20. Bella Hadid

Makeup holds the power to transform an every day look into a glamorous one. And it’s truly amazing to see the difference a little lip color and mascara can do— especially when we’re talking about celebrities.

These stars went from “the girl next door” to va-va-voom with a little cosmetics help.



The 20-year-old model exchanges her fresh-faced look for a more dramatic one during fashion shows.
