Watch this man transform into Wonder Woman before your very eyes

Great Hera!

You don't need super strength or the ability to fly to be Wonder Woman. All you really need is a wig and some really great contouring skills.

Actor, TV host, model, and impersonator Paolo Ballesteros is famous for his incredible makeup transformations. You've no doubt seen him turn into Caitlyn Jenner and the characters from Game of Thrones, all with the magic of a makeup brush.

In honor of the premiere of the highly anticipated Wonder Woman movie in less than a week, Ballesteros channeled Gal Gadot's superhero in a transformation you just have to see to believe.

First, Ballesteros applies a pale face in order to make his dark eye makeup pop. Then he creates some ~super~ enviable brows and carefully contours his nose and cheekbones with a skill we can only dream of.

He finishes the look off by painting on over-lined lips, adding a wig of superhero proportions, and dressing in Wonder Woman's signature headband and red costume to make the transformation complete.

Great Hera, this guy's good. If he can teach us how to fill in our brows like that, we promise to be his sidekick.
