To be able to change peoples lives and how they see them selves is a great gift to all.
I'll make a blanket statement about all of the following photos- I really dislike how aging, or less "perfect" faces of women are considered to be in need of makeup. It is so ingrained in us. I always pencilup my eyebrows and eyelids and cover up those age spots. One of these days, I'll be bold enough to stop it, I hope
I love how her eyes come to life after the makeover. Such a beautiful woman!
Unfortunately, on all these ladies, everything south of the chin is scary (speaking from experience)
How in the hell do they get rid of the wrinkles? What magic lotion do they use?
I have to wonder how many layers of make up he used. I still think this woman looks incredible....
Hey I think for the raw material the artist had to work with, miracles were made. Mind you, many came out with the tranny performer look. But at some point the line between natural and altered heavily are the only choices. They all looked glamorous and you could see sparks in the ladies eyes. That part is precious as most women want to feel beautiful! Will these ladies bother to continue the obviously long and expensive process of getting dolled up daily? I doubt it. But for some ladies, it may give them a confidence boost they've much needed.
This is so f*cking terrible - you want to take someone who looks natural and real and make them look like a CLOWN?! Because that's what she looks like. Yes, she looks a little younger, but all that makeup is disgusting - it makes her look like a stupid plastic Barbie doll, or worse - Kim Kardashian. shame...
Sorry but when you look at this for more than 10 seconds the lady looks really weird and clown like. The lipstick on the face is just crazy
Sooooo, basic template is tons of eye makeup and lipstick an inch all around the lip. Got it.
This one's not super overdone and very cool! It's amazing how this can be done!
in Germany we have an actress called Kathi Karrenbauer that looks the same
Load More Replies...She has lovely features to begin with. Not a hard task despite age.
Look at Marilyn Monroe in the "before" picture...on the wall behind her. Same basic theatrical makeup principle applied to these ladies.
Brown eyes are amazingly beautiful. I have always wished for brown eyes. Don't change the color with contacts, keep them! I am so drawn to people with brown eyes. They're beautiful!
Beautiful, how he narrows her nose on the sides, with contour, and down her nose, with highlighter! Amazing, and I'm jealous! :D It really is fantastic! Kudos!
Just gorgeous! I'd love to learn, how he applied the makeup on her!
I love her hair, and the color, and texture! It looks super soft! She appears to be, model ready! :)
Load More Replies...After a lifetime of being told you’re ugly? When someone believes differently, and shows you, the persons eyes light up and you don’t need contacts to make someone’s eyes look full of hope!
And better lighting and photography; and possibly editing. Professional photo helps. Look at the lights reflecting in their eyes. If you are going to sell yourself as a make up artist - be real
Her natural lip line is really perfect. She doesn't need that overdrawn lip line. She's got beautiful eyes too but I think I like her hair more natural and curly as it is.
Load More Replies...doing make up took a very long time .... the hair is long now :-D
The talent and transformations are amazing, but I see ok much photoshop. I thin he's women would look even better without it. Every photo (generally, notall) is touched up- it's part of the process... but usually is for color balance, etc. still, great work.
The first one is my face after reading this overused meme.
Load More Replies...Every woman deserves to look glamourous, even if its just for one day.
Make-up is a miracle! I wish he'd teach classes! (of course these are overdone, but I'd love to know how to do one that's more natural!)
This one is not done well. the eyebrows are far too close together and the lipstick is far too dark, but yes, it's a huge difference.
Her hair was beautifully wavy before, couldn't you have just conditioned it and left it wavy?
Why do they all have blue eyes from brown in the after picture? They all are awesome !
i think she actually has nice skin on the left, naturally aged, it looks healthy, may be a bit makeup under the eyes would have done the job... bit extreme on the right, i think the key to good make up is that you can not really tell if there is any or not.
I thought it WAS a man, transformed into a woman ....
Load More Replies...Me too. I think she looks very strong. Still kind, but strong.
Load More Replies...Can’t hide good bones. But it takes a good eye, and observer, to bring it all back out to see!
I find her done up hair to be FANTASTIC! Looks healthier, natural and love it with a tiny bit of grey!
She is not beautiful. She is striking!!! This is a woman who single handedly runs a cartel or cracks a whip across a submissive's back!!! She gets sh*t done!!! When she orders you obey!! Gladly ;)!!!!
Reminds me of how incredibly handsome and attractive Anjelica Houston is....
Load More Replies...She looks just like Yvonne de Carlo (Lilly Munster). Without the Lilly makeup, she was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. She was also in some Errol Flynn movies.
This before picture could be the make-over's picture mom. Holy cow
love your answer this is what I wrote to someone who judged her because she looked grumpy. We never know what someone's life has given them for horrible stuff
Load More Replies...you never know what a life she has had, she could come from a war zone or have seen and/or experienced terrible things in her life. That's what I always try to think with people. You never know what someone else' s life has been like so try not to judge
Load More Replies...Must be a lot of ties pulling those wrinkles back..or else makeup so thick you wouldn’t dare smile.
All of these women appear to have lived joyless lives. In addition, their skin reflects poor nutrition. Very sad.
Does anybody else see, that all of the look like drag queens? The don't look any better....
With exception of the lips being drawn outside the line, her eyes look amazing full of life and fire and the contouring is good.
I think too much eye makeup. They are all the same eye makeup, no differences.
And when I’m 70, do I really want to fool with faux eyelashes? I’m 66 and I already don’t want to.
Load More Replies...she has small lip that all this is good as any with pink is perfect.
She has very beautiful, deep, warm dark eyes in first foto. But of those blue contacts I'm maybe little scared.
once again with the contacts. Strip them of their identity completely!! She also has beautiful freckles, completely hidden underneath tons of makeup. There's a way to do makeup without looking like a photoshopped picture
Not sure why this make-up artist feels like he has to change their eye color...their natural color is already perfect!
First one looks like tired mother of newborn. Beautiful (I like her freckles and hair!) with round face and deep dark eye that tells a log. Second pictue? Crazy lady who wants to kill anyone who speaks to her. Starting with this make-up artist
horrible contacts , sorry but you see a mile away there fake .. shame
man y'all people being so hypocritical of this person who is probably more talented than all y'all, and you don't know that that woman didn't ask for that fine a*s contour
Load More Replies...She's got a waxed, deer in the headlights look. Wonder how many women went home and toned down these looks. They're all overdone for daytime.
Looks intelligent and strong in the before photo. In the after, looks like a man in makeup.
All these women look like they've had nose jobs, and some have had something other than lipstick applied to their mouths. I think that the tonnage of false eyelashes must make them too trashy in person. Yuck.
Most of them have big noses or a very haggy look,so I am impressed with the end results
I can't get over the fact that her neck and chest are two different colors. Needs a little more blending...
All these women have the same eye colour make up, that awful frosted white look not good on an older woman
I certainly wouldn't like to argue with this woman, makeup or not !!
I don't think any of us are saying these women are ugly... We're critiquing the awful make up jobs this dude has done (directed very kindly to those who downvoted two comments below)
Why the blue contact lenses???? What's wrong with your own color?
Wow! He did an amazing job on her hair!! It looks really long in the after pic. Incredible.
Anar you have a wonderful talent what foundation do you love the most ? I would love to connect with you , I am also a makeup artist your work is amazing well done !
Without detracting from his work (which is very good), I don't understand the need to appear younger. What's wrong with getting old? I'd like to see if any man would be willing to do this every day. I don't think so!
Not aiming at anyone in particular, but my Grandma used to say: you have to grow old with grace and class. She never wore make-up. Ever. And still I remember her looking great. And another thing - you will look way better when you accept yourself the way you are, with wrinkles, white hair, brown spots and all other looks-features that will come with aging. People who like themselves have a special glow to them :) I ain't saying these women don't like themselves or anything, it's just a general remark. I also think that a transformation like that can be good fun :)
Load More Replies...I find the light in the makeover picture playing a fundamental role. Also full-cover foundation + enlarging eyes with makeup and artificial eye-lashes does the trick. Overall nice to see, but hell, put a wallpaper on your face everyday... :/
Many are also wearing contacts to make their eye look bigger and lighter, and some even seen to be wearing wigs since their hair length is different.
Load More Replies...Woah thats something l havent seen in 2018 yet. We only had 50000 pics like that on instagram in 2017. Cmon bored panda! You used to share really cool content!
Most ended up looking like Sylvester Stallone's mum. All you needed is a good foundation to hide all blemishes and then accentuate the eyes with a little colour, no need to go full drag IMO.
Well, foundation and contour... The same process that drag queens use actually ! And the light plays a lot, but good job though !
My point exactly! But it i some good stuff he got going on. Just not for me ;-)
Load More Replies...These are WAY overdone. They look like masks, not real faces. There's so much foundation going on that I can see why most of those ladies aren't smiling. Either they can't, because they're frozen into immobility, or they're afraid the foundation would crack.
As somebody who has lived in Azerbaijan for the last 5 years, this is the make up that the women put on and use. This may not be normal for other westernised countrys, but it is norma for these women. And for the smiling, Azerbaijan was a Soviet country. Many of these women grew up in Soviet Times.
Load More Replies...I'm sorry, but all that make-up being caked on makes some of the women like drag queens. No need to lay it on with a trowel.
Sorry, but I really don't like this. The makeup looks very thick, and is not very well blended. The eye makeup looks pretty much the same on each woman, all that pale highlighter right up to the brows and around the inside corner of the eyes, and those overly-thick false eyelashes. And the lips are overdone, too, especially the ones where the lipstick extends so far over the natural lip line that it looks a bit clownish, really. A more toned-down approach to the makeup colours, better blending, and applying the makeup to suit each individual woman's features would have resulted in a more natural look. They look too fake for me - and, anyway, what's the point of a younger looking face if the neck still looks old?
