The ultimate tools to enhance your features and add drama to your look lie in your makeup kit and we ladies keep on struggling to perfect the art of putting on a neat winged liner and make futile attempts to create a pout that looks real. But one person has mastered the art of transformation with make up and that person is not a woman.

Ariel Diaz, a freelance makeup artist from Palm Beach, Florida has taken Instagram by storm with his make up skills and looks that he creates:

He is a cosmetic illusionist who goes by the name The Vanity Diary on the photo-sharing platform. Most of his looks are inspired from Hollywood movies and music. The American artist is truly gifted as he pays great attention to detail and the most amazing part is that he shares the list of all the products he uses to create different looks.

Ariel does magic with makeup with such expertise that if not for facial hair we would not be able to tell if that is a man or a woman showing off the makeup:

Along with posting videos of flawless make up regularly, the famous MUA made sure to update his fans about his skin care regime showing off an equally flawless skin without makeup.

Ariel does not shave his facial hair because he thinks he looks 15 but we admire him for creating amazing make up looks and showing them off confidently with his beard.
