This Senior Spent 4 Hours on His Makeup
High school senior and makeup extraordinaire Kevin Kodra just posted the most perfect, mesmerizing yearbook photo we ever did see! He shared the pic on Insta (I mean, why wouldn't he?!) and added the most epic caption to go along with it.
“I couldn’t even get my A’s straight,” he wrote. "In honour of my 18th birthday, here’s my senior photo 😉. Really though, 17 was a wild year. I made memories that I’ll never forget. Thank you to everyone who was by my side every single day. From friends to family and even you guys, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Let’s grab 18 by the balls and make it my bitch 😉 ps. Can y’all stop with the James Charles comparisons, we’re literally two different people. It’s not fair to either of us."

Now, if you think he woke up like this, you are wrong...so wrong. In fact, he told Cosmpolitan.com he woke up at 4 a.m. and spent three to four hours on the look. And believe it or not, this is actually the first time he created a full glam look for picture day. Note: He used the Make Up For Ever Sculpting Kit and the MAC Extra Dimension Skin Finish on his cheeks!
"All of my yearbook pictures were really bad, like really bad," he told the site. "I either had a bad breakout or bad hair color (because I went through a lot of hair color stages), and it was just really bad. So I said, let me just go all out. Let me do what I love doing the most: glam bronzy looks."
Insta likes aside though, Kevin really hopes to use his platform to encourage younger kids.
"A man in makeup is normal," he said. "I want my positive experience with my identity to become normal and break the stigma against not only men in makeup but also one's sexuality and identity. And I wanted to have my final hurrah in high school. I wanted to have my makeup on full-glam so that I could [send the message to] people to do whatever you want. No matter what obstacle you have throughout your four years, it’s not going to matter later on. It’s whatever you do that’s going to set your path."
