Getting the perfect yearbook picture is an uphill battle. So many things have to really work and, most times, we must leave the fate of yearbook photos in the hands of a higher power. Well, unless you're 17 year old high school senior and makeup artist James Charles

Like many American high school seniors, James wanted his senior portrait to turn out bomb. And he wasn't going to leave that to chance.

He glammed up; made sure his eyebrows were CORRECT; ensured his highlight was fleeky. The whole nine yards. But he also went the extra mile to basically guarantee that his pictures would come out flawless.

And obviously it worked. Look at that highlight. We have been blessed. James' face was so beat to perfection that even Zendaya noticed. Like, ACTUAL ZENDAYA.

If Zendaya queen of highlight thinks your glow is poppin', then you know you've really achieved something. You can check out James' YouTube channel and watch the video of how he achieves his now infamous glow.
