20+ Pictures That Show The Real Power Of Makeup

A few years ago, NikkieTutorials, was a well-known makeup artist on YouTube. She decided to show the world the power of makeup. She was tired of hearing people say mean things about people who like makeup. They were called shallow, self-centered, and basic. Then Nikkie decided to show the internet for the last time how makeup can change a person's face. She might not have known then, but many of the best beauty gurus would follow Nikkie's lead and do the same thing, creating what would become known as the makeup power challenge.

Soon, some of the best makeup artists on the internet took up the challenge and made videos to show how makeup can change a person. They tried to give people more confidence or show them how to show how they felt. But it didn't stop there. Other makeup artists also share on social media to show off their amazing "before" and "after" photos and talk about what makeup means to them.

Scroll down to see some of the coolest and most inspiring pictures from the makeup power challenge.
