Jean shopping is probably everyone’s least favorite kind of shopping. Jeans are a fashion staple and perfect for loads of occasions, but it’s not easy to find the right pair. If a pair fits your waist it mightn’t fit your hips, and if they fit your leg, they might not sit well on your butt.

These jeans were advertised as being 32 inches long. Unless this person has incredibly long legs, it looks like that can’t be the case.

You would think that clothing sizes would be standardized in some way. You know — everything labeled a size eight would have to have the same dimensions. That way, when you’re trying to find clothing that fits, you would know where to begin.

In reality, clothing stores just make up what their sizes mean. A size eight in one store could be a size 14 in another. This picture shows several pairs of jeans that are all supposed to be the same size. Outrageous!

Ripped jeans have been in fashion for decades now. While they were once associated with farmworkers, distressed denim is now a trendy look for just about anyone. The only problem is, when jeans are ripped, they keep on ripping.

Some ripped jeans are designed so they don’t pull anymore, but others are like a constantly unraveling ball of string. One minute we look great in our jeans, and the next we feel too exposed because our skin is showing!

Ugh, how annoying is the way strapless tops slip down? Though tops, dresses and rompers without sleeves look great, they don’t always stay up. This tends to be based on the shape of people’s bodies, and the fabric used. Those with a larger chest can usually keep their tops up, while others are constantly tugging at theirs.

Apparently, the best way to deal with this common clothing issue is with a little bit of double-sided fashion tape. This way you can make sure your neckline isn’t going anywhere.

People have since noticed that Princess Diana’s iconic ’80s wedding dress was rather wrinkled. This was because the Princess of Wales was stuffed into a carriage with her dress crinkled around her. Alas, the look was a hit anyway.

This person has a similar issue. Their wedding gown is made from crepe which quickly creases. If this bride wants to keep her dress looking ironed, she’ll need to stay upright all day long. Hopefully somebody brought a portable iron.

Surprisingly, though polo necks and turtle necks were the staples of moms in the ’90s, they’re now back in style. It’s important to remember to put your polo neck on first so as not to destroy your hair and makeup.

You see, if you spend ages perfecting your contour and then pull a polo neck on top, your makeup will rub off onto it. Likewise, if you finally get your hair sitting in place, then put on your tight necked sweater, it’s not going to last!

Women have complained about this particular clothing problem for years now. And why would we stop? We deserve pockets! Basically, while men’s clothing has pockets, women’s clothing usually doesn’t. Instead, women get fake pockets just for decoration. Typical, right? These fake pockets often have real zippers or buttons, giving us false hope.

When women do get pockets, they tend to be shallower and smaller than the men’s equivalent. Don’t designers know that women also need to shove things in their back pockets? Sometimes purses aren’t enough!

Now, this problem really grinds our gears. When we get a wonderful new pair of sweatpants, leggings, or jeans, we quickly notice the silhouette changing. You see, soft cozy sweats change shape when your knee repeatedly moves in them, creating space around the knee area.

This results in the appearance of baggy knees, with big loose swathes of material around the knee. Presumably because of the fabric used, some pants become totally unwearable once this happens.

There are numerous ways to destroy a white item of clothing. This is so true that lots of people just don’t bother buying or wearing white because they know they won’t be able to keep it clean. However, even the people that do wear white can end up with yellow armpit stains.

This is supposedly caused by body salts or storing clothing wrongly. While chlorine bleach would remove the stain, it can also go yellow if used too much.

Overalls, rompers, and jumpsuits are usually sold as practical items of clothing. After all, they’re a top and pants in one so you don’t need to pick a matching outfit when you wear them. Plus, they look laidback and casual, so they’re perfect for working at home or lounging around.

The thing is, the idea that these items are practical is false. Any woman that’s worn dungarees and then tried to use the bathroom in a rush knows that. Plus, it’s freezing to strip every time!

When you buy a pair of dark jeans, the labels usually warns you about the dye. You see, these jeans could slightly change color after being washed, or they could rub off onto other items. That’s just what’s happened here.

This person has paired a light colored purse with indigo denim jeans and suffered the consequences. All the rubbing between the two items has caused the denim dye to ruin the white purse. Time to buy a navy one!

Lots of people share bedrooms as kids, or when they live at home. This can have its ups and downs. While some people love the company of a sibling in their space, others wish they could just get some peace and quiet.

This person shares a closet with two of their siblings and they’re clearly very messy. This picture shows a hanging rail of clothing and a pretty impressive floordrobe (wardrobe on the floor) but none of it actually belongs to this person. Our condolences.

Though high heels are undeniably not as comfortable as flats, plenty of people wear them anyway. Stilettos, pumps, and towering sandals are difficult enough to walk in on solid ground — but even worse on grass, cobblestones, or pebbles. With each step the wearer risks breaking an ankle, or getting wedged in the ground.

Thankfully, the world has finally caught up with this problem. Now, you can buy stoppers that go over the heel and prevent it from sliding into the mud.

At the moment, the biggest trend in swimwear is cutouts. In fact, Kylie Jenner’s upcoming swimwear collection is rumored to have tons of them. This trend is pretty limiting, as most people aren’t comfortable with large sections of skin exposed. It’s a trend that’s most popular amongst influencers.

This picture shows another problem with cutout swimwear. This person donned a lace-up bathing suit and ended up with some lattice shaped burns on her chest. Now, that’s even worse than a tan line.

Lots of stores put tags on their clothing to stop people from shoplifting. Some of these are electronic and send off the store’s alarms. Others spill ink on the item so the thief can’t use or resell what they’ve taken. All of this makes sense when it comes to shoplifting.

The problem arises when employees forget to remove these tags from actual customers. This means shoppers get home to wear their new item and discover it’s unwearable. Not fair!

We’ve seen the constantly slipping strapless top, and this is the inverse problem. People that wear bodycon dresses or skirts know that their hemline isn’t likely to stay in place. Rather, every time you take a step, your dress will shimmy upwards, making it look shorter and shorter.

It’s not a great look to walk around constantly tugging at your hemline. In fact, it makes people think that you’re uncomfortable with the length of your own skirt.

Here’s something that should be banned from clothing — those weird loops inside every single thing we own. These little looped ribbons are to help hang clothing up. You put the loops around the center of a hanger and that makes sure the item won’t fall off. This is more of a thing in stores than in people’s homes.

Generally, people only encounter these ribbon loops when they’re hanging out of their neckline or armpit. Can we just stop making them already?

Fans of knitwear know how crushing it is to end up with a bally sweater. This phenomenon is known by several names, with some calling it “pilling” and “pill balls.” Basically, it’s when your sweaters become covered in tiny little balls that you can’t help but pick off.

There are ways to resolve this issue without just throwing the clothing away. You can carefully shave the pills with a razor, or lay the garment on a flat surface and use a pumice stone.

We’ve already discussed the potential problems of polo necks, but about regular necks? For some reason, some companies make ridiculously small neck holes that are very difficult to get into. This person tried to put on their new Pretty Little Thing top and instead got trapped inside. Seriously, that neck hole looks tiny.

This clothing problem is even worse when it happens in a changing room. No-one wants to be sweaty and stuck in something that won’t come off!

Many people spend years trying to find the perfect pair of jeans or leggings. You want to silhouette to be right, the fabric to be comfy, and the design to be wearable. Usually, once you find them, you wear them over and over and over again.

This repeated wear leads to holes like this one. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen this exact hole caused by thigh friction. In some corners, this is affectionately referred to as “chub rub.”

In general, it seems like clothing is made for people that don’t really exist. While it’s designed for and initially worn by models, fashion then trickles down to ordinary people. And ordinary people have ordinary bodies!

Belts and shoe straps usually have one set of pre-made holes that bear no relation to actual human bodies. This means that if you have narrow feet, tough luck! A thick waist? Not for you! These items are made for imaginary people with imaginary proportions.

This clothing problem should have died out by now, but alas, it’s still here. In years gone by it was seen as trashy to have a bra strap showing, but now it’s fairly normal. However, having one strap hanging down is still seen as sloppy.

Many people seem to forget that these straps are adjustable so you can just tighten them. Of course, then you can get stuck with the opposite problem — a bra strap digging into your shoulder.

No matter where we put our dirty socks at the end of the day, they somehow don’t make it back to us in one piece. Even if we place our socks carefully in the laundry basket and wash everything together, we’ll still end up with a random sock.

Then, if you decide to grab an odd set in a rush, you just perpetuate the problem. Soon, you can’t remember having paired socks, and have to buy some new ones.

We’ll admit that this picture isn’t exactly pleasant to look at. However, it is a picture of someone’s feet covered in fluff, rather than their feet covered in mud and soot. And we think that helps things.

This snap is showing yet another clothing problem. When you wear new socks (or use a new towel), you’ll end up covered in fluff. Washing items before wearing them gets rid of this problem, but then you miss out on the joy of slipping on new socks.

We’ve seen yellow pit-stains on white shirts so far, but we haven’t even mentioned deodorant marks. This is when you apply deodorant and then somehow it ends up staining your clothing. Even when you’re extra careful, somehow the white powder makes its way onto the exterior of your clothing.

Thankfully, some deodorant companies have developed a no stain formula. Though apparently you can remove these stains by dabbing them with some nylon pantyhose. You heard it here first!

We’ve ranted and raved about fake pockets, and we’re going to do just the same for decorative drawstrings. You see, drawstrings are rather useful things. If your shorts are a little too loose, you can pull them nice and tight. If your joggers are looking baggy, you can put them in place by cinching in the waist.

So, why then would manufacturers put fake drawstrings on their clothing? This just reminds us that our clothing is actually missing a feature.

So far on our list of clothing troubles, we’ve seen a rather impressive floordrobe. Of course, this is when your clothes migrate from the wardrobe, to your body, to the floor. Many floordrobe experts know exactly where each item is, even though it looks like chaos to everyone else.

From the looks of this picture, we’d guess that these clothes are piled on top of a chair. It’s a year’s long problem that we can’t put our clothes away — thank goodness for empty surfaces!

Jewelry is always in fashion; it just depends on what the trends are each season. One persistent problem that’s cropped up over the years is keeping a jewelry clasp where it belongs. Particularly in the cases of necklaces, clasps often shimmy around and hang with whatever’s on the chain.

This isn’t the end of the world, it’s just really annoying. Thankfully, now you can buy balance beads that keep the clasp where it belongs — at the nape of your neck.

We’ve called for the canceling of annoying ribbon loops inside clothing. And now we’re calling for the canceling of these little plastic tags attached to clothing labels. These pesky plastic tags hold paper tags in place, and are a nightmare to remove.

When you firmly pull a label off, it often leaves behind the plastic tag. Then, when you try to firmly pull that out, it can end up causing a fray, or even a small hole. Plus, they dig into our skin!

While we’re at it, let’s talk about useless store hangers. This example comes without a hook, making it pretty pointless. Stores also produce specific hangers for underwear that are useless once brought home. Obviously, this is a massive waste of plastic — there must be a better way!

In many countries, clerks now ask if you’d like to take the hanger home. In some cases, this is convenient. However, when the hanger looks like this, it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

There are various different names for high heels depending on their style. These are high heeled pumps with a pointed toe. For some, they would be stilettos since their heel is pretty high. For others, they would be winkle pickers, named by the 1950s British rock ‘n’ rollers who wore them.

One problem with winkle pickers is that you can end up with a crease across the toe. Depending on how you move your foot, your pointy shoes can end up rather ruined by an ugly mark.

Washing machines were amazing inventions that massively affected women’s lives when they were first released. Before domestic washing machines, women had to wash clothing by hand, and dry them using punishing tools like a mangle. Now, we’re lucky we can just stuff our clothing in the machine, push a button, and come back later.

In saying that, modern laundry machines do have some issues. For one, they can tangle all of your clothing into a jumbled mass like this one.

Generally, when you buy something made of suede, you should also buy some suede protector. This is something most people think of when they buy suede, but don’t actually follow through on. Come on! We have better things to do than buy suede protector!

Sadly, this negligence results in some sad looking suede. Because the fabric is leather rubbed until it’s velvety, this same material can be damaged by water. Thankfully, it can be fixed if you’re quick!

For some reason or another, pantyhose are a normal item of clothing that we’re expected to wear. We get why they’re necessary, but they seem practically disposable because they rip so often. All it takes is a long finger nail or a skirt zipper and suddenly your pantyhose are useless.

This means that when you wear pantyhose it only makes sense to carry another pair with you. That way, you can slip into a new set when you inevitably ruin the first.

We like to think that if we designed the clothes dryer, we’d come up with a better name for the settings. Look, we know that sounds arrogant, but hear us out. You see, we’d like it if we could set the dryer to a certain temperature.

You could start low, and then gradually increase when necessary. Instead, we’re faced with vague terms like “cupboard dry,” “extra dry,” and “damp dry.” Surely dry is dry is dry, right?

It’s time to debunk a popular myth. Most people believe that wearing cheap jewelry can turn your skin green. This is basically the case, but it’s actually because of a chemical reaction that happens between your skin and the metal in the jewelry.

So, if you’re wearing jewelry that’s made from copper, oxidation happens, and that makes your skin go green. This can happen with other metals too, and is usually caused by skin acids or body lotions. This isn’t the same as an allergic reaction.

We understand why labels are necessary. Really, we do. We know that they contain important information about washing. But maybe that could go on the internet? After all, does anyone really peer at those tiny symbols before stuffing their jeans in the laundry?

Some clothing labels can be very irritating. They can rub the inside of your leg, arm or back. Or, they can hang outside of your clothes making you look like a fool! We say banish them.

Here’s a piece of clothing that’s managed to injure the person that owns out. We’d bet this nice new shirt came from a fancy store and was folded up along neat creases. We’d guess that these pins were used to keep the shirt in place, and someone forgot to remove them at the register.

Or, maybe this person tried on their new shirt and had it tailored to fit them. Then, they left with a new shirt packed full of pins. Sounds painful!

Zippers are pretty great. We’d take them over Velcro any day, and they’re on par with buttons too. Although, once a zipper loses its zip, it usually becomes pretty redundant. In these situations, you’re stuck pointlessly tugging at a zipper that will never zip again.

Other times, broken zippers will open and close, but only along one side of its zig-zag tracks. In these cases, the zipper is mocking us, gliding up and down knowing its zipping days are gone.

We’ve all been there over the past few years. We’re in a store, and we’re casually looking through some t-shirts. Suddenly, we see something we like in a color we love, and we reach to take it from the rail.

Only then do we realize that our cute new staple tee is covered in a brash slogan that means nothing. Enough already! We’ll take slogans when you have something to say, but otherwise let’s just stick to plain tees.

Whether you’re a laundry master or not, we’ve all experienced this exact situation at least once in our lives. You’ve just finished a load of wash that you now want to throw in the dryer.

When you open the door to the washing machine, though, you notice one sock hanging out by its lonesome. You pull the sock out and, of course, it’s sopping wet. While it’s not the end of the world, it can put quite a damp(er) on your day. Ha, get it?

Drying racks are a great solution for those that don’t have access to a dryer. Still, there’s a certain method that you should follow when it comes to hanging your clothes on the rack.

Although this particular technique isn’t necessarily wrong — as the clothes will definitely dry — one t-shirt takes up an unnecessary amount of room that could be used to hang other articles of clothing or linens. If you live with someone, this could be a potential issue considering that you’ll have to share the rack. Well, unless you each buy your own, that is.

Man, if only this drawer was one inch wider! We’ve all been here, although we have to admit that we never thought of the most obvious solution — to put the shorts away vertically rather than horizontally.

That way, there’s no need to worry about creases! Perhaps this OP already thought of that but was just truly hoping that her dresser would be big enough. Alas, we can’t always get what we want!

Ugh! Just because “the customer is always right” doesn’t mean that they should be able to get away with something like this. Working in retail is hard enough as it is but having to deal with inconsiderate customers makes the job that much more challenging.

Take this poor OP, for example. They had just finished organizing this display only to return to it five minutes later and find it like this. What is wrong with people?!

This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen or spoken about this kind of issue, and it’s certainly not the last! We’re not entirely sure why manufacturers seem to have trouble understanding that we women also use pockets.

With that in mind, it would be highly appreciated if clothing companies began creating more functional pockets for the ladies of the world. After all, we’d like to be able to fit more in our pockets than just the tip of our finger.

This clothing mishap may not be totally apparent at first glance but upon closer inspection, you should notice a slight discrepancy. While the label says “The Essential V-Neck,” this t-shirt actually features a crew neckline.

Not the biggest deal, right? In fact, this could easily be Gap’s way of playing a joke on their customers. That’s what we’d like to think, at least — it would be pretty funny if they decided to do that.

There are just some mornings that you wake up totally out of it, even if you got a good night’s sleep. When you do wake up super groggy, it may take you more time than usual to complete certain tasks — from brushing your teeth to getting dressed.

This OP did everything she was supposed to do when she got out of bed but suffered from a brain fart along the way. Let’s just hope this “look” doesn’t become a fad.

We’ve already seen Gap mislabel their t-shirts so, naturally, we have to check out what kind of tricks Old Navy has up its so-called symmetrical sleeves. The woman here was stoked about wearing her newly-purchased Old Navy cardigan.

Unfortunately, that excitement was short-lived. Once she tried it on and realized just how lopsided it was, this Snapchat user couldn’t help but call Old Navy out. Our only question is, why didn’t she try the sweater on at the store before buying it?

Every woman knows this struggle all too well. You’ve just purchased yourself a new dress to spice up your wardrobe and you decide to wear it to work. Not a problem, right? Wrong! If it’s even slightly breezy out, you run the risk of flashing total strangers.

Sure — that doesn’t seem like a huge deal considering that you’ll probably never see them again. But, if you have any sense, you’ll still wear stockings or tights underneath that dress, as this gal did.

Let’s be real — this had to have been a pretty frustrating moment. After all, imagine that you ordered this dress online and had to wait weeks for it to arrive. When it finally does, you open the package only to discover that the item isn’t even in the right size.

Like the other clothing troubles on this list, it’s not the end of the world by any means. Still, when it keeps happening to you over and over again, something’s gotta give.

If you’re anything like us, then you spend a day every year getting rid of or donating clothes that you no longer wear or want. Once you’ve done that, you then set aside some time to organize the clothes that you did hold onto.

That, our friends, is what we call a successful spring cleaning — even if you’re not as meticulous as this OP. After all, they arranged their clothes by style and color. Not too shabby…

Fashion trends and fads constantly change. Ultimately, people are influenced by popular culture and everything that comes with it such as actors, musicians, athletes, influencers, and even royalty. So, it makes sense as to why fashion fluctuates so much.

However, it seems like — as time has gone on — crop tops are getting tinier and tinier. Ladies went from showing off a bit of their tummy to totally exposing their mid-drift. Now, though, they might as well wear no shirt at all. Why do clothing manufacturers think we all want to dress like Barbie?!

Ah, our eyes! First and foremost, sir, we hate to break it to you but your wife is totally right. Not only is this outfit completely and utterly unacceptable, but it’s also slightly embarrassing for your poor partner.

She obviously loves you for you — which is absolutely beautiful — but why would she want to walk around with you when you decided to stick stripes and plaid together?! Too…many…patterns!

To be honest, we don’t think that a slightly creased or wrinkled skirt will make or break your chances of landing a job. Still, we do understand why this gal was a bit apprehensive about her interview.

After all, you want to do the very best you can during an interview — and, in order to do your very best, you have to feel that way too! That doesn’t mean, though, that you should lose hope if your outfit does have a few crinkles.

It has to be pretty inconvenient having to live out of a box because you don’t have enough storage space. We’ve all heard the expression, “Living out of boxes,” which refers to those that have moved into a new place but have yet to unpack, meaning that their possessions are still packed away.

In the case of this OP, they’ve been fully moved in for quite some time now — to the point that they’re fully unpacked… well, except for one box.

Cat lovers know that the downside of enjoying feline company is cat hair. You see, when you have a kitty, they tend to rub themselves all over you. Or, if they aren’t the cuddling type, they’ll rub themselves all over your clothing instead. No matter where it is.

So, cat owners can be having a great time and suddenly realize that they’re coated head to toe in cat hair. And it turns out other people aren’t really into that…

Women get the raw end of the deal pretty often. After all, we’re supposed to be fashion’s main consumers, so why can’t we get a proper t-shirt? Even when women go to high end stores, its common to try on a shirt and find that it’s actually see-through.

This means women have to buy, not just a t-shirt, but a slip, bodysuit or camisole to go underneath it. That way, we have to spend even more money. It’s a scam!

Last but not least, we turn to the dangerous lack of inside pockets in women’s jackets. This is just like the fake pockets problem, and the decorative drawstring problem. Essentially, designers like women to wear pretty things, but not to have practical things.

Well, we’ve got news for them — fashion can be both pretty and practical. While we know that women traditionally carry purses, we think we deserve the option of a nice inside blazer pocket. Get it sorted!

Alright, let’s start off with something most of us can get behind. When an item is labeled “dry clean only,” we’re pretty confident it will never be washed. That might sound a little gross, but actually, it’s just realistic.

You see, if an item can only be dry cleaned, then we’re much more likely to just dab stains off with a wet cloth. Who has the time to take their clothing to a dry cleaner? We’re not movie characters!

Sure, sure — clothes dryers are great inventions, but only if they’re used properly. For lots of us, putting our clothes in the dryer is a gamble, and we don’t know what we’ll get back. While we love the idea of warm, gently tumbled clothing, we don’t love the reality of shrunken, itchy items.

It seems that’s different materials react differently in the dryer. Because of this, some fabrics shrink after being tossed around in a hot, enclosed area.

Online catfishing has become more and more common as social media use has grown in the last two decades. While the term usually refers to a type of online scam, where a person pretends to be someone else, these people chose to take part in the “Catfish Challenge.” They’re completely upfront about their “catfishing,” as they share with us how they’ve achieved their transformations. Take a look behind the curtain and see how these makeover masters transfigure themselves into someone else entirely.

Female beauty standards have recently become so crazy that most of us are actually worried about leaving the house without any makeup on. Many choose a basic and quick cosmetics routine — mostly to hide our natural blemishes with some concealer, a hint of eyeliner, and a touch of blush.

This woman, though, could be a professional makeup artist. She has clearly figured out how to completely change her face with her expert use of bronzer, especially on her neck and collarbone.

While we believe everyone is beautiful in their own unique way, some cultures praise certain features more than others. In many Asian countries, for example, the China-doll look is considered the most beautiful, while more coarse features are seen as plain.

This lady clearly knows a few secret tricks in order to turn her naturally wider face into the narrow, smooth ideal. The only way we can tell it’s the same person is by her shirt, and the fact that she has the same hair color in both photos.

With the rise of LGBTQ+ culture in the mainstream, we’ve seen many drag queens become household names. While much of the point of a drag queen’s makeup look is to turn a masculine face into a more feminine one, we think this queen has gone above and beyond.

If we saw the lady on the right out in our neighborhood, we would have never guessed that she had started out as a shockingly handsome, mustachioed man! After all that hard work, this Queen is ready for her closeup!

You know what? Sometimes, we just want to go all out and change our entire look. Like Cinderella, when we go out to the clubs, we occasionally want to party as a completely different person. This master shapeshifter obviously has the same idea.

This transformation must have taken tons of skill and time for her to pull it off so perfectly. We cannot get over the difference between the sweet homebody to the left, and the captivating glamazon on the right.

Makeup has become an integral part of most ladies’ morning routines — so much so that some need to go through it to wake up, just like they would a cup of coffee. This woman looks half asleep in the left picture, with her eyes tired and her mouth missing a smile.

The second picture looks like her much perkier sister. Her eyes have come alive thanks to her wonderful use of false eyelashes and bronze eye shadow, which perfectly complement her dusty orange, full lips.

One of the best things about makeup is that, if done right, it has the power to make us feel so much more confident. This makeover definitely looks like it has raised this beautiful lady’s outlook on herself — from frumpy to fabulous.

While, yes, her brand new hair color and style help transform her into a new person, it’s absolutely the incredible makeup that makes her shine bright. You can see that that dramatic red lip and those sculpted eyebrows have really added a sparkle to her eyes.

It’s amazing how these transformations make us feel like we’re looking at two different people with completely different styles and aesthetics. This woman’s makeover takes us from memories of our childhood friend’s punkish sister to fangirling over a goth rockstar.

The dark green hair, the intricate choker, the baby pink lips, and those dramatic eyes are serving rock glam for days! And just look at the way she has managed to completely change the shape of her nose with just some prosthetics and makeup.

Blotchy skin and a large chin are perfectly normal body features, but sometimes, we get self-conscious about having other people see them on us. There are a few ways to deal with this insecurity.

Try to find a way to live with it, learn to take pictures from the angles that flatter you most, or do what this woman did — somehow completely change your face into this smokey blonde goddess. While we know they’re the same person at really different angles, it still completely fooled us.

The endless generational clash has recently been sparked again — this time by hair. While Millennials are firmly “team side part,” Gen Z have been raising their voices in protest to promote the middle part. This face-transformer-extraordinaire rocks both looks.

We’re just amazed at how differently her hair frames her face after she has sculpted her jaw and nose to perfection. And those brows have undergone such a change, they make her look unrecognizable. So, side or middle… what team are you on?

Say it with us — Never. Skip. Your. Primer. Look no further than our next example to see what the proper use of primer can do for you, as well as what foundation and contouring can do to transform your face completely.

This beautiful lady’s clever use of makeup has turned her into a completely different person. We love how, except for the amazing dramatic makeup highlighting her mesmerizing eyes, the rest of her face is only enhanced by her expert use of the basics.

While makeup is most commonly used to hide the things we dislike about our features or emphasize the features that we do like, it can also be used to completely alter other parts of our face to make us look different. This woman has perfected the techniques of contouring and highlighting to totally change the shape of her nose.

She’s also found a way to change the style of her eyebrows entirely. Plus, with the clever use of some dark brown lip pencil, she has made her lips pop even with her nude lipstick. Truly flawless.

It’s amazing what a bit of color coordination between your hair, makeup, and accessories can do for a person. From a drabby wallflower, this girl has transformed — with a few alterations and clever use of the color pink (clearly a favorite) — into an ethereal fairy-queen.

We love how her beautifully drawn, pink lips and eyeshadow are perfectly complemented by her choice of foundation. And with all that pink, it was a really smart choice to resist putting on some pink blush.

We love watching men flawlessly transform into beautiful women. Obviously, we’re all jealous of this man’s incredible talent at makeup and wig application; proudly flying that gender-fluid flag as he changes before our very eyes into this gorgeous girl.

We can’t get over the choice of accessories, with those glasses working perfectly with the yellow strips in her hair. With that sassy look and impeccable sense of style, this queen is giving us some serious Mean Girls vibes. Which clique do you think she’d be a part of?

Some makeup transformations are so crazy and different that they feel like magic must have been involved. This girl won the lottery when they were assigning fairy godmothers. From Cinderella to the belle of the ball, we just cannot believe these pictures feature the same person.

But, they really are (we checked)! The most incredible difference here has to be the eyes. Not only is she rocking those colored contacts but she also somehow added a crease to her eye that wasn’t there before.

Sometimes, the difference between meh and wow can be as simple as high-quality photography. This one looks like two girls with very different skin tones, but really, it’s just amazing to see what some good lighting and foundation can accomplish.

Plus, that peacock-inspired ombre eyeshadow really brings a glowing shine to her beautiful eyes, and that eyeliner completely changes the shape of her eyes making them look wider. We also love the way she countered her cheekbones to complete the look.

While skin blemishes are absolutely normal, we are often made to feel self-conscious and embarrassed by them. This is why makeup, when done right for our unique features, can give us such a boost in confidence. This lady’s makeover has been done to perfection.

Just look at the change in her expression from one photo to the other. In the right photo, she’s practically glowing with confidence! We hope that, as she gains more and more self-assurance, she’ll have this shine to her without the makeup.

As every DIYer would tell you in a heartbeat, cello tape is probably one of the most useful things in the world. It has a million and one uses but we had zero idea that it could be used to change the shape of our face.

Check out this crafty girl who has managed to transform the way she looks with clever use of the DIY staple, combined with some smartly applied makeup. We wonder what other DIY tricks this lady has hidden up her sleeve.

Many medical conditions affect our looks, which can change the way we feel about ourselves. This girl got an amazing, confidence-boosting makeover after beating a serious illness that left her feeling insecure about her appearance.

We love how the makeover was used to enhance her beautiful natural features, making her look happy and healthy. The makeup around her eyes just brings out the pure radiance of this fabulous fighter. We wish her years of beautiful health.

From actresses to fashionistas, many women have discovered the power of a fierce red lipstick. This girl has clearly mastered the art of bold lip, and she has used this skill to marvelously transform her face.

While the eye is drawn to that ombre lip shade, her eyes are also done up to perfection, with a thick eyeliner that creates the illusion of an eye fold. We would have never guessed such seemingly small changes could create such a big difference.

From creating the right background to choosing the perfect angle, it really is amazing to see how much thought and creativity are put into producing a flattering photo for social media. Thanks to all these manipulations, sometimes the end product looks nothing like what we started with.

It looks like this TikToker is just as surprised by the stark contrast between both photos, as we are. We will keep repeating it if we have to — it’s all about those flattering angles.

All we can really say is that this girl must be a witch. She has completely transformed her face — to the point that, if she wasn’t wearing the same shirt and circlet on her head, we would have never known it was her.

It’s amazing for us to see how much her entire look changes with the addition of false lashes and the contouring makeup around her face. We do love the ethereal vibe she has achieved with her makeover.

We love some fabulous cross-dressing efforts. Seeing before and after pictures featuring what looks like a brother and sister, well, it just brings a flutter of joy into our hearts. This poster has clearly won the good-looks lottery no matter what style they’re going for.

And check out the makeup on those beautiful smoky eyes. They’re bringing all the drama into this otherwise pretty but plain made-over look. And those brows are a perfect frame for this artistic creation. We love to see it.

While makeup can make us feel more confident, it can also make us feel so much more fierce. It gives us the courage to feel like we can take on anything and everything in the world and slay every challenge in our paths.

‘Cause if a girl can go from being a ten to being a thousand like this poster can, then she can do anything! Especially when she’s armed with sparkly eyes, a blazing wig, and an epic accessory.

Who doesn’t love some chubby cheeks to smoosh,smooch, and pinch? While especially cute on babies, plump cheeks are still adorable on grown people too. But, they don’t often make us feel hot or alluring.

The power of transformative makeup is there for just that occasion. A light foundation with a strong contouring line — blended to perfection, of course — can make all the difference. This woman has transfigured herself from “wanting to cuddle” to “slaying at the club.”

Changing our hair, even just a little bit, can make a world of difference both in the way we feel about ourselves — but also in the way others see us. That’s why the difference between these two photos is so stark.

Getting her hair and eyebrows done in the same dazzling crimson shade was absolutely the right choice in order to bring out this lady’s mesmerizing, made-up eyes. And while we love her glasses, we definitely think she looks like a totally different person without them.

We’ve already said how much we love to see a masculine to feminine look transformation, but this poster’s sass just does it for us in a whole new way. This queen knows how to rock both his short hair and her long, luscious locks.

But, what truly takes the cake for us is that this queen knows exactly what her best colors are. That light lilac top instantly made us fall in love, and along with those dramatic earrings, this gal sure knows how to accessorize.

Can we say again how amazed we are? We mean, a smart application of makeup, a pretty hairstyle, and a flattering picture angle can completely change the way someone looks! This poster makes us want to shout it from the rooftops.

The lighter hair, expertly-drawn eyebrows, and the illusion of plumper lips created by that beautiful lipstick (we want the name of that shade) — it all comes together to make the sweet woman on the left look like an enchanting princess after her transformation on the right.

Growing up watching Disney movies, we all sometimes wished we looked like a fairy or princess. While most of us don’t have the skills to pull off such a transformation, this poster clearly does.

She has shared a behind-the-scenes candid look at how she applies the prosthetic silicone that morphs the shape of her nose from flat and wide to straight and narrow. This, along with the unique makeup she has applied to her eyes, makes her look like a creature out of a fairytale.

We’re so freaking amazed by how seemingly easily these people create all these incredible illusions. This social media manipulator is a perfect example of that. She has got us completely fooled with what looks like very little effort.

Her makeup look is really super simple, but with just a bit of play with her angles and that flawless eyeshadow and brow pencil execution, we would never have guessed she was the same girl as the one on the left.

Usually, when we talk about sculpting in the context of makeup looks, we’re referring to using contour and highlighter to create depth in the face where there’s usually very little or none at all of it. But, it seems this lady has other thoughts.

She has literally used a material that looks like sculpt-a-mold (a clay-like paste that hardens like plaster when dried) to literally create a pointed chin for herself and reshape her nose into a straight line.

It’s amazing what a change of clothes from a t-shirt to a pretty dress and some fluffy hair can do for your feeling of confidence. Really, half the fun in this transformation is the sassy way this drag queen is posing for the camera.

While we’re usually very against the dreaded duck face, we think we might have to make an exception for this look. She’s just way too cute and cool with that expression for us to make fun of her!

While we would like the world to believe we woke up looking like the flawless, impeccable women that we are, sadly it just isn’t true. When we wake up, we all really look like the sweet girl on the left — hair up, blotches showing.

But, what we would love to look like every morning is that fabulous woman on the right. She looks like she has got this life thing down. While we know it’s an illusion, we still can’t help but want to be just like her.

Did you know, in olden times, being pale was considered the most beautiful complexion because it meant you didn’t work outside in the hot sun? Today, though, with most of us being indoors constantly, tanned skin has become a sign of wealth, meaning you have the time and money to spend on vacation.

This woman has found a way to have the best of both worlds — naturally, she’s super pale, but when she wants to transform into a tanned glamazon, she picks up her magical makeup and blends to perfection.

We cannot say this enough — we love an ombre makeup look! And the one this queen has created on her eyes is especially beautiful, making us feel like we’re looking into a warm tropical sunset on the beach somewhere exotic.

She has also paired it perfectly with that wig and the unique design of her dress. We would have never known just moments before she was a cute dude in a nerdy t-shirt. Their styles just couldn’t be any more different.

These kinds of transformations can often draw out negative comments from followers on social media. This next one had the comment on her post calling her a liar, saying this poster was lying and there was no way these two pictures were of the same girl.

While, yes, they look like complete opposites — like people from different worlds — we can assure you that these photos are indeed of the same person. Crazy, we know, but you wouldn’t believe how much good lighting and a flattering angle can change your look.

Part of the fun of makeup is that it lets us try a bunch of different styles, so that we can find the aesthetic that suits us best and makes us feel the most comfortable and confident people that we can be. Some styles can make us look like a totally different person.

This woman’s transformation from a tired housewife to an edgy punk certainly manages to do that. That fierce eyeliner, next to the cool drawn brow partition, just makes this change all the more surprising.

We can all agree that the most alluring cartoon character ever drawn is, without a doubt, Jessica Rabbit from Disney’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit (great movie, by the way, go watch it).

The woman on the right — with her hair parted and draped in beautiful curls on her shoulder, plus her cherry red lips — reminds us of the animated character. The woman on the left looks… less like a movie star. She’s still absolutely pretty, she just looks like she isn’t part of the same movie.

Anime, the Japanese animation style, is known to have its characters drawn with very small features — except for their eyes, which are made extra big so that their expressions are easier to understand.

It looks like this TikToker tried to capture that aesthetic style in her transformation. We think she absolutely managed to do that. She has completely changed her look from a human girl, into an anime main character. We would have never guessed it was her in all three photos.

We all love watching a makeover scene in movies, but it’s so much cooler seeing it happen to someone in real life. This pretty, plain jane — with the clever use of bronzer and blush — has been transformed into a mesmerizing supermodel.

We’re in awe of this unbelievable change. It really is amazing what a few minor (and slightly more major) non-permanent tweaks can do to change a person so completely that we can barely recognize her.

Cleopatra had the reputation of being one of the most beautiful and shrewd rulers and women of the old world. But look out, Cleo! This fierce woman on the right — with her fierce “Cleopatra hairstyle,” is definitely bringing you some competition.

This woman knows exactly how to perfectly enhance her natural sharp features to the point where she is unrecognizable. Check out that exquisite use of blush and contour to create those dramatic cheekbones. Cleo’s got nothing on you, Lady!

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They also say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. So why not combine them and make sure your eyelashes are unforgettable. This is exactly how this woman achieved her manipulation.

Naturally, she clearly has very light-colored, short lashes, but with the help of some good mascara, and maybe some false lashes, she has created a dramatic presentation that makes her look nothing like she normally would.

Women are constantly told to smile more. Well, this lady loves to smile. While she has a condition that has left her without a toothy grin, it allows her to transform into a completely different person when she chooses to put in her dentures and flaunt that radiating smile.

We also love the care she took with her eyeshadow and the great job she did drawing her eyebrows beautifully. She is truly a master of the illusion and loves to show off her transformation skills. Keep smiling, rockstar!

Once more, for those in the back rows, bronzer and a good blending brush are your best tools when it comes to transformative illusions. This girl clearly gets what we are saying, and she is giving us a masterclass in how to do it right.

Along with the uniquely spiky lashes, those super plum dusty pink lips, the chunky chain, and the dramatic brows, this lady is slaying her transformed look. But we gotta say, we just love her natural toothy smile. XOXO

By now, can you all tell that some of these people are freaking magic? Well, in case you need one more reminder, check out this crazy transformation. This woman has somehow managed to change every single aspect of her face.

If we didn’t see the nose morph in front of our very eyes from its original wide shape to a straight one, we would have never believed it. Honestly, we still kind of don’t. But, that’s the beauty of these makeovers, you never know what you’re going to get.

While beauty standards and the restrictions that society puts on our outer appearance are a very serious matter, we love adding a bit of honesty and humor into the equation. This Instagram beauty expert clearly agrees.

She uploaded a reel of her before and after transformative makeup looks with the very truthful caption of “I love catfishing!” We love her confident smile and light take on the issue, showing us how much fun these changes can be.
