Why Beards Are More Magical Than Makeup

    Maybe it's growing out of his face. Maybe it's Maybelline.

    Beings of the planet Earth, strap yourselves in and get ready for a wild ride. I'm about to get all Aladdin on your ass and open up a whole new world.

    You know that thing some guys say:

    Yeah, derr, that one.

    It's dumb as hell for a bunch of reasons.

    Why?

    Well, do you have a beard?

    Yes?

    Take a seat, my brethren.

    Beards are the ultimate form of makeup. Beards will totally transform your face. Beards contour and/or hide imperfections better than any makeup could.

    Beards are essentially the greatest form of makeup.

    Here's your proof:
