Latvia-based Russian artist and image-designer Konstantin Bogomolov wants to make you over. After moving to Riga from St. Petersburg, Bogomolov opened the Bogomolov Image School that literally changes people--or at least what they look like.
These before and after pics are just the latest examples of Bogomolov's craft: using "his knowledge of psychology," "he creates a whole new image, based on the profession and personality of each woman." The results are nothing if not stunning, and rumor has it, Bogomolov did it for free to prove that every woman can be a queen.
Which transformation do you find the most surprising?

Oh WOW! Looking at her with the before dress you would've never guessed she had THAT body underneath it!! Much better shape than me and I'm only 25 lol.

She looks so much happier. That's the best part of this transformation. It doesn't matter what you look like as long as you feel like a queen. If clothes and makeup do that, go for it
but sometimes the photographer does this on purpose for you to think that

I wonder if all the women smiled in their before shots, like this woman, if they wouldn't look better!
They do that on purpose. They also tell them how to stand and sometimes the pic is closer up, although not here

She looks like a granny on the left and like a fashion designer on the right. Wow!

Different clothes for different occasions. Left is for a walk in the park, right for a drink with some friends. I like both and she is beautiful :)

I like the hair on the right pic, but the clothes on the left are better in my opinion :)

More elegant on after photo and great clothes, but i love how her natural face looks like!

Amazing! Great work. He really made the best come out of these women. Look how much more confident and happy they look in the after photos!
Unbelievable!! These are great examples of how REAL women, not models, can look wonderful with a few adjustments in their everyday routine for make up, hair and wardrobe!! Excellent job!!!
Models are real women too. Their body shape are just less common and over praised.

I usually hate these "make-over" things because I feel like they always try to turn the women into something they're not: make them "preppy" / "basic" or whatever the most widespread style at that moment is. However, THIS is one of those rare examples of a makeover done right. Most of these women seem to have MORE of a personality in the after shots; and the choices in hair, make-up and clothes make them look younger and happier. A big round of applause to this stylist!
I like the fact he hasn't overdone the make up, it's a whole 'style' thing by accentuating the good bits the women didn't even know they had. Some of them barely have any make up on at all.
Makeovers basically say to the person that in the "before", you didn't look good/beautiful enough. Beauty is and always be subjective. Period. And those pics on the right show those women according to one guy's beauty standard, not an "absolute" beauty standard.
I love makeovers like this! Its so nice to see it give them a confidence boost!
I love the respect for the personality of the models, very nice!
Now let's have a makeover of some men. Oh, that's right, men don't get judged on their looks to the same extent that women do.
Wow, I'm speechless. He did an excellent job! It's amazing how the change of hair colour influences the hole charisma. They all look so much better after!
A lot of them looked better before than after in my opinion. 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14 for example. I'm frustratd when middle-aged women gets their hair shortened, in my country it's almost mandatory for women to get a masculine haircut when they reach 40 or 50, there's still so much to do with their hair though ! I won't go further because personally I find quite depressing the total transformation of women that were already pleasing to look at,but if they're happy, that's the most important.
Its always nice to see women get a perk up with new styles, etc. Whomever coined the phrase "Powder and Paint Makes You What You Ain't" was a fool and wrong. A bit of makeup can do wonders, even just lipstick brightens up your face. The people behind the scenes doing these makeovers did a stellar job and I bet the ladies are grateful also.
Makeup and dressing can make a queen seldom but #8 got the big prize for me
Wow! These women instantly look younger and oh so stunning! It's amazing what a few adjustments can do to someone's overall look! ~AM
I love the respect for the models and their personality! very nice
Wow ! Such a wonderful transformation on each and everyone of these ladies. They all look so much better and a lot happier with their new make overs.
I think a key thing to take away from this is CUT YOUR HAIR! So many women cling to their long tresses because they think it makes them look younger. Here's proof they're wrong.
Some of these I'm like this person is talented because some of them don't even look like the same person!
This is a real service to peoples. I know someone who does similar work and her whole point is helping women see themselves as they truly are as this person has done. It's all there in the expression of their eyes. Well done! Find out who does that in your part of the world. My friend does this work for men also - so men, don't be shy. You can change the way you think and feel and that could improve your life.
what a great transformation! How I wish to see my self too for a change even just once.
#9 Oksana, Minsk - Wow, what a difference! You can see the joy she has in the after, well done!
He did amazing job. He did so much. All there makeovers look true to self
I need this lady! She has a great eye for what will make a woman who already looks good look even better!
oh man! i´m so stupid! everytime when i´m reading moscow or riga i don´t recognize that means the citys they came from. I only think: häää? this pics are all from the same family! it´s a very big family. why took the fotographer only pics of two or three familys...
I... really don't think that reading "Moscow" and thinking of anything BUT the city Moscow is something to share with the Internet...

Beautiful woman - ALL their eyes are just stunning - both before and after. What fun to get a "new look"!
EGADS! THIS FELLOW IS PURE MAGIC! Every one of these women went from plan boring to really lovely!
Very true! Can't really compare the two if they're not posing the same and smiling in both.
