And in a full face no less. Well, full-ish. There's a dramatic red lip and some unfortunate blush, but the real point of this story is--JGL's homage to Janet Jackson's classic "Rhythm Nation" video is amazing.

Check.

Check.

And check. Ciara, you better watch your back the next time they need a Janet tribute or else Joey Gordo-Levs is going to steal your spot. And your wig.
