30 Women Who Were Up For A ‘Blind’ Makeup And Hair Transformation By This Russian Stylist Duo (New Pics)
Even if you haven’t heard of the insanely talented Russian duo bringing smiles back to women’s faces, you have probably seen their work on social media. The Moscow-based makeup artist Oksana Trunova and hairstylist Olga Tarasova have been leaving everyone stunned upon seeing their “blind makeovers.”
Having started five years ago, the duo helped to create new looks for thousands of women who wanted a change but didn’t know where to start. “Do something,” the clients would tell Oksana when she still worked in a beauty salon, and that’s when she realized it takes a lot of work, creativity and magic to make a truly dramatic change that makes people shine from within.
So scroll down to see some of the most breathtaking transformations made by Oksana and Olga, upvote your favorite before and after pics, and make sure to check out our previous posts on the “freestyle makeovers” by the talented Russian beauty duo here and here.

Bored Panda reached out to the Moscow-based makeup artist Oksana Trunova, who, along with her colleague, hairstylist Olga Tarasova, has been ‘freestyling’ these incredible makeovers, helping many women leave the salon way happier than when they came.
Oksana and Olga have been doing these makeovers for many years now, and they said they “realized that women are all beautiful, but for many reasons, many have forgotten about it.” “For example, they may have been affected by the loss of a loved one, leaving work, illness, etc.” Oksana said her goal is to “bring back life and confidence in them.”

I hate it when they don't include glasses in the makeover. Not everyone can or wants to wear contacts and not everyone can afford multiple pairs of glasses. If you want to look prettier every day, you have to include them. Snd even for a dingle occasion you might not be able to take them off.
When asked if every woman is happy with her makeover, Oksana assured us that “everyone leaves happy and everyone likes it, but sometimes we ourselves are not happy with the work we’ve done.” The makeup artist also said that it usually takes 3 days for a woman to get used to her new looks after the transformation, and that’s when she feels her best.
Moreover, very young and teenage customers are the ones Oksana usually has the hardest time working with. “As a rule, they themselves know what they want,” she explained.
"After coming to our salon, our clients learn to do their makeup that is not noticeable, yet the face looks fresh and well-maintained,” Oksana said after being asked if clients continue to use what they learned during a makeover after they leave.

This is exactly why you don't get eyebrow tattoos! Look at the after picture.. That's the BEST a PROFESSIONAL makeup artist could do, having to work with such awful tattoos.

IMHO, they should have gone back to grey (or a light color) and brought out her curls. That look, judging from the before picture, is gonna be hella hard to maintain.

In the after look, she looks like someone who knows a lot of things

I wonder what suits her personality better? Both look good, but both say different things about the person.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I kind of think the "after" photo makes her look older.

This woman seems like someone I wanna talk to. She looks like she's funny and interesting in the before and the after.

See, maybe I shouldn't say it but this person shouldn't have bangs if this is how she's going to style them. Her "after" look will probably be the same as the "before" look after one wash, just a different color.

I’m assuming these women were excited to have a makeover, but honestly, they began to all look alike — and the presentation was terrible. Especially the hands in all sorts of weird positions around their faces. What’s up with that?!?

Yes, came here to say this too. A hand in the frame just looks awkward.

I see a lot of make-up and photo manipulation. The women get their picture as a sort of a high and will probably crash spectacularly when they realise they cannot replicate the look on the photo. Depression waiting to happen.

this hairdresser is most likely from a small town in Central or East Europe. Definitely not my style but at least it looks simple and the make up is not overly done to look like drags, like in previous posts.

Moscow, according to the Instagram bio, so not exactly a small town.
