Did you know that this kind of hideous facial contortion is actually a sport? Inevitably founded in Britain, gurning competitions have been happening since way back in 1297, when people at the Egremont Crab Apple Fair took turns in pulling grotesque poses while eating the super sour apples.

If a man doesn't love you making a goofy face with no makeup on he is not the man for you anyway. Seriously your eye makeup there is really well done and you're clearly lovely, no need to be serious 100% of the time.

This rural English tradition now has it's own World Championships, with people coming from across the globe to try and win the title of ugliest face. Traditionally gurners frame their faces with a horse collar, in a procedure that is known as "gurnin' through a braffin'. A typical gurn involves projecting the lower jaw as far forward and up as possible, and covering the upper lip with the lower lip.

The World Championships are held in mid-September each year and there are competitions for men, ladies and juniors. England's best-known gurner is Peter Jackman, who won the world championship four times from 1998, with a face called the "Bela Lugosi."

It's amazing what bad lighting and angles can do to a person. Add a little makeup and you've got yourself pictures that look like different people. Seriously though it's not just makeup- nobody looks good at that angle.
