Makeup has attracted Ulyana Starobinskaya since her childhood. So in 2008, she decided that enough was enough and made a conscious decision to turn her passion into a career.

After 12 years in the industry, Ulyana has become really confident in her ability. Now, the makeup wants all of her clients to look like Hollywood beauties, whether they're preparing for a wedding or just a casual photoshoot.

To show off her work, Ulyana posts before-and-after pictures of her clients, revealing the effect her makeup has on them.

"Even though I've already spent over a decade in the beauty industry, I am constantly in awe of how beautiful women are," Ulyana told Bored Panda.

"I just enhance their natural beauty."Ulyana considers a lot of things before she applies makeup on someone, including their physical features, clothes, character, and, of course, the type of event they will appear in.

Very little difference in this one, just a slightly better hairstyle + a beautiful smile

However, no matter who she is working with, Starobinskaya said the most important thing for her is to see a client's eyes light up in appreciation of the job she has done.

"I like to work in many different settings; with models during photoshoots, with brides, as well as teach both regular women and up-and-coming professionals more nuanced things on makeup," Ulyana said, adding that she has multiple courses for everyone who shares her passion.

She's a beautiful woman but, honestly, I think this makeup ages her. A lighter lipstick and less blush would be better with the heavy eye makeup.

Actually, this is a natural phenomenon in hazel-eyed people sometimes. if you look closely in the first pic you can see the undertones of green--the brighter light used to take the second pic really highlighted that and makes her eyes appear to have changed, but you can still see the brown around her pupils

Why do they always cover up beautiful brown eyes with fake green contacts?

Aww, she looks so happy, but I don't think the green contacts are necessary

I can change the apparent color of my eyes by using different colors of eyeshadow. Using anything in the green spectrum causes my eyes to look blue. Using blue colors, my eyes look green.

Has she been in a fight. Look at her mouth. No normal make up artist would go near her mouth until that healed

Is it just the lighting in the picture/my computer screen or was their overall skin tone/color completely changed?

Model is pretty either way. But I love the way the makeup artist is able to accentuate and bring out the best of this woman's features.

I like that the makeup artist was able to bring out her best features without overdoing the makeup
