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!
Alusair Alustriel 7 years ago
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... :/

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.
frederic eeckman 7 years ago
Well, foundation and contour... The same process that drag queens use actually ! And the light plays a lot, but good job though !
Aunt Messy 7 years ago
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.
Spinstapink 7 years ago
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.
Robyn Denton 7 years ago
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?
Janet Clarke 7 years ago
I think it's interesting that they don't look more happy or confident. As someone already pointed out, what is wrong with looking our actual age? The women were probably thinking they looked fine already and now they look unnatural.

Terrible. Before pics look as if the photographer said "look like your coming off crack for me" and the after pics are just scary drag queen with alien eyes. If these women smiled in first pic and were themselves that would nice to see
Sheila McFadden 7 years ago
They all look a bit like drag queens to me. I think you can spruce up these women without smothering them in makeup and false eyelashes. Nice haircuts, lightly applied makeup (if any) and flattering clothes would be a better way to accentuate their natural beauty. Nothing wrong with aging. Glamorous to the point of appearing plastic just looks kind of sad to me.
Eleven Seventy Seven 7 years ago
Although all of the women look very nice the problem is with society telling us that it is shameful to look old, you must cover your imperfections, you must conform to the standard of beauty the glossy magazine have dictated. You're too fat, too short, your hair is too fine, your skin isn't perfect, your lips are too small, your neck is too short, your face it too round, your face is too narrow...on and on and on. I don't see men having to go through this sh*&.
Kim Tiekstra 7 years ago
He's talented but I'm not a fan. I don't like how all woman look completely different then what they truly are. Change of eye colour, freckles gone. Way too much contouring. This is what messes with our minds and this is why most celebrities look so good. Tons and tons of make up. Doesn't resemble true life.

On photo, their skin looks flawless, but what under sunlight? No doubt they look caked and terrifying. Not to mention OTT, and not feminine at all. I feel as you age, your makeup should be softer and well blended. I never found wrinkles ugly at all. As long as an older skin is luminous, spot and blotch free, it can look beautiful.

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.

Hair has certainly been photoshopped onto some of them so I suspect photoshop has more to do with some of the wrinkle removing too because you can't reshape faces so much as some were with just makeup.

I think lighting and contacts makes a big difference, but some of those women have DEEP wrinkles and my cynicism is saying "that can't JUST be makeup, surely there's some Photoshop involved" but then I don't wear much makeup and don't have experience with anything close to this sort of thing so I might be wrong lol
Liz Mosby 7 years ago
Great job giving these lovely ladies a big makeover, something that makes EVERY WOMAN FEEL GOOD AGAIN! Who cares what makeup or wigs or contacts were or were not used. This super talented artist went out of their way to make the day of these women, which is something most ppl would never do on their own time and dime! This artist probably made some, if not all of these women feel fabulous for the 1st time in a, long time, and that's the most important thing.. S**t I'm only 35 and would love a makeover like that.. who wouldn't? Thanks for what you do to make your clients smile, and for sharing that awesome experience with us!

Apparently he doesn't like dark eyes, since he found it necessary to lighten so many. The women all look lovely after he's finished, but almost too perfect...more like mannequins that human. Also, my guess as far as the wrinkles is that he's got the skin pulled back at the hairline and fastened somehow (tape?), and hidden under wigs. Contouring can work miracles, but not that much. Personally, I'd be afraid to smile with that much makeup on, for fear my face would crack!

I said this in an early post but will repeat this here. I think every woman deserves to look glamourous, even if it's just for one day. To feel and look like a beauty queen is a pleasure for the day. It's just a fantasy and fun to do. Does anyone remember back in the 90's, Glamour Shots? I had them done and they are a fun reminder of the day, I too looked like a star!

Some of them just end up looking like Drag Queens. Rich people can afford the wrinkle shrinking creams, the false eyelashes, the expensive makeup, the extensions and expensive hair color and style, so essentially, you could say, left photo=poor, right photo =rich.

I feel these women felt down for a very long time in their life that's why they were aging badly and were not taking care of their appearance at all.These photos show us there is no really ugly or age obstacle for a woman who feels good about herself and wants to live with respect,these photos how a fake make-up redone but once a woman realizes she doesn't have to look bad she will not let herself down and will live and age complete fly differently.This is the message I get.Also,don't think media people are awesome and the girl next door is just cute!😄

After looking like a million dollars for a day, these people will return to how they've looked for decades unless they learn these skills and spend hours every day making up. May be depressing for some, but at least they have photos to remind them of what they could look like.

Hair has certainly been photoshopped onto some of them so I suspect photoshop has more to do with some of the wrinkle removing too because you can't reshape faces so much as some were with just makeup.

I think lighting and contacts makes a big difference, but some of those women have DEEP wrinkles and my cynicism is saying "that can't JUST be makeup, surely there's some Photoshop involved" but then I don't wear much makeup and don't have experience with anything close to this sort of thing so I might be wrong lol

Great job giving these lovely ladies a big makeover, something that makes EVERY WOMAN FEEL GOOD AGAIN! Who cares what makeup or wigs or contacts were or were not used. This super talented artist went out of their way to make the day of these women, which is something most ppl would never do on their own time and dime! This artist probably made some, if not all of these women feel fabulous for the 1st time in a, long time, and that's the most important thing.. S**t I'm only 35 and would love a makeover like that.. who wouldn't? Thanks for what you do to make your clients smile, and for sharing that awesome experience with us!

These are photoshopped. All the eye colors are magically different.

Many of these ladies look like drag queens - no offense to drag queens.

Every single one of these would be much more impactful without the bright colored eyeshadow. It makes it look cheap. But I think overall it’s a nice job.

Apparently he doesn't like dark eyes, since he found it necessary to lighten so many. The women all look lovely after he's finished, but almost too perfect...more like mannequins that human. Also, my guess as far as the wrinkles is that he's got the skin pulled back at the hairline and fastened somehow (tape?), and hidden under wigs. Contouring can work miracles, but not that much. Personally, I'd be afraid to smile with that much makeup on, for fear my face would crack!

Make up is amazing! What I would love to see in these before and after photos? The person keeping their hair the exact same way after the make up.

I said this in an early post but will repeat this here. I think every woman deserves to look glamourous, even if it's just for one day. To feel and look like a beauty queen is a pleasure for the day. It's just a fantasy and fun to do. Does anyone remember back in the 90's, Glamour Shots? I had them done and they are a fun reminder of the day, I too looked like a star!

Some of them just end up looking like Drag Queens. Rich people can afford the wrinkle shrinking creams, the false eyelashes, the expensive makeup, the extensions and expensive hair color and style, so essentially, you could say, left photo=poor, right photo =rich.

Nothing i find more disgusting than a woman that gains weight just by the sheer volume of make up on her face.well except for fake tits lips etc that is even worse

I feel these women felt down for a very long time in their life that's why they were aging badly and were not taking care of their appearance at all.These photos show us there is no really ugly or age obstacle for a woman who feels good about herself and wants to live with respect,these photos how a fake make-up redone but once a woman realizes she doesn't have to look bad she will not let herself down and will live and age complete fly differently.This is the message I get.Also,don't think media people are awesome and the girl next door is just cute!😄

After looking like a million dollars for a day, these people will return to how they've looked for decades unless they learn these skills and spend hours every day making up. May be depressing for some, but at least they have photos to remind them of what they could look like.

This is Photoshop alive ;) I always said - if you want to know how the girl is really look like - take her to the swimming pool :)

Can't help but wonder how different the comments would have been if instead of Ajerbaijan it mentioned American make up artist.

A friend of mine said that if you go on a date with a girl who wears that much make up and they look completely different with no make up on, they should disclose that information straight away as it's essentially lying :D

Imagine going to bed with the after pic and waking up with the before pic. Yikes.
