked him up and kept teaching, and it was amazing to see that."

Understandably, Amanda was overwhelmed and appreciate by the professor's gesture that she decided to publicly acknowledge him on Facebook. The professor's kindness resonated with plenty of people, including Hillary Clinton, who shared it on her Facebook page.

In response to his generosity, Professor Bunkowske explained that childcare issues shouldn't prevent parents from pursuing their education.

"My response was 'It's a whole lot better if you come to class because I'd hate for you to miss a class.' To stop someone from getting that education because of a life circumstance, I think is a travesty," he said.

SIGH. Let the ugly crying commence.

The $10 Beauty Product With 18 Different Uses

FruitWe know tons of people have been telling you coconut oil is basically a miracle salve. But did you know that a jar of virgin coconut oil only costs about $10 and can be used for close to 20 different things?

Maren Giuliano, Executive Global Whole Body Coordinator at Whole Foods Market, loves to keep a jar on hand for that reason.

"Our shoppers love single-ingredient products that they can personalize to their individual beauty needs," says Maren, who began honing her beauty expertise at a small herb shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1993. "Whether it's a clean makeup remover, a natural hair mask or a simple facial moisturizer, coconut oil acts as a great multi-tasker and one jar goes a long way."

Here are some of our fave genius AF ways to use coconut oil:

1. Lip balm. Just swipe on some oil as much as you please!
2. Mouthwash. "Oil pulling" - the process of swishing oil in your mouth - can kill bad breath and make your teeth whiter by wiping out bacteria. CNN reports that two sessions of four minutes is plenty.
3.Whitening toothpaste. Mix it with some baking soda, and maybe add some peppermint essential oil to make it taste good.
4. Deodorant. We made our own effective coconut oil-based version.
5. Cuticle cream. Just apply it to your cuticles, the skin at the base of your nail, during a self-mani.
6. Makeup brush cleaner. Combine two parts antibacterial soap, one part coconut oil.
7. Makeup remover. Use a cotton pad or apply directly with your fingers.
8. Scar cream. Put some on top of a scar to keep it from darkening and blistering.
9. Itch cream. Use it on bug bites to save you from scratching.
10. Body scrub. Mix some salt or sugar (coarse is best) with coconut oil and slough off all that rough skin.
11. Defrizzer. Tame your flyaways by rubbing it through the ends of your hair.
12. Body lotion. Follow a DIY recipe to do it right, and blend in your fave essential oils to personalize the scent.
13. Shaving cream. Another fun thing to DIY.
14. Dandruff treatment. Rub it into your scalp before you go to bed at night.
15. Body oil. This moisturizing salve naturally has an SPF of 4.
16. Eye cream. Dab the moisturizer on the delicate skin under your eyes to prevent wrinkles.
17. Hot oil treatment. Warm it up and work it through your hair before you shampoo and condition.
18. Hydrating face cream. Just apply to your face and let the antioxidants seep into your skin all day or night. Or, use it to remove your makeup and then just leave it on to work its magic.

What in the world did we just watch?!

YouTube user Dope2111, who already has over 3 million subscribers who can't get enough of her celebrity and cartoon characters makeup transformations, uploaded this video for Halloween and it's the stuff nightmares are made of.

We knew she was very talented, but this is seriously some next-level special effects ish and we can't stop staring at it. Even though we know it's makeup, and we watched the entire process from beginning to end - twice! - it still totally trips us out.

"Staring at it too long can make your brains hurt. So beware," she jokes in the video caption. "Drawing a double of everything in your face takes patience but you will turn heads everywhere you go in Halloween. Make it as realistic as possible using false lashes,adding contour & highlights etc."

If you're pressed for time, scrub to 3:30, where she actually wears the look out in public, and as expected, people freak the f**k out!
