Based on the looks of Toronto teenager Kevin Kodra’s graduation photo, he won’t be filled with regret later in life — because about as glamorous as a photo gets.

To celebrate his 18th birthday, the popular Instagrammer shared his school headshot with his followers. His caption was a thank-you to his family, friends, and fans of his beauty tutorials on the photo-sharing site. “In honour of my 18th birthday, here’s my senior photo,” he wrote. “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.”

“I couldn’t even get my A’s straight” 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.

Of course, what can’t be missed in this traditionally staged shot — the blue background, the graduation gown — is the major beauty look Kodra is working here. His fans took notice, showering him with compliments on his makeup and skin.

“GORGEOUS, where are you to do my senior pic makeup,” wrote one, while another said, “make up goals or whaaaat?!?”

While this look is a little extra for some, it seems to be pretty common for Kodra, whose posts about beauty have garnered him more than 67,000 followers.

This young makeup artist is doing high school his own way, which many other kids have done over the years. Last year, a teen who skipped her high school graduation to hit the beach was both celebrated and condemned for her decision. And another girl used her yearbook to take a jab at her school dress code. Pretty normal teenage behavior, it seems.
