There's something about knowing that you look great that makes you feel great too. The boost in one's self-esteem from a good haircut or a nice outfit cannot be underestimated, therefore a good stylist can play an important part in a person's general happiness.

Belarus-born celebrity stylist Yevgeny Zhuk is one of the very best in the business, having moved to Moscow, Russia to open up his own salon. He offers haircuts and makeup looks that bring about astonishing beauty transformations, giving a woman that extra glamour that she might otherwise save for only for holidays and special events. As well as having his own beauty salon, he's also a host for several beauty makeover TV shows, which allows him to access equipment and a team of other field specialists in order to achieve some of the more extreme fashion and makeup transformations.

Yevgeny is now a highly sought-after makeup artist and stylist with his 'restart' project finding fame on Russian television, transforming beautiful women almost beyond recognition. Scroll down to see some of this fashion stylist's best work below, and let us know what you think in the comments!

All these women are beautiful anyway. Why can’t that be the message? Why send the massage that they can only be queens under layers of make up? How is that any different to photo filters and photoshop?

I think a good takeaway from this article is that the women we see on TV and in magazines are subject to this sort of makeup and hair treatment all the time. "Normal" women feel bad for not looking that way, but in reality, it takes a team of professionals to get someone looking that gorgeous most of the time. It honestly makes me feel good looking at these photos, because it reveals the facade that the beauty industry really is.

This article title is misleading, it is not just hairstyles but a whole bloody makeover. Some even look like they have had nose jobs, lip fillers and Botox etc. This is not empowering. This is telling women that you have to transform your whole self to be considered beautiful.

Indeed, many of them had nose jobs, breast augmentation, teeth. Botox and fillers too.

She looks happier in the second picture! You can tell this boosted her confidence. That's all that matters.

I love this haircut and colour, short hair suits her so much. Also, her smile is beautiful, I'm in love <3

I agree Rabbit Carrot. Or if they have a transformation, let be removing all that makeup n extensions n enjoy their natural beauty.

I was a profesional make up artist and stylist for many years , this work is outstandng , this team has brought the best in each woman . There is no 'natural beauty' nobody wakes up not needing some help. Of course there are many people that will disagree but a cake with out frosting and embelishment is just bread.

She’s stunning under all that hair. Why would anyone walk around like the Before pic?

I am appalled at all the negative, catty and frankly stupid and or ignorant comments I am reading on this article and this picture, among the others. Here’s the deal: None of this is about you. No one asked you for your opinion. It’s about these women. Who they are, what they want and need. Their individual idea of beauty, not yours. They all come from a country, a region, saturated with centuries of war, and poverty. Decades of soviet style dominance, repression, and economic failure we only think about in our nightmares. They have had no freedom, no resources, no access to more then the most basic medical care, utilitarian clothing, and very few frivolities like we did. You do not know the sorrows, or scars they bear that make them look they way they do in their before pictures. You don’t know what joy it brings them to look better, feel better, have fixed teeth, make up knowingly applied, and pampering they may have never experienced a day in their lives. It’s about them. Be kind.

Lovely. Nothing wrong with women looking their best. It gives confidence and visibility. The message is you can be your personal best and brilliant too.

Somebody either airbrushed and autotoned the heck out of the "After" pics or they must have put a new epidermis worth of makeup to get that "I have no pores" synthetic look...

The before is dark and somewhat 'goth' so looks more fresh in the second.

This girl has lovely features, the hair was the best improvement, as for makeup, it's an individual and personal choice, in many cases, too much makeup which is the case in all that we have seen before, perhaps next time, less makeup to see a more natural look !!!

I suppose the message is that if you care for yourself, whether you want to use the trick you don't want to use, we can look our best. while if you let yourself go, we look a lot worse than we are

I like that the makeover makeup is bold without being A LOT. Lots of purple is fine, (I wear purple on golds on my eyes 💜) but this is cool with the neutral on top and green liner on bottom. It is edgy but still a bit sweet!

She's gone from scary looking to cute. And the women all look so much happier with their transformations.

I like both, the 1st picture looks earthy, grown into its own, and the makeup seems to be applied carefreely. The second pic looks picture-perfect and fairylike. BOTH looks are enchanting.

These women, and all the rest of us, have the right to feel beautiful if they are willing to pursue it. I gotta tell ya, being told "but you're really beautiful on the inside" never comforted anyone.

When older people in my country talks about someone who looks like ´russian woman´, they have in mind person with many layers of vulgar make-up and truly penetrating perfume. They were obviously not far from the truth.

I think a lot of whites can pull it off actually. But I still upvoted because it offends them lol.

The snow white look wasn't really working for her anymore. She looks more modern now.

I wish they were smiling in the before photos. I think the difference wouldn't be as great then and you'd be comparing the same face.

This is annoying. Take your glasses off and suddenly you're beautiful. They do it in films all the time.

Obliviously none of you have ever watched a YouTube tutorial on makeup and contouring. It's her with makeup! it's amazing what you can do with it.

Helena Rubinstein said, no such thing as an ugly woman, only a lazy one. I truly beleive that. These make overs are fantastic.
