JoJo Siwa’s face says it all!

Ever since she created her colorful heart-and-star makeup look (which usually sits one side of her face), the formerDance Moms star has been brushing up her skills to perfect what is now her signature.

On Thursday, the 20-year-old television personality turned social media influencer looked back on the origins of her creation.

The first selfie shared to her Instagram story Thursday, taken four years ago, shows Siwa’s first attempt at the design – a neon yellow and orange heart twisted into an infinity sign, framing a glittery pink star motif.

“This is how it started…” she captioned the photo, later saying into the camera, “That first heart and star eye … is so bad!”

The next picture reflects on the artistic practice Siwa has applied to her face art. The gemstone stickers, star stamps and extra glitter added to the shimmering graphic make it clear that Siwa has been putting in the work.

“The Heart represents loving everyone. The Star represents being different (no 2 stars are the same), and the Infinity Sign represents being you forever!” she wrote.
