When it comes to makeup transformations on Instagram, there's pretty much an endless stream of talent. But few are able to truly morph into famous celebrities or characters the way Filipino actor and TV host Paolo Ballesteros does—and we're currently obsessing over his takes on Game of Thrones characters like Daenerys Targaryen, Melisandre, and Cersei Lannister.
Ballesteros got his start while hosting a Filipino TV show (Eat Bulaga!), where he'd watch contestants transform themselves for the show's transgender beauty competition. To learn the art, he studied YouTube videos and practiced doing his own makeup, so he could perform on the show. Fast forward to 2016, and he considers makeup his artistic avenue—an assessment backed up by the impressive 1.7 million followers he's racked up on Instagram.
Even Lena Headey, who plays Cersei, couldn't believe how incredible his copycat looks are. They apparently can take up to two hours to do! But enough talking about them. We'll let you get on to witnessing his makeup blood magic for yourself. Here are some of his best GoT-themed before-and-afters.
