Meet the man who can transform himself into any celebrity - would you be fooled?

We're used to seeing the effects of a decent make up artist.

Oh come on, you don't think Kim Kardashian's face is perfectly contoured like that when she wakes up in the morning, do you?

But even we've never seen make up done quite like this.

"Is it J-Law?" we hear you cry. "Is it Mariah?"

No, ladies and gentlemen. This is Paolo Ballesteros - a Filipino actor who uses make-up, wigs and coloured contact lenses to painstakingly recreate famous features.

Paolo, 31, can spend several hours creating the uncanny likenesses between himself and his idols.

His transformations have included Jennifer Lawrence, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Princess Diana, but he says he prefers Angelina Jolie and Mariah Carey.

"Angelina is very easy to do. I put big lips and I look like her already," he says. "But my favourite is Mariah Carey."

Have a look through the gallery below to see more of Paolo's transformations.
