23 Photos Taken Before And After Brides Got Their Wedding Makeup (New Pics)
We already featured the work of Kosovan makeup artist Arber Bytygi, who makes such incredible transformations for brides-to-be that the groom might think he showed up at the wrong wedding!
While some might prefer a subtle, natural look on their big day, Arber specializes in glamorous, dramatic makeup, turning women into the Kardashian version of beauty – all smoky eyes, bold brows and painted lips.

Having amassed over 300k followers on Instagram, it’s fair to say that Arber’s makeup looks have proven to be popular and inspiring for many future brides. His skill at accentuating the features of a woman is beyond doubt, even if a wide range of different and unique women do end up looking vaguely alike.

It all depends on the beautiful bride’s preference – if she prefers a more natural look, Arber can do that too!

“I got interested in professional makeup when I was just a child,†Arber said in an earlier interview with Bored Panda. “The first drawings that I did were of eyes, girls or dresses. I used to take my mom’s makeup and play with it when I was only five years old, so I knew that I’ll become a makeup artist pretty early.â€

“When I meet my client, the first question I ask is what kind of occasion are they getting their makeup done for. I also ask my clients if they have any specific requests. For example, if they want a natural or dramatic look. Then I ask them [to show me] the dress that they are going to wear. The design of the dress and its details reveal the style of the look the client is going for. Then, I analyze their facial features.â€

“We serve more than one thousand brides in a year. The summer, in particular, is a very demanding season for bridal makeup. During this period, I and my team serve as many as 60 or more clients daily.â€

“Makeup is like jewelry for the face,†Arber said to everyone experimenting with makeup. “Play with colors and shapes. Don’t be afraid to transform yourself. At the end of the day, you can just clean it.â€

Oh dear. It's surely art to paint a face like that but those women look unrecognizable. A bride should look like her best self not like a doll. It's probably a matter of personal taste but I don't fancy that makeup style at all.

'look like her best self' - that's really nicely put.

FFS women, you're all beautiful as you are. Seriously, all the left picture is nicer to look than the over the top mask you put on yourself on the right. Yes, I'm a man. I strongly against makeup but I get it. A little makeup can boost someone confidence and it's oke, but this is simply ridiculous. You turn yourself into a completely different person. Please stop this clown act and be yourself and I can't point it out enough. You're all beautiful women!

For me personally most of it is way too much, the shine is unnatural, makeup of a Barbie doll, and I really dislike the mile long lashes and huge lips in superdark matte color. The women are beautiful and the difference is remarkable, but for me, other styles of makeup would make them even more beautiful.

Less is more when it comes to make up, they all look like Bratz dolls....or Kardashians, either one

I thought more "East Indian" looking......the foundation didn't match the actual skin tone.

I understand that people want to look their best on their wedding day but there is such thing as too much. The makeup is on so thick that the women aren’t even recognisable. One women has even gone from Caucasian to looking biracial. Less is more.

"(New pics)" with wayyyy too much makeup. I still think the makeup itself is well done but completely inappropriate for a wedding.

It looks like the makeup you would do for theater. I've been a makeup artist for 30 years and we don't even do makeup this heavy for film or television. I like to still see skin. Unless they have acne or rosacea, no one needs a full face like that. These women are all beautiful

I agree, makeup is great to outline your best features and hide some flaws, but this just looks like total overkill. After makeup they all look more or less the same.

Seems like the artist is painting a picture of a face on their faces

I do hope their husbands to be actually recognised them. How sad it is that they need to look completely different to feel happy with themselves. Make up is supposed to enhance beauty that is already there in everyone, not make you look like someone else entirely. That's just sad.
