Even Pope Francis wants a lesson on contouring and shimmer. 

On Sunday, the Cool Pope spent an hour trading beauty secrets (we assume) and posing for selfies with 12 famous YouTubers, including beauty vlogger Louise Pentland of Sprinkle of Glitter.

According to The Guardian, Pope Francis expressed his appreciation for the the vloggers' art in front of the camera, saying, “I am glad that you carry out the type of work you said, following the line of beauty, it’s a great thing. To preach beauty and show beauty helps neutralize aggression."

The group included vloggers from six continents and, after discussing the magical beauty of unicorn hair (again, assumptions), the Pope touched on more serious issues, including immigration and extremism. 

Maybe all you need to change the world is a blush brush and good lighting.
