I'll wait.

Now that you've got an idea of the brilliance that is Solange and her aesthetic choices, you undoubtedly have an appreciation for it.

I specifically have a deep appreciation for her makeup choices. She can essentially wear any look flawlessly, no matter how bizarre or outlandish, and pulls it off in a way that the average mortal could never dream to.

Here are just a few examples:

The all-over eyeshadow look

Solange: Elegant, modern, artful goddess.

You: Look like your toddler broke into the painting supplies and spackled the heck out of your eyelids.

Solange: A dreamy, jewel-toned creature.

You: Look like you drew haphazardly on your face with a purple Sharpie.

Solange: Glowing, mauve-y princess.

You: Look like you got in a street fight.

The body paint look

(Okay, this isn't technically a makeup look, but come on—she is pulling it off.)

Solange: Avant garde queen of the world, radiating beauty and poise.

You: Look like you slipped and fell into a pool of glitter glue.

We can't all be Solange, unfortunately, but we can sure as hell try.

Pass the glitter glue.
