I love how the hair stylist is also a plastic surgeon. Profoundly changing the shape of a nose is serious hairstylist skill. Just look at it. I hope I'm never the innocent guy in the photo-array that is being scanned for the criminal by someone that buys this.

The thing is, how often do we get the opportunity to wear a sparkly evening dress? It would be better to show her in the same outfit. Then it's apples to apples.

I like her hair but other than that i think she looks better in the before pic
Zhuk was born in Brest, in Belarus. Even though none of his family members were in the beauty industry, he decided that his future lay there and began pursuing his dreams wholeheartedly. When he was just 18, he officially became a hairdresser and spent the next 5 years building up his experience in Brest.
However, he felt like he was stagnating. That’s why he decided to shake up his life. Zhuk moved to Moscow. He was so dead-set to improve his skills that he sold his car just so he could set his roots down in the Russian capital.

I'm sorry but if a woman wants to wear make up and get her hair done, WTF is wrong with that? Stop shaming use for wanting to feel good about ourselves.
Weezie Ray 5 years ago
Huh. I know those particular eyeshadow colors are trending right now, but I kinda think the makeup artist did her dirty here. Looking at the 'before' pic, it's easy to see that she is clearly gorgeous, and I was expecting the 'after' to be knock-you-out-STUNNING. I mean, she's still beautiful, of course, but I think different eye makeup would have taken it to another level.
He went all-out in Moscow, and at one point he was even working three jobs as a hairdresser during the economic crash of 2008, according to 24smi.org. That’s when he began to fully live his philosophy of living to the max.
Now that’s the sort of discipline and energy that gets you right on the path of success. And that’s exactly what happened to Zhuk who rose to great heights in the beauty industry.

I like this one. The person is still recognizable and the makeup doesn't look like a ton of putty.
Eventually, he opened up Zhuk.Studio and his very own spa, La Lubie. He’s won numerous awards for his skills and has hosted a handful of TV shows focused on beauty transformations.
Zhuk has extensive knowledge of the TV industry and was even a model at one point. He currently lives together with his wife, model Anastasia Belochkina, whom he married in 2019. They have a child together. Other than that, Zhuk keeps his private life private.

I always feel better when I do my hair and make up. It puts a smile on MY face and makes me want to dress better and maybe even leave the house. This is empowering! When I was widowed I didn't want to get out of bed but with hair and make up and a few complements it sure made me feel like life might be worth living.

This isn’t just makeup this is also -clean bloody nose -hairdye -better lighting and camera -smile -fixed hairline Don’t get me wrong, it’s amazing, but you can’t just go around saying “just makeup will help you!” You’re beautiful the way you are, unless you feel the need to do make up. Just do what makes you happy and don’t always believe others

This is more than just make-up and hairstyle. The jawline, noses, and lips are different...
Wolfstar 5 years ago
1. She's smiling. 2. Some make-up techniques can make lips appear different. 3. Her nose is probably contoured. I might be wrong, but that's what I think.

I don't understand the comments that are saying that this post is telling women that they aren't good enough. Yes, putting on a sh*t load of makeup and telling people that they need to look like that is not okay, but have you considered what these women felt like after their makeover? Beauty is not just about looks, it's also a way to feel more confident and empower yourself. Look, she looks a lot happier in the after pic. Maybe it's the lighting, but who knows? If putting on some makeup makes the woman happy, then who are you to deprive her of that joy?

I liked her better before, she was original and has a naturally pretty face. The after made her look like an ordinary tv weather girl or something.
Wolfstar 5 years ago
If you liked her before, then that's fine. But maybe she likes her after look. If people are going to say that they liked a girl before her makeover, then that's basically the same as telling the girl she looks better with make-up on. If she likes how she looks, then you shouldn't tell her to go back to the way she was before.

You can do miracles with makeup: downplay some features with dark shading and emphasize others with eraser or lighteners. It will make the person's face look different, but that's the point, isn't it?

I have the same shape of jaw . . . when clenched, as in the first photo, the squareness is emphasized. Relaxed produces the jaw-line apparent in the second photo.

Having hair down can sometimes make a neck look small. When I have my hair up, my neck looks like a fricking tree trunk, but when I put it down, the volume of my hair makes my neck look smaller. I could be wrong, though.

Nothing is wrong, but a woman has a right to want to change her hairstyle once in a while, this is why people dye their hair. It doesn't mean something was wrong, it just means they want something new.

wow.. I never realized dying your hair could completely change how you look!! (my point is she's beautiful in either picture- but I think when her hair was dyed she looked... younger. but the first one looks younger too!)

Funny how people see things differently - for me the hair didn't go with her skin tone in the before. Though it is hard to be sure as the photos can be produced with different colour saturation.

LittleMissLotus 5 years ago
I agree that it's hypocritical for bp to post two contradicting posts like this, but idk if every woman who wants to get glammed up just once has "low confidence" or is "trying to fit a beauty standard." For all we know, they could just be doing this purely for the fun of it, and they just want to wear something crazy for a day. I'm tired of people assuming that anyone who wants to dress up and put on some makeup once in a while is insecure and is pushing unrealistic beauty standards. Some people just like to try out a different look.

Pure garbage. Sorry there's no other way to say it. Take a purposely crappy photo of an unsmiling person on what's often a darker background for the first pic, then juxtapose that with a smiling person on a brighter background and then photoshop it and call it a comparison? How trash like this gets published is beyond me. It's dishonest.
