Goar sees herself as a cheerful and reckless makeup artist who adores living life to the fullest and wants to share her love of life with everyone she can. She provides makeup and beautification lessons both in person, as well as via video.
The popular makeup artist moved to Russia with her family when she was just one year old. Her path toward fame and fortune started when she was a teenager. When she was 11 years old, she started experimenting with makeup on herself.
By the age of 16, she was giving makeovers to her friends and acquaintances. Eventually, what was just a hobby turned into a full-fledged job.
Goar became a mother this year on July 3. The 27-year-old gave birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 4 kilograms (around 8.8 pounds). She shared her joy with her followers on Instagram, getting nearly 2.5 million likes. She continues to give updates about her child on social media.
You look great but your HAIR - that is absolutely stunning before as well.
Sweet! (and I still have trouble with the before/after nose shape/size)
I don't understand how they manage to make all loses look so similar! Are these pics for real?
She looks badass on first one, like nothing can breake her
You can see the beauty in her eyes on the left. She doesn't need that much makeup.

This is the kind of stuff that holds women back culturally in the West. With carnivalistic flourish we are shown what we should regard as ghastly and behold! they can be fixed with makeup and better lighting to adhere to what society thinks is an acceptable level of beauty to be featured in a movie/tv show. This normalizes the idea that women must spend hundreds of dollars for makeup products (especially if you don't want a toxic chemical soup on your face), years of accumulated application time, to be beautiful.
I was thinking the same thing, Truth Monster. The entire time I was thinking "Why must women look like flawless plastic dolls to be considered beautiful and therefore accptable?". Normalise naturally flawed human skin then maybe people won't feel they need to use make-up in the first place to feel worthy of society.

I think for most of them.. they only want to go back to a time before the trauma.
I disagree. I think other people deciding what is best for women is what holds them back. If a woman wants to wear makeup, more power to her. If she doesn't, that is awesome too. People trying to control women is the problem. People dictating that one behavior fits all women is the problem.
Are you faulting AND shaming these LOVELY women for wanting to feel good about themselves???
Did you even read the intro? These women are all ill or have skin issues. It's not about other people or their perceptions. It's about making these women feel good. It's not as deep as you are trying to make it. "She gives incredible makeovers to women with severe skin conditions or who are very ill, completely transforming them to help them feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside."

It is not just a "Western cultural" thing.... I am Eastern European... females put very high interest and time into their looks... I think it's actually more of an Eastern European thing.... Us ladies of Eastern Europe don't leave the house daily without making up our face and hair and wear tight nice clothes ... Western women I have seen in America and the UK go out with sweatpants and baggy shirt....hair all diselved and looking like they litteraly just rolled out of bed...
"As they are" you mean. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with using make up, but when it becomes a cultural standard to look like a sex doll, thát is VERY toxic and wrong. And this thread contributes to that.

I agree with embracing unique features, but makeup is not a toxic chemical soup. It is perfectly possible to buy natural and safe products that are good for your skin. Makeup can be a lot of fun and can be used to enhance natural beauty, as well as a method of creative expression.
While I agree with you on most of your points, not all women wear makeup to meet cultural and societal expectations of beauty; a lot of the fun of makeup is the artistry and experimentation! Seeing what doing X does to change your appearance; playing with fun colors and textures; trying different styles; and sometimes it's just about pampering yourself.

lmao yea western women suffer so much ...first world problems are a joke
Some of these are really amazing, but...I kinda feel like it'd send a better message to embrace these people's differences instead of covering them up and conforming all of them to two or three 'socially acceptable' looks. Granted, living with these differences is not something I can fully imagine nor understand, and I'm not faulting or shaming these women for wanting these makeovers, but I think it would send a better message to embrace the things that stand out instead of 'fixing' them.
Agree wholeheartedly!
YES U R faulting AND shaming these LOVELY women for wanting to feel good about themselves ... so is "MALAKI and TRUTH MONSTER." Shame on you!!!
You're right; it WOULD be better if we didn't feel we had to hide our scars, aging, etc., but then again, MOST people don't feel confident when they are stared at, and most compare themselves to others. If these women reached out to have scars, etc., covered so they could look "like everyone else" for a while, that's not something I can judge.
They look pretty, sure. But why do they all have to look like instagraminfluencers? Can they just be pretty AND themselves?
But they are not themselves, most have cancer, birth marks,scars and hair loss and they just want to feel human and their old selves again. Who are you to deny them that. Can you not just be happy for them.
@siobhan mcfadden: Can they not be taught to spruce themselves up without doing it in such a way that they can't possibly move after? They can't break a sweat or they will ruin their eyemakup and foundation. They can't go for a beer without ruining the lipstick. Etc.
