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.
This is another post telling women they’re not good enough the way they are. Please stop posting things like this on boredpanda.
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.
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.
This is more than just make-up and hairstyle. The jawline, noses, and lips are different...
I don't know if it's me, but she looks kinda sad in these pictures. Something in the eyes.
Her hair is gorgeous in ash blonde. The new shade of makeup is much better. And now we can appreciate how lovely her eyes are.

How comes within two days we see a "embrace your natural grey hair" and yet another "stylist puts so much makeup on unconfident women that they cannot recognize themselves but meet questionable beauty standards" post?
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.
I do not assume a thing and everyone should be free to style up as they like. However, many of the photos on the left are deliberately done in bad lightning and with a facial expression that suggests discomfort. You cannot tell me this is not done on purpose, i.e. dramatic effect.
This
Plus professional makeup, professional lighting, professional photographers...
Not to mention take the 'before' photos under fluorescent lights with a cellphone camera to make sure you're super shiny and flat looking.
and ofc never ever smile in the before photo... but grin to the widest in the after - eventho you can't see anything bcs we took your glasses and blind you with professional lighting
Plus photoshop in many cases.
Hair stylist: "Ok, let me slightly change your hair...and here is tons of make-up, no one will recognize you again, but at least you look artificial."
And remove your glasses
these women aren't being held hostage or anything though- if they want to look this way then why criticize them? yeah, I hate how this is defined as "beautiful" throughout society too, but if these women are happier and feel more like themselves with makeup then nobody should impose on that.
I don’t think anyone is criticising the women themselves (or mostly they aren’t) it’s all these damned posts here lately of makeup artists whose style is one where the women’s natural beauty is completely overridden by a tonne of bratz doll makeup plus photoshop, and everyone looks the same. This one is marginally better, but the photoshop is still strong with this post, and the before are clearly deliberately dulled.
