75 Pictures That Would Be Hard To Believe Unless They Were Captured On Camera
Coincidences have to be one of the best things about life. You know, those moments where you stop and think, “Did this ACTUALLY happen?” If you’re a fan of coincidences and impeccable timing, then we have in store for you 75 pictures that were caught at the exact right moment. Expect WTF?? moments, pictures that you have to see to believe, situations that are hilariously ironic, and much, much more.
1. “I walk through the park and suddenly I saw this.”
What’s going on here? We don’t know about you, but we’d place a heavy bet that this is some kind of satanic ritual. If you spin them fast enough, a portal to hell appears.
2. “I think a squirrel fell off my roof…”
The distinguishable ‘splat’ mark of the squirrel and the little footprints scampering away are enough to tell the story of what’s gone on here. Imagine hearing a thud outside and opening your door to this? We can’t stop laughing- though we’re glad that the squirrel is okay.
3. Kansas City fire department saves Kansas City police department from elevator.
Could you ever find yourself in a situation more ironic than this? We love how they all are happy about this, even those policemen in the elevator. You just know it’s going to be a story that’s shared between them for years.
4. “When your three year old tells man at McDonalds that his pants are falling down.” -friend’s photo
If there’s ever a situation where you wish the world would swallow you whole, then this would be it. We bet the dad pretended that he didn’t have a child anymore right about at this moment. “Whose kid is that? No, I have no idea why he’s talking to me…”
5. “My Aunt got some new neighbors who came by to introduce themselves today.”
These beavers are the kind of neighbors who would bring you round hampers of freshly baked bread and arrange couple’s bingo nights when you’ve only just met. “Hi I’m Bob, this is my wife Betty. We have the lodge up the river. ”
6. It’s as if it was meant to be
Did this man travel specifically to this beach for this picture? Or did he genuinely not know that there was an island off the coast that was shaped exactly the same as him? Maybe he had been waiting his whole life for this moment.
7. “When I Was 11 I Played Chess With Morgan Freeman.”
Well that is pretty cool. How many other people can say they played chess with God himself? In fact, how many people can even play chess?
8. “Upon arriving to help get my keys out of my car, the AAA guy locked his keys in his car and had to call AAA.”
The domino effect has hit this AA worker hard, and we bet he’s feeling more than a little embarrassed right about now. Of course, he had the tools to get the keys out of his car- but they were locked in his car. Rookie error.
9. “A Gorilla Flipped Me Off.”
So which one of the employees has taught this cheeky gorilla how to swear then? It’s probably not a good idea to offend a gorilla, since they’re way bigger that you! He knew EXACTLY what he was doing….
10. “Girlfriend saw a rainbow pigeon in London today.”
London isn’t exactly the kind of place you’d expect to see some kind of tropical bird- but a rainbow pigeon? We can somehow believe this. This fabulous pigeon is one of the prettiest birds we’ve ever seen, and we’re already itching for a reason to travel to London just to spot one for ourselves (once the pandemic is over, of course).
11. “So this happened in northern Wisconsin yesterday.”
How on earth did one bear climb up that spindly-looking tree without it breaking, let alone four of them? It begs the question of what they’re hiding from- and should the person on the ground be scared? After all, bears are some of the fiercest predators in the world- so if they’ve climbed that high into the tree, then it must be for good reason.
12. “After eight hours of balancing stones on the beaches of Lake Superior yesterday, I was exhausted. Then I saw this big white rock, got re-inspired, and created one more piece, the favorite of the day.”
Okay, so we have to give it to them- this is impressive. Though we’d suggest that next time, they take a tube of superglue, take the picture within five minutes, and spend the rest of their time enjoying that beautiful lake swimming, fishing or canoeing!
13. “Paddling In The Middle Of Monterey Bay, And This Guy Needed A Break.”
Sometimes otters get tired of swimming too, and this little guy didn’t see any objection to climbing up onto this man’s canoe! Just look at that sweet little face! Otterly adorable.
14. I Go Walking, After Midnight, Out In The Moonlight
Clearly this is just a Buffalo Girl coming out at night dancing by the light of the moon…. “Dude, easy on the high beams. I’m walkin’ here.”
15. Sandwich shop offers Liam Neeson free food, Liam Neeson show up.
In all honesty, if we were Liam Neeson, we would have done the exact same thing. Even if we had all the money in the world, we’re not going to turn down free food. We wonder how far he actually travelled to get to this place?
16. “Photo my mom took today. Deer slipping on ice.”
The expression, “Bambi on ice” wasn’t just coined by Disney. It is actually a pretty common fact that deer are clumsy when it comes to walking on ice- and we can’t help but laugh. This deer stood up and thought ” Whew, No one saw that I hope.”
17. “On The Boat With My Family And I Was Sitting On The Edge To Get A Good Photo Of The Water And Me And Two Dolphins And Its Calf Jumped Out Of The Water And This Image Was Caught At The Perfect Time.”
These dolphins provided the ULTIMATE photo bomb, and boy did it make a perfect photo. What a memory this person now has! It’s without a doubt way better than paying to have your photo taken with a captive dolphin!
18. “My girlfriend happened to catch all 3 stages in a ladybugs life cycle on a single leaf!”
Now we wouldn’t exactly call ourselves the most knowledgeable when it comes to nature, but we’d always just assumed that ladybugs were born just how they were. It’s the first time we’ve actually seen the first 2 stages- let alone knew they existed. You learn something new every day.
19. “Sorry class, my dog ate everyone’s homework.”
We’re pretty sure every teacher has encountered the ‘dog ate my homework’ excuse from one of his pupils- but what happens when it’s his dog who ate his students’ homework? He’s never going to be able to live this down. But at least he has a picture for evidence.
20. “Sitting on the couch with a headache and an ice pack on my head when my girlfriend tells me not to move.”
OK, that’s disturbing. Mr Donald Trump, is that you? “He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he know if you are using Twitter; please don’t for goodness sake!”
21. “Saw An Owl Hanging From One Wing On A Barb Wire Fence. I Ran In Rescue Of The Owl. It Was Tangled In One Of The Barbs So I Had To Cut The Wire With A Shears. When Finally Freed, It Practically Fell Into My Arms As If I Was Its Guardian. From There I Brought It To The Local DNR Office.”
We love seeing stories of people who have acted with compassion towards animals. The poor thing had probably been struggling for a while and was exhausted, but thankfully this man was able to save it. It says a lot about his character- what a hero!
22. “Heard something going on in the kitchen then heard screams of bloody murder. Walked in and saw this. A goat stuck in my trash can.”
So many questions would be running through our mind if we came across a goat in our trash can. Like, how did it get there in the first place? That’s what happens when you kid about (sorry).
23. “Mom told me the rooster was after her today. Had to check security camera to verify.”
Anyone who’s encountered an angry bird will tell you that they can be WAY more aggressive than you think. It turns out that roosters are very territorial, especially when there are hens around. We’d stay well away, just in case.
24. I had 3 different colored squirrels in my yard.
Wait… you can get white squirrels?! Our minds are blown! This is a phenomenal shot.
25. “Buddy of mine calls me to tell me he just rolled his jeep through a telephone pole. I said pics or it didn’t happen. He sent me this.”
This picture is so dramatic, that we’re amazed that the man was able to get out of his jeep in one piece! We can’t decide if we’re more impressed by the picture, or the fact that he could call his friend right after… “Hey…my jeep’s upside down in a field. I took out a telephone pole. You want pictures? Oh, okay! By the way both my legs are broken!”
26. “My buddy went to a wedding last weekend and this swan wouldn’t stop staring at him through the door.”
This swan was more than a little offended that she wasn’t invited to the wedding. Oh hello no. Those things are mean!! “It’s because I’m wearing white, isn’t it?”
27. “Proposed to my girlfriend and realized there is a heart in our shadows.”
When this man arranged for some romantic proposal pictures to be taken, nobody expected there to be a shadow of a love heart in the background! It’s like their love was meant to be.
28. “I Went Away To Nerd Fitness Camp And Really Took To The Archery Portion. In Some Freak Shot, I Managed To Shoot The Edge Of A Balloon Without Popping It. The Instructor Never Saw Anything Like It.”
Nerd Fitness Camp…now that’s interesting. I mean, you have to be super smart to shoot a balloon without managing to pop it! This girl should pretend that she knew exactly what she was doing.
29. “Hadn’t Seen My Bff In A Couple Of Years. After An 8 Hour Drive, I Got Out Of The Car As She Walked Out Of The House. In The Same Damn Shirt.”
This picture just goes to show that when you’re best friends, you never lose that psychic connection. Life might get in the way and it may be some time before you can meet up again (especially in these COVID times!) but if you’re true friends, then the connection will never be broken.
30. “Saw this caterpillar at work today that has little penguins on its back.”
For some reason, this caterpillar reminds us of one of those Christmas paper chains that you’d string up around your house as kids. It’s like he’s wearing a little sweatshirt!
31. Just happened to see a rainbow on Rainbow Blvd.”
What are the chances of this happening?! Rainbows are said to be the symbol of a blessing, so it’s like this person was doubly blessed to have come across this rainbow at Rainbow Blvd. Close your eyes and make a wish!
32. “Chuck Norris pinned by my dad.”
This is not unbelievable because it’s someone’s dad with Chuck Norris, it’s unbelievable because Chuck Norris got pinned. Someone must be really good at photoshop… Or CGi… Or miracles!!!
33. “A butterfly with ’89’ on the side of its wing landed on my shorts.”
Apparently, there is a whole species of butterfly that is called the 89’98 butterfly because of the pattern. How come we’ve never been lucky enough to see one of these before? What a beautiful little guy.
34. “My friend texted me saying she was watching a squirrel eat a pizza in a tree. I said, “Pics or it didn’t happen.” She replied with these…”
We can’t help feeling for some poor person who had a slice of pizza stolen from them by a squirrel. Someone is definitely hungry and cursing under their breath right about now! Squirrels are literally the devil in disguise.
35. “An Owl Flew Into My Car Once, In Las Vegas, While The Car Was Moving With The Windows Open. I Spent A Solid 3 Hours Figuring Out How To Get This Out Of My Car.”
We don’t know who was more shocked about this occurrence- the owl, or the driver. A towel or blanket is your friend when trying to capture a bird to put it outside, but if you don’t have one of those at hand, then resort to any method possible! Providing the owl is cool with it, of course.
36. “I love retail.”
This shirt actually seems to be in pretty good condition for being 17 years old, so we couldn’t be entirely mad at the person who took it back in. 45 days, 45 years. That’s easy to get confused…
37. “Went To An Ax Throwing Booth At A Regional Highland Games And Threw An Ax Into Another Ax That Was Already On The Target.”
If there was an axe-throwing Olympics, then this person would have no problems winning. How can someone’s shot be that good? We’re amazed!
38. How is that even possible?!
There’s no other explanation- this HAS to be photoshop. Apparently, research tells us that this is all some kind of optical illusion, and there isn’t actually a car there at all. Confused? Us too.
39. “So I’m In The Taco Bell Drive Through and He Jumps Through My Car Window and Into My Lap. Reddit Meet Jose!”
Congratulations, you now have a cat. In fact, José got a human. He has been chosen by his new master to serve him food and belly rubs.
40. “I was mowing my lawn and came across this pink grasshopper.”
This grasshopper is actually a katydid, and it’s said that the pink coloration of the katydid is the dominant color while the green is the recessive color. The more you know.
41. “After I poured milk into my coffee, I found Snoopy on the doghouse under the moon.”
How many people have had amazing pictures appear in their coffee cups and haven’t noticed? Amazing! Besides, everyone loves Snoopy.
42. “So this just happened.”
Anyone else really want to know the story behind this? Like, was it really possible for all three of those vehicles to break down? Or was this someone’s idea of a (pretty funny) joke?
43. “I was taking fresh air at the window when suddenly…”
We’re not sure this was quite the view this person had in mind when they went to the window for a breather. Though thankfully a bit of research tells us that this was actually a fake whale (phew!) It was being moved for an exposition or a theatre play, in Belgium, and made the news at the time.
44. “After sixteen years of driving past this sign, it finally happened.”
This person had been hoping and praying for the ‘s’ to lose power- and one day, their wish finally came true. That’s what you get for naming a store ‘Super Shoes.’
45. “Found a 94 year old dollar on the ground today.”
Wow, time travellers are really getting sloppy these days… Jokes aside though, how is this dollar only just being picked up? That wouldn’t last five minutes in our neighborhood.
46. “A buck decided to lay down by my university’s library windows.”
What a special moment! We’d have stayed there until the buck left. Class cancelled, must observe! They’re so beautiful.
47. “My bus driver looks almost exactly like Walter White from Breaking Bad.”
So this is what Walter White is doing these days? Somehow, we never thought bus driving would be his thing. “I AM THE ONE THAT DRIVES!”
48. “2 steps into walking down the aisle. He said ‘Goddamit Jeri, did my pants just fall down?’”
We’re laughing so hard at this. Like… Did he not feel a draft? The woman’s reaction is absolutely priceless. Anyone that can react with humor to a situation like that is awesome.
49. “I Was Playing With My Cat When This Happend. She’s Sucking Her “Thumb””
Have you ever seen anything more adorable? Not only is this cute but she has the most beautiful eyes! What a sweet little baby.
50. “I was buying coffee at the gas station this morning when I noticed this…”
The question is: did SHE notice? Because if she didn’t, we’d be a little worried. When they tell you that your hair looks like a rat’s nest you should probably check to see if something is actually nesting in it.
51. “Last fall I took a selfie with a Google car, today I found it on Google Maps.”
If this wasn’t your childhood dream, then you didn’t do childhood right. What could be cooler than being in a Google Maps picture? It’s like your legacy lives on forever. Well, at least until they decide to update the images.
52. “Normal day in Australia.. Just witnessed the local police in hot pursuit of two emus..”
Australia are you okay?? Being a police officer in the land down under must be one of the most interesting- if crazy- jobs you could do. You just never know what you’re going to get called up for!
53. “This happened unexpectedly to my dad’s friend in Idaho circa 1980 while he was leaning into his car to get something.”
Oh deer… If this guy tried to tell his friends that he had been spooned by a stag, then there’s absolutely no way that anyone would believe him. Luckily, he has the picture for proof.
54. “I Work As A Rocket Launch Photographer And I Place Cameras At The Launchpads At Cape Canaveral. When I Tell People That, They Usually Don’t Believe Me, So I Show Them My Photos. Sometimes They Still Don’t Believe Me.”
This is hands down the coolest job in the world. Like seriously, how do you get into something like this? That top picture is amazingly beautiful!
55. “My Mom Rehabilitates Large Cats, As In Lions Tigers Jaguars Cougars Etc… She Always Has Scratches On Her Arms And Legs And No One Ever Believed Our Family When She Told Them Why.”
Up next, for the world’s coolest jobs… Again, we’re not sure how exactly you’d get into being able to look after large cats and get paid for it, but we’re totally down! Where do we sign?
56. “My Dad And I Were Driving Down A Highway And Found His Doppelganger On A Billboard.”
They say everyone has a twin somewhere in the world, guess he found his. Hopefully it wasn’t an America’s Most Wanted billboard.
57. “Dude Just Picked Up A Goose And Casually Walked Away With It When I Was Feeding Ducks With My Kids. Turns Out He Raised The Geese From When They Were Babies And Just Holds Them About Every Day.”
To the majority of unsuspecting people, it would seem as if this man is stealing the geese. But what they actually don’t know is that he has a really special bond with them, after having looked after them from birth. How sweet!
58. “Found A Message In A Bottle While Kayaking In The Charles River In Boston. Some Girl Had Written A Funny, Raunchy Message And A Number On It. Called The Number Eventually, Met Up, Been Dating For Over 4 Years Now.”
Imagine telling your kids that this was how you’d met… no one would believe you! It had to be fate.
59. “A turkey has been trying to sneak into my wife’s store every morning for the past week. I didn’t believe her. She just sent me this pic.”
This turkey is planning a little Thanksgiving revenge. I wouldn’t get too close if I were him! We’ve only just had Christmas, and some people might still have roast turkey on their minds…
60. “I’ve been looking for this forever. Finally found it at my parents house. Here’s my twin brother eating pizza with some famous twins in 1991.”
According to the poster, “When I was in 10th grade my high school my friends didn’t believe that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen used to be friends with my twin brother and I.” No one believed him, so he searched through his old photos until he found some clear evidence! The lenghts you go to to prove a point…
61. “I once bought a disposable camera. There was a picture taken already.”
Apparently, when you assemble a camera, you take one photo to advance the film that was exposed while loading the camera. This ensures that the person who buys the camera can get their first photo on good film. We bet they weren’t expecting to see this, though!
62. “Went to change the decal on my license plate. Nope.”
We’re kind of impressed that they stuck around to take a picture. We’re not sure if it’s impressively brave or impressively stupid… It looks like they’re some sort of gang. “You came to wrong neighborhood!”
63. “Spotted this little guy holding on for dear life on my way into work this morning…”
The poor little guy is just waiting for the buffet to open! They’ve got some good stuff in there. “Didn’t know it would move, HELP.”
64. “I snuck in to a Volcom release party by wearing a grocery store receipt.”
You’d be surprised how easy it can be to sneak your way into events like this. You just gotta act like you belong. What a legend.
65. “Someone checked in a stick at the airport…”
Not many people know this, but this is actually a stick insect having a holiday on the cheap – it wisely kept it’s mouth and eyes shut to avoid detection. Will he ever get home to the family tree?
66. “Twin albino deer we saw in West Virginia!!”
This is the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen, and as it’s against the law to shoot albino deer, we don’t have to worry about their safety! The only shot they’ll receive, is a this camera snapshot. (See what we did there?)
67. “My wife met Chris Pratt….Anna Faris didn’t approve.”
That moment when you realize, YOU are the sidechick… In all seriousness though, we think this was simply just a poorly timed picture. There’s no way that Anna could be so mad about a fan picture!
68. “My grandpa kept telling me that he had 8 “gal pals” at his senior home. I didn’t believe him until I saw this picture hanging up on his fridge.”
This grandpa has serious game! Our favorite part of this picture has to be the gal pal at his left showing off her bikini body t-shirt. They look like a group of friends that we just have to be a part of!
69. “Looked out my window at work and saw this.”
This cop is a lot more brave than us! We wonder how the cows managed to get out in the first place? We think we’d leave this to the farmer.
70. “My Husband Left For Work One Morning, Took The Train. When He Got Back To The Car After A Long Day At Work He Found Our Bunny Sitting Under The Car In The Parking Lot. The Train Station Is A 20min Drive From Our Home, No Idea How It Got There! He Managed To Catch The Bunny, And Bring It Back Home.”
Maybe this rabbit just wanted to go for a ride. Or maybe he came out of a magic hat? The husband hadn’t realized that it was take your bunny to work day until now.
71. “The Missus saw a raccoon crossing the road this morning, so she slowed to let it pass… Then she lost track of it. Here’s where it ended up.”
That’s Rocket….he’s casually building a bomb. Who else loves Guardians of the Galaxy? If you don’t, you’ll probably have no idea what we’re on about.
72. Standing Dorito
This guy’s magic skills are wasted on being able to stand Doritos up like that. He needs to go buy a few dozen lottery tickets, ASAP! That’s really impressive OR a perfectly timed picture.
73. “I am your God, I’ve been here the whole time.”
This is so awesome, that we reckon Newton would be freaking out. If you look at it with a squint, it kind of looks like a hand doing the OK signal. Pretty cool, but also, this person must have a lot of time on their hands.
74. “Someone pretended to be Tom Cruise in a small chicken shop in North Eastern Thailand and is remembered there forever.”
He doesn’t even look close to Tom Cruise, but this chicken shop worker clearly had no idea. We love that this picture of a totally random guy will be stuck on their wall forever! We wonder if anyone has told them?
75. “Someone Somehow Managed to throw a Budweiser Bottle Inside the Wall of my University Campus Without Smashing it.”
As far as university students are concerned, this was probably someone’s greatest achievement. Who needs good grades, when you have ‘perfectly throwing a Budweiser Bottle inside walls’ as a skill? That would do great on a resume.

35+ Hilarious Relationship Things That You Should Send To Your Significant Other Right Now
Couples can make the rest of us roll our eyes.
From their gooey-eyed looks at each other, to being forced to listen to the story of how they met for the fifth time, people in love just have to show it off.
If you’re that couple, you might recognize some of these moments, even if you don’t always find them the cutest parts of being in a relationship.
Here are some of the more wholesome moments you’ve likely shared with our partners:
1. You’re each other’s cheerleaders
Being in a relationship means you have a built-in cheerleader for when you do anything remotely impressive.
2. You suck it up and accept that you’re in love, even when you’re mad
Being a little annoyed doesn’t mean you’re going to withhold your affection completely.
3. You feel a little overprotective of your partner
Sometimes friends don’t understand that you’ve already picked your person and so you overreact a little when they remind you there are plenty of other people out there in case you want to jump back into the dating pool.
4. Love can make you feel all melty
Sometimes you catch yourself looking at your partner just because.
5. Date nights start to look a lot different
Netflix and chill is a perfectly acceptable date night.
6. You love having your partner right there, all the time
Couples don’t always feel this way at the same time, but it’s ok. There are worse things in the world than trying to sleep while someone just wants to remind you how much they love you.
7. You understand that food is a necessary componenent of happiness
Ya gotta eat, even when you’re mad. A hangry partner is not a happy partner.
8. You start to look like the other person
Just take a deep breath before you launch into the matching track suits part of your relationship. Your friends are never going to let you forget it.
9. You tell everyone the story of how you met
You get two times to tell the story while the other person looks on like a lovesick puppy, then pack it in.
10. Expensive doesn’t necessarily equal romantic
It’s the thought that counts and not every date night needs to drain the bank account.
11. You get a little possessive
Love can do some weird things to our brains. As long as you keep it respectful towards your partner, admitting that you can still get jealous can make them realize just how stong your bond is.
12. You get that warm tingly feeling
That’s why they say loves makes you glow.
13. Food is love
When you know you found the one because they not only want you to have the large fries, but know it’s a good way to keep you from eating all of theirs and causing a fight.
14. You don’t always need to be made up to be beautiful to them
That doesn’t mean you should just give up, but it’s nice to get to that moment when you don’t need to hide until you’re hair or makeup is done so they only see you at your best.
15. You don’t worry about cheating
Your significant other can go out for a night with friends or appreciate someone else’s beauty and you have the confidence to know that that’s all it is.
16. You accept one of you is a bed hog
Lots of couples still disagree on who it is, but most of the time this can just be solved with an extra backup blanket and a little nudge. Pets are another story.
17. You give in and buy stuff you don’t need
Sometimes your other half just finds something they really have to have and you should just be glad it’s not a whole box of puppies.
18. You catch each other up on important pieces of pop culture
That feeling of being shocked and then overjoyed that you are going to get to introduce them to a song or movie that you love. Just don’t talk through it or demand that they love it. And if you’re the one being introduced to something new, you work up at least a little bit of enthusiasm.
19. You try to look adorable before asking for things
Just never let it get to the point where you’re shouting requests at each other.
20. You try your best on things that aren’t your strong suit
Again, it’s the thought that counts, and doing something nice for your sweetie, even if it doesn’t turn out perfectly, can turn into a great moment – as long as you both keep a sense of humor.
21. You have a favorite food
And that food plays an integral role in your relationship.
22. One of you tells cheesy jokes and the other one puts up with them
Just start making Valentine’s Day cards out of them and they’ll serve a purpose other than to make you pretend to laugh.
23. You’re ok being away from each other
Everybody needs some space. When you’re significant other is away, you can handle youself, even if you really miss them.
24. You want to kiss them every time you see them
It’s cute as long as they don’t mind that you see their face as a kiss magnet.
25. You put up with it all
When you’re around someone a lot, you’re bound to get annoying (or annoyed). Just take it in stride.
26. You find love cartoons for 6-year-olds funny
This one definitely doesn’t require being in a relationship.
27. You still get butterflies when you look at them
It’s always amazing when couple who have been together a long time still get that feeling when they see each other. Now that’s a good life goal.
28. You put up with each other’s singing
It might hurt your ears, but it warms your heart.
29. You don’t want to let them leave without a goodbye kiss
Sometimes it feels like bad luck to let them go without a kiss and an “I love you.”
30. You can picture being the same couple in 50 years
Growing old together requires a lot of patience, but if you’re really in love, you know you can make it work.
31. You don’t withold respect
You might be annoyed or mad, but that doesn’t mean you let your loved one walk in the rain.
32. You tear up when you remember how lucky you are to have found your person
Love can overwhelm you in the best ways.
33. You’re proud of how long you’ve been together
Not everyone can make it work. There’s nothing wrong with being proud if you did.
34. You work around them
If you can stay in love afer an airport delay, you’ve definitely got a good thing going.
35. You always remember birthdays
You don’t need a Facebook reminder to remember their special day. Extra points for remembering the week before so you can ask if there’s a special way they want to celebrate.
36. You’ve got wedding goals
Ok, goals and expectations are two separate things, but if your relationship has gotten this far and is healthy, you know the emotion will be there.
37. You are committed to being adorable forever
Because if you got it (a great relationship, that is), then flaunt it.
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
New year, new you! Maybe one of your resolutions this year is to get more enthusiastic about applying your makeup every morning or to try a new eyeshadow shade, or maybe you are just looking for new ways to get the best bang for your buck.
We did the research for you and found a bunch of makeup hacks revealed by actual makeup artists themselves. Hopefully one of these tips will come in handy!
1.) Use the right foundation for your skin type
Use a water-based foundation if you have oily skin. Use an oil-based foundation if you have dry skin. Everyone is different.
2.) You don’t need a lip liner with your liquid matte lipstick
And if anyone tells you that you do, they are a liar. Almost all liquid lipsticks do just fine on their own.
3.) Let your eyelid primer dry before adding eyeshadow
And after the primer dries, coat them with a light, neutral color all over your lid. This will act as a base and will make it easier to blend colors together. If you want a dark color, slowly build it – first with light colors, and then darker. Don’t just go straight from light to dark.
4.) Save your mascara brush
Fun fact: most of the mascara magic actually comes from the brush. So if you found one that really works for you, save the brush when you’re done, clean it, and try using it with a cheaper bottle! It’s really not necessary to spend big bucks on this.
5.) Make your matte, full-coverage concealer look more natural with primer oil or coconut oil
Use just a drop of the oil of your choice and it will make your heavy concealer more radiant, easy to blend, and natural. It also helps with creasing!
6.) Use hairspray to tame full eyebrows
First, spray hairspray on a clean, disposable mascara wand. Then brush your brows up and into the shape you’re going for. If it makes the hair on our head stay in place, it definitely works for the hair on our face!
7.) Wet your brush before applying highlighter
It will instantly give it a little more glow.
8.) Don’t apply primer with your fingers
It can cause micro-exfoliation, which causes clumps.
9.) Use a matte bronzer to make your eyes look bigger
If you’re doing a full face of makeup but want to keep your eyes bare, put a little bit of matte bronzer in your lid crease and bottom lashline. That way, they will still be bare, but they will also appear bigger.
10.) Never use face soap with sodium laureth sulfate
Makeup artists swear that it dries out your skin.
11.) Stick to matte eyeshadows and powders if you have fine lines on and around your eyelids
Using something shimmery usually accentuates those lines.
12.) Always do your eye makeup before your foundation
That way, you will have an easier time cleaning up any fallout from your eyeshadow.
13.) Always exfoliate and prime your lips with a serum
Especially when using a liquid matte lipstick. Cracked lips will show!
14.) Use scotch tape for the perfect eyeliner wing
Angle it from your eye to your eyebrow for the crispest, cleanest eyeliner wing you’ll ever see. Boom, magic.
15.) Use eyeshadow primer on the lash line
Then sweep eyeshadow on top with a fine liner brush to create a smudge-proof eyeliner. Now if you’re out of eyeliner, you can use your shadows for the same effect!
16.) You can also use a cotton pad
If you use cotton pads to apply your face makeup, use those same pads for your eyeliner! Simply fold it in half and use the straight side to line up with your eye for the perfect sweep. No tape needed.
17.) If you accidentally get mascara around your eyes, let it dry
Wait 5 minutes or so and then swipe it away with a Q-tip. At that point, it should flake off and not smudge.
18.) Never share makeup brushes
It’s super unsanitary.
19.) Tarte’s Timeless Smoothing Primeris an absolute must
It’s soft and it doesn’t clog pores. What more could you want?
20.) Imagine a line from the outer corner of your eye to the tip of your brow. This is where your eyeshadow should stop.
A lot of times, people make the mistake of not bringing out their eyeshadow far enough. This can actually make the eyebrow look smaller.
21.) If you’re just starting out and want to learn how to contour, put the contour color on a brush or sponge first
It will be harder to blend if you draw it on directly like lines.
22.) Don’t sleep in your makeup
“Skin needs time to breathe and when you’re sleeping, your body is repairing the most. Sleeping in makeup is not only messy, but it causes breakouts, premature aging, and stained bedding. Take care of your skin, loves!”
23.) Don’t recreate the celebrities
“Those looks are made for them, their skin type, skin tone, and face shape. People always come into my shop and request to look like Kim Kardashian and I have to explain to them that it might not work on them and sometimes they even get upset when it doesn’t turn out. Yes, I can do it, but it won’t look good on you. Instead ask for something dramatic like Kim Kardashian or whatever you want but do not ask to look like them!”
24.) Invest in good skin care products
“Your makeup, no matter how much you paid for it, will not look its best when it’s added on top of dry, scaly, splotchy, oily and just plain unhappy skin. Want to get makeup optional skin? INVEST in skin care.”
25.) Don’t start from the top lash line if you’re doing winged eyeliner, use the bottom lash line for a smoother, straighter line
And look at the wing you drew first while drawing your second one.
26.) Never store your makeup in a bathroom cabinet
The humidity can cause it to alter and go bad before its time, plus toilet germs.
27.) Blend your foundation out onto your neck
“When wearing foundation please blend it out. Put product on your jawline, and blend it out into your neck. Also blend the foundation along the edges of your face out. It’ll help create a natural look and make it less obvious you’re wearing foundation, plus it will visually improve your color match.”
28.) Don’t use stark white concealer under your eyes
“Use an under-eye concealer one shade lighter than your face concealer, not two or three shades. It will give you a naturally bright effect instead of a contrasting white effect, which looks super unnatural.”
29.) Apply setting powder with a damp beauty blender or brush
This does wonders for people with dry or textured skin and gives a smooth, airbrushed finish.
30.) The same foundation that works for you in the summer might not work for you in the winter
For example, I use a more moisturizing foundation in the winter (Too Faced Born This Way) and prefer a more matte coverage in the summer (Hourglass Stick Foundation).
31.) For eyeshadow, tap the excess eyeshadow off the brush
Also hold the brush farther from the handle for more control.
32.) Blend your foundation into your hairline and make sure to contour that too
Everyone knows to drag their makeup down their neck a little bit, but too often I see people with a line between their makeup and hair. Not a good look!
33.) Stop blowing on your makeup brushes
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people do this and it makes me cringe. Brushes already harbor bacteria if not cleaned and taken care of properly; you blowing on your brushes and getting saliva particles all over it isn’t helping considering you’re applying it directly to your face therefore causing breakouts, clogged pores, etc. If you’ve picked up too much product, just tap it off or give your brush a little shake.”
34.) Use a foundation one shade darker on the outer edge of your face to add depth
35.) If your skin is very oily, apply a light layer of powder after you apply your primer and before you apply your foundation
It’ll give you a smoother look. Also, baby powder works great for baking your face. I use it for everything!
36.) Glowing cheeks that look natural
“”Add your favorite blush to the cheeks before you apply foundation for a glow that looks like it’s coming from beneath the skin. A bright, warm pink at the apple is perfect for any complexion.”
– James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
37.) Multi-colors on the cheeks is important
“Apply two shades of blush for the perfect flush of youth. Pink, or anything in the red family should be placed on the apple of the cheek; it will give the effect of blood coming to the surface. Peach, coral, or anything in the orange family should be applied to the highest point of the cheekbone; that gives the effect of heat rising. Finish by bringing a matte bronzer to the skin where sun hits the face (forehead, cheekbone, bridge of nose, and chin).”
– James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
38.) Lighten your coverage
“Mixing foundation with moisturizer is an easy way to lighten your coverage options if you already have a fuller coverage foundation.”
– Caitlin Wooters, makeup artist
39.) Make sure those lashes get coated
“Use the handle of a brush to lift the eyelid at the base of the lashes to roll your lashes up and back; this allows you to wiggle the mascara wand against the base of the lashes and pull through any clumps in a clean and precise manner.”
– Kara Yoshimoto Bua, Chanel celebrity makeup artist
40.) Don’t be afraid of red
“If you want to find the perfect red for your complexion, try applying one lip color that has the same undertone as your complexion all over the lip: Cool uses cool, warm uses warm. Apply a red with the opposite tone just to the center for a lip that looks full and fantastic.”
– James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
41.) Reach for the school supplies
“No. 2 pencils are the perfect graphite shade to sketch in natural eyebrow hairs. Sharpen one to a point and draw in lightly for a finished brow.”
– James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
42.) Thicken up watery foundation
“To make foundation thicker, mix in a touch of loose powder. (Be careful not to add too much or it will cake.)”
– Cecilia Muench, creative director of Inglot
43.) Chill out and reduce puff
“To reduce puffiness, pop eye lotion in the icebox and apply to lids before eye makeup.”
– Petra Strand, creator of Pixi by Petra
44.) Find the right lip shade
“Test lipstick on the inside of your fingertip, rather than on the back of your hand. The pad of your finger closely resembles your own lip color, so see which one looks best there, then move to the lips.”
– Kerry Cole,style director of Becca Cosmetics
45.) The power of gold
“Gold powder pigment is a great way to lengthen lashes or brows. Use a clean spoolie brush, toothbrush, or mascara wand, and brush a bronze or yellow gold pigment through a mascared lash or brow for a beautiful effect that adds dimension without looking hard.”
– James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
46.) Who knew?
“Halloween is the perfect time to stock up on some unexpected essentials. Fake blood is the ideal blush shade. Add it to the apple of the cheek for any skin tone—it looks like a natural flush of color coming though the skin.”
– James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
47.) You better stock up on your next visit!
“Starbucks napkins and disposable toilet-seat covers work just as well as blotting papers.”
– Kerry Cole, style director of Becca Cosmetics
48.) If it works, it works!
“As a little girl, I would watch my mother apply egg whites to her face (especially around her eyes) about an hour or two before going out to a special event. She would take one egg, separate it, whisk it until it was frothy, and apply the egg white all over her face and leave it on for 20 minutes. After, she would wash it off with lukewarm water and immediately apply her makeup. The egg white tightens the skin and wrinkles to give you a temporary facelift.”
– Niki Metz, director of artistry for Jouer
49.) Who doesn’t want to look younger?
“My favorite ‘look younger’ makeup tip is to first use a luminizer in the inner corner, then swoop it with a fan brush underneath the eye. This brightens the face.”
– Deanna Melluso, celebrity makeup artist
50.) Pucker that pout
“Use a flesh-toned eyeliner to outline the lips along the Cupid’s bow. This reduces the chance of feathering and makes lips appear fuller.”
– Petra Strand, creator of Pixi by Petra
51.) Better safe than sorry
“If you can’t find a perfect shade, buy one that’s slightly darker than your skin and one that’s slightly lighter, then fine-tune the color yourself.”
52.) Strange but effective
“Pull your bottom lip down and look at the inside color. Pick a lipstick shade that’s either lighter or a bit deeper but along the same tone as the inside of your lip. Oh, and don’t do this in public.”
– Maggie Ford Danielson, Benefit global beauty authority
53.) Buff, buff, buff!
“Buff, buff, buff foundation into the skin — quickly, like a whirlwind — with a brush. It ensures the coverage won’t look heavy-handed.”
54.) Instant lip lift
“Apply concealer to the outer corners of your lips to give your lips a lift.”
– Niki Metz, director of artistry for Jouer
55.) Fuller brows while you sleep
“Apply a nourishing balm to your eyebrows before going to bed. This will guarantee extra strength and growth—thicker eyebrows in two weeks.”
– Terry de Gunzburg, founder of By Terry

Christopher Hopkins, aka “The Makeover Guy” is known for transforming men and women over 40 into the best selves. But in 2019, he took on the task of a teenager.
Little did he know that Phoenix’s makeover would be one of his most powerful.
Teenage trauma
Phoenix found himself in Hopkin’s Minneapolis “appearance studio” after a big weight loss. The previous school year, he weighed in and 250 pounds.
His transformation wasn’t easy.
He managed to lose 100 pounds by counting his macronutrients (think of it as going a step farther than calorie-counting) and working out every day with a personal trainer
That’s a big commitment for a teenager!
But Phoenix is dedicated and fearless. Hence his desire to put his head in the hands of Hopkins for a whole new style.
He’s already a handsome young man (with hair most people covet), but he decided it was time for a change. And if you’ve seen The Makeover Guy’s popular videos, you know his studio is the place to go.
The big chop
It seems pretty obvious that Phoenix is going to end up with a major haircut. After all, why waste your time going to a makeover guru if you’re not going to let him go crazy with the scissors?
And that’s precisely what Hopkins does. Gone is the shoulder-length wavy hair of the “before” Pheoenix. But is he happy?
There’s a big smile on the teen’s face as he runs his hands through his glossy mane. He’s still got hair to die for!
It’s long on top and makes the perfect wave in front. The only problem is that it’s a little too neat for the teen.
We cringed a little when he messed with perfection, but it’s his hair, not ours after all! And the modelesque look just wasn’t entirely jibing with him.
After getting a tousel from Hopkins, things end up in largely the same place, just not so catalog-model-ready. And it still looks great!
Personal style is just that – personal – so Phoenix has to be able to pull off whatever hairstyle he walks out the door with. And we were really impressed with him for speaking up.
A good day
“I had fun today,” Phoenix says after getting a little ribbing from Hopkins.
He admits that he’s normally shy in front of people and we believe it since when he first walked in he seemed less outgoing. But after agreeing to trust his stylist and seeing the results of the makeover, he lives up to his name. Phoenix is reborn!
After one more tweak by Hopkins, the transformation is complete.
It’s a cute moment when the teen keeps messing with his hair only to have Hopkins walk by and “fix” it one more time.
Commenters were over the moon about Phoenix’s makeover.
“Omg that jawline! He’s stunning and what an adorable personality,” said one fan.
Of course, there were lots of comments about his Bart Simpson shirt, but frankly, we think it adds that perfect reminder that he’s still a “kid.”
And like most commenters, we wish we could see him waltz back into high school with his new look!
