Makeup artist Oksana Trunova has had a lot of clients asking for changes without having a particular look in mind. In fact, Oksana has had so many of these requests, she decided to team up with hairstylist Olga Tarasova and freestyle these makeovers.
Oksana has also been sharing before-and-after photos of these transformations on her Instagram account, and they've earned her quite the following; the style guru already has nearly 30,000 fans! Continue scrolling and check out these images yourself.

"I call this project 'Blind Makeovers' and I started it 5 years ago," Oksana told Bored Panda. "I came up with this concept after I worked in a beauty salon and saw women coming in and telling me to 'do something,' but not knowing what they wanted." The makeup artist then started observing women on the street, trying to imagine the things she would change in the passer-bys' appearance. This allowed Oksana to constantly keep brainstorming new ideas which she and Olga could later implement when someone uncertain would ask for their services again.

That's such a fabulous transformation. The hair in the second picture makes her look so chic.

Why would anybody choose that color? It's going to fade awfully and she could do without the shaved part.
A typical 'blind' makeover consists of a haircut, hair coloring, makeup, and a photo. "Girls and women visit us from different corners of the country," Oksana said. "We talk, me and Olga always find out about their hobbies and other things that could give us an idea about their likes and dislikes when it comes to looks. Then, we cover the mirrors and start creating." The clients can only see themselves after the work is done.

In this one, I agree. The change in hair color is also good - went from too warm a yellow to a color that brightens her face. Going gray will also help her dye her hair less and keep it healthier.

What makeup are they using. Never seen such flawless “after” complexion. How did they fix her chin?

every transformation give the women an inner glow. No one is heavily made up or overdone. They look naturally beautiful. Plus just look at the smile of confidence on their faces. They FEEL beautiful. Love that.

Not really. Her changes are more subtle. But she had more potential to start with.

I love this one because they kept her natural hair... that way she doesn’t have to upkeep the dyes!

Her hair has definitely been processed. She is a redhead, but not that vibrant.

Amazing transformation! I love it! She looks about 10 years younger! Or maybe fresher, but in any case, she's a cutie!

These photos demonstrate "drag queen neck" -- turn the torso away and look up at the camera.

Cannot really see the makeup because of the light, but the hair is great. One person who looks better in grey hair, as well.

Both makeup and hair helped a lot. The eyebrows! And now she looks confident. Great job!

Am I the only one who is getting sick of those "makeovers" that use Photoshop to make it look like the women magically got 10 years younger afterwards?
jasper 5 years ago
I like these because they are "realistic" makeovers and not contoured to death or with weird hairstyles that the women will never be able to keep up. However, that being said, most of these women look fine without the makeovers. I think people need to look however makes them comfortable. With or without makeup and hair done, they are beautiful!

what I like about this kind of makeover is that is not extreme - simply trying new hairstyle and adding some make up can make a huge difference, without having to undergo a plastic surgery.

When I see these makeovers I wonder how many of them will keep it up. They looked like they did before the transition because they don't want to bother with all this every day.

I Love what you have done. It takes an amazing talent and skill to cut hair in a way that suits the shape of all these unique shape faces and choose a colour that works well with their complexion. I am sure they felt like a new person and were extremely happy to be pampered and feel so special.

I love makeovers! So much fun, a little bit of make up makes a huge difference
