Avetisyan regularly gives makeovers to women suffering from cancer or severe skin conditions, and her work not only dramatically changes their appearance but boosts their confidence, too.
Looking at the before-and-after shots of her subjects, Avetisyan's 4.6 million-big Instagram following doesn't come as a surprise. Lashings of concealer, lip liner and clouds of hairspray - as well as brilliant contouring - and they all look excited about their new looks.

Men with skin "problems" are accepted; let's learn to also accept women for their natural beauty and not make them feel they must cake on makeup and wear a mask! These women look like drag queens (which is FINE if that's what they like and want!) and would cost a lot of time and money to maintain every day.
It goes both ways though. I'm sure there are a lot of men who wish they could cover their scars and acne, but can't because society doesn't accept men wearing makeup.
