Why @keepingupwithmina is well worth a follow on Instagram


We thought we’d already seen the best ever male make-up transformations, but Mina Gerges (on Instagram: @keepingupwithmina) is our new favourite, hands down. 

Based in Ontario, Canada, the 20-year-old student spends hours making everything he needs to recreate the sauciest of celebrity snaps.

They’re all so good, it’s hard to pick a winner, but here are some of the funniest ones:

Beyonce



Gerges’ hair flick is definitely on par with Queen Bey’s.’

…and his red lippie is on point.

Miley Cyrus

How fierce is my new towel bathing suit? @mileycyrus

He captures the smallest details, including Miley’s tattoos!

Iggy Azalea

Gerges’ blonde tresses, winged eye and serene expression are perfection. 

According to the dailymail.co.uk, Gerges spends about two hours on each photo.

Speaking to Buzzfeed, he explained the process: 

“I purchase curtains and hold them with pins, and everything else I put on them I stick with glue.”

I think Gerges is nothing short of a creative genius, but his Twitter bio’s a lot more humble, describing the man as a “Kardashian-obsessed third year media student”. 

Here are some more of my faves for your viewing pleasure…

Rihanna

not sure what we’re looking at tbh @badgalriri

With the tousled fringe and glossy lip, Gerges’ Rihanna is spot on. 

Kim Kardashian

I couldn’t not do it. #BreakTheInternet @kimkardashian

We dare you not to giggle at Gerges’ parody of one of the most viral images of the decade. 

Katy Perry

my collection of wigs came in the mail today and I’m so about it @katyperry

A nearly identical version of Katy Perry (albeit with a touch more body hair). 

Lady Gaga

Thankfully, Mina opted for opaque bubbles with this one.

Do you find Mina Gerges as funny as I do? What other celebs would you want to see him parody?
