Every woman knows that the secret to any make-up application is highlighting and contouring. The right placement of blush, concealer, bronzer, and maybe the perfectly tweezed brow can completely change and alter a woman's looks.

The same can be true when a man applies the same rules. In fact, a man can be made to look like any Hollywood celebrity with just the right make-up tricks, stylishly teased wig, and colored contact lenses.

Transforming himself into various Hollywood celebrities and well-known pop culture icons is exactly what Filipino host and comedian Paolo Ballesteros has been posting on his instagram account.

Apparently, the entertainer does not employ team of professional make-up artists and stylists to apply the transformations, and instead does the entire job by himself and posts the photos in a collage of himself sans make-up, alongside his celebrity doppelgangers.

So far, he had managed to uncannily recreate the looks of Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi from Game of Thrones), Jennifer Lawrence, Arianna Grande, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Miley Cyrus, and many others.

His photos have been earning him some buzz online with NBC's The Today Show picking up his feed and featuring him on their #WhatsTrendingTODAY segment on Oct. 9; and reportedly, a producer from TMZ LIVE is interested in interviewing him on a live Skype chat on the show.

Even America's Next Top Model host and creator, Tyra Banks praised Ballesteros' work, tweeting, "He did a great job of looking like me."

Ballesteros sometimes features his makeup transformations on a noon-time show he hosts in the Philippines where he does impersonations of celebrities like Mariah Carey where he not only looks and dresses like the hit singer, but also says he can imitate her signature whistle.

He says his favorite celebrity transformation is Angelina Jolie because she is the easiest for him to do.

"I put big lips and I look like her already," he said.

Reportedly, Ballesteros suffered a stroke last September and used his downtime to perfect his make-up techniques and transformations. His practice certainly paid off as fans are now clamoring for him to show off his skills in the U.S. like on the talkshow Ellen, who often features viral video and internet celebrities.
