From Madonna, to Lucille Ball to Taylor Swift, a makeup artist is transforming herself into spot-on celebrity lookalikes using little more than eyeshadow, blush and lipstick.

Kandee Johnson has been working as a professional makeup artist for 14 years. When she's not working with celebrities like Conan O'Brien and Nicole Ritchie, she's posting makeup tutorials on her YouTube channel, which has over 2 million subscribers. In additional to fun tutorials like how to do a holiday-themed candy cane striped manicure, you can learn how to look just like current celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie, as well as old Hollywood stars like Audrey Hepburn and Lucille Ball.

Johnson tells ABC most of the looks take her about an hour to complete. Her recent Barbie tutorial is a favorite but she takes requests and may do Ariana Grande, Lana Del Ray or Princess Kate sometime in the future.

You can check out more of Johnson's looks on her Instagram page.
