When the 10-Year Challenge, also known as the "How Hard Did Aging Hit You?" challenge, debuted on the internet, everybody took the chance to show off their glow-ups. While we flocked to the timeline to catch our friends and family slightly embarrassing themselves, several beauty influencers wanted to hop in on the fun, too. 

Their transformations were exceptionally impressive considering that they're now makeup, hair, and skin experts. But hey, everybody starts somewhere, and this challenge is the perfect example of that. So buckle up, because we've created a list of the 13 most drastic switch-ups. They're barely recognizable.

It's amazing what 10 years can do, especially when you spend that decade refining your makeup skills.

Jackie Aina

let's try this again ???? she went from fxcked to flewed out REAL QUICK ???????????????? (by the way - I have like NO photos from 2009, mainly because that was when I lived in Hawaii, didn't do much of anything and was depressed. it was a really not so amazing point in my life but I worked through it. the only two '09 photos you see is the 2nd photo when I worked for MAC @ the Pearlridge store. The red lip photo was viva glam Friday's ????. 2009 was also the year I started my YouTube channel so yyyyyeaaa...these other photos are all throwbacks in 2010, I wanna say the first photo is 2007-2008 ish... enjoy! ????

Whew, the bleach blonde braids and overly arched eyebrows are a true 180 from the Jackie we know today. That fashion sense has also gotten a serious upgrade.

We could just pinch those adorable cheeks! Rock has always been the cutest, but this takes the cake.

Viva Glam Kay

Ummm ???? 2009 vs. 2019 ????????‍♀️ My senior picture I look a hot mess. Lmao I was super skinny, because I was hella stressed out after finding out I got cheated on (oh, what I would tell the young me) ???? My mom paid extra money for my braces to be photoshopped out of my senior pictures per my request (pretty sure the photography place added someone else's teeth on me, because my teeth did not look like that) ???? I didn't actually have bangs. My hair was just so fried from too much flat ironing that my hair just broke off in the front. I'm just glad we've moved on from this time in my life. ???????????? (and before the speculators come in...NO I have never had ANY work done!!! Just got my teeth fixed and that is all. My nose always looks wider when I smile and when I got my teeth done they made my lips look more plump, because it pushes them out more????) LOL

We're thankful for no more heat damage. Now Kay-Lani's curls are thriving more than ever.

Alissa Ashley

It's looking like short hair has always been Ashley's thing. And even though it's clear that she's always had an affinity for modern makeup, the transformation still has us shocked.

Jaclyn Hill

10 years ago I was 18 years old, working as a MAC freelance artist, dealing with bullies & engaged to be married. I was so lost & so confused about life & what I truly wanted. My dad was an addict & taught me a lot of really hard lessons (that I am now thankful for) but at the time, it made me insecure & I never knew what I wanted or deserved. Fast forward to now.... I look better (absolutely!) but I am still figuring everything out! I am so thankful for this journey & grateful for all my lessons & all the bullies I've had along the way. I consider them my greatest teachers in life! I look forward to the next 10 years of my life & the journey I am about to embark on ❤️ #10yearchallenge

The craziest one of all. We can barely recognize Hill with her tricolored, Paramore-inspired cut.

We're celebrating the evolution of eyebrows! Who would believe that plucking our brows to almost nothing used to be in style?

Friends who glow together stay together. These two have been rocking contour and lashes for more than 10 years, and their bond has been giving us #friendshipgoals since the beginning.

Nicol Concilio

#2009vs2019 biiiiitch ???????? this is when I was going in the tanning booth EVERY DAY after high school... I can't stop laughing!!! Amazing what 10 years can do Ps- only thing I got done to my face was lip fillers and veneers, NO surgeries.

Super-orange spray tans are so 2009, and Concilio definitely caught the memo. However, the beauty still has the exact same angel face. 

Teni Panosian

Brb gonna get a yardstick to measure the space between my eyebrows. ???????? 2008 v. 2018... I'm not even sure where to begin lol. Took me a long time to appreciate my natural features; all throughout college I bleached my hair and butchered my eyebrows so I would blend in. It's just one of those things, ya know? You get older/wiser and you start realizing shit, I'm not even gonna judge myself lol. Now I have my natural brows and natural hair color back and I've never felt better about myself. ???????? Same smile tho. Always. ???? #10yearchallenge #yikes

It's amazing how different you can look after making your hair darker. She went from girl next door to sexy bombshell, and we're digging the sultry look.

Lauren Curtis

2007-2009 cos you already know what I looked like after that ???????? Things I loved back then: op shopping (thrift store), old man jumpers, my "computer games" jumper (2nd pic), MySpace, mullet haircuts, carebears, massive side fringes and 10 coats of mascara ???? enjoy ???????? #2009vs2019

Wow, wow, and wow. If someone told you 10 years ago that this girl would be one of the most-watched YouTubers, would you believe it?

Chloe Morello

2009 vs 2019! Swipe for more immaturity! I didn't change too much Right? In 2009 I was 1 year out of high school, living in Canberra and working as a promo girl while studying at Uni! I was obsessed with Latin dancing and my main priority in life aside from makeup was attending classes at @kokolocodancestudio ❤️???? it's also the year I met @carolpirutti who thought I was a 'stuck up bitch' when we first met ☠️ Well, lucky she saw the light and we are still bffl's ???? #10yearchallenge #2009vs2019 #minorglowup

Never have we seen someone look the same while simultaneously looking completely different. But one thing's for sure: Dark hair is Morello's thing.

Manny Gutierrez

GIRLLLL that #10yearchallenge has me SHOOK! 10 years ago I graduated high school.... I was battling so much internally at the time and never wanted anyone to know so I'd bottle it away and pretended I was always happy and perfect... but the reality was that I was angry! I didn't understand why I was gay, I didn't want to be gay, that wasn't part of my "plan" so I'd hide it away and do my best to never show the world who I truly was... leaping forward a decade and WOW what a difference! Not only have I accepted myself, millions of others have as well! Never give up on yourself, it will get better as long as your continue to strive to be the best you that you can be! ❤️ #2009vs2019

Teenage acne and that skater boy cut aside, we're in awe of Gutierrez's transformation.

Who even ARE these people?

We barely recognized any of them. Talk about glow-ups.
