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.

To highlight the power of his makeup artistry, Arber takes before-and-after photos of his clients and the results are truly astonishing.

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€

“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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think any of these are an improvement, certainly not for a wedding. Plus you are going to hugging and kissing people all day long; all that make-up isn't going to last. Way over the top.

These are awful. These women all look like beautiful human beings in the “before” photos, but they look like homogenized creepy dolls in the “after” photos. People, stop promoting this s**t as glamour, or “normal”, or as a look to be sought. This is not something to aim for; this is the uncanny valley! BE YOURSELF!

Each and every one of these ladies look WAY way worse with this plastic-looking s#it called make up than without anything on their faces. Creator of these... things.. shouldn't be allowed to call themselves an artist- artists are actually making things prettier / better, not worse.

I know most ladies want to look their best on their wedding day, but most of these makeovers are way over the top. They don't even look like themselves, and the makeup completely masks their natural attributes. Is it the same makeup artist?
comboplush 5 years ago
I wish the brides all the best and really hope they felt amazing on their wedding days, but I found it hard to estimate what was actual makeup and what was photoshop. The artist surely has a lot of skill, but some pictures are shopped so much (e.g. if you look at the natural folds under the eyes, those that bulge if you smile and that can be seen on the left, they are always completely gone in the right pic and no amount of makeup can achieve this). Would really have appreciated normal pictures here.

Pretty sure it was Shakespeare who wrote, "God gives you one face and you make yourselves another". These women look so unnaturally dissimilar to the real person, it's kinda creepy. Beautiful, but desperately fake.

It may look OTT when seen like this, these pics were taken indoors just after application. For professional photographs that are taken outside in sunlight or with artificial lighting & reflectors, much heavier makeup is needed otherwise the Bride will look washed out, pale & featureless especially in a shiny white dress that reflects light like a mirror. These women are all Beautiful but no bride wants her Magic day photos Marred by, pimples, dark under eye circles, blotchy skin, uneven skin tone, scars, freckles & blemishes. Brides need to not only “Feel” like their best self on their big day they need to believe they “Look” like their best self so if that means Going Red Carpet Glamour so be it, All brides want to look Fairy Princess Beautiful on their big day.

Some were a little too much, almost had a drag queen vibe to them. Such heavy base makes them look a little plastic. And the two inch eyelashes were too much. The makeup was good for what it was, it was just too transformative and heavy. You should be able to recognize the person at least.

Hey guys I think many people don't like this amount of makeup, but remember it's their choice, their face, and their wedding. Even though I personally wouldn't wear this amount, if the makeup makes you feel good about yourself, or raises your self esteem, then I say go for it. You may get to choose what you think about it, but you don't get to choose what makes them happy, so if someone wants to use an amount of makeup, then we should support them, because they are doing what makes them feel good and happy. (Sorry, hope that didn't come off as rude, I didn't mean for it to be)

I can only imagine the look of joy & horror as the Groom sees his Bride for the 1st time. His expectatiins will become deflated as soon as he realizes that THIS is not what he's gonna wake up to the rest of his life. Unless you are already a heavy make-up wearer, as I was, I would advise against this unrealistic makeover. As a Make-up Artist myself, for over 40+ yrs now, I can appreciate the talent & sheer artistry though.
Sonja Alcock 5 years ago
Heard about a guy who sued the family of the bride for presenting him a woman on his wedding day that didn't represent the woman he woke up with! Kind of reminds me of this. These girls do not look anything like themselves at all, and it's disappointing to know that as a bride they should be presenting their honest selves. I have done make up for brides before, and never used this amount of camoflauge......I made the ladies look like themselves only enhanced. My hubby has a wonderful saying....."A woman is like a cake. The cake on it's own is very appetizing, and the icing only enhances the cake. Too much icing ruins the cake."

This is also photoshopped, notice the lack of definition on the necks, as if their skin has been blurred, this is a common photoshop technique to make skin look more pristine. He's done it on the face too. If you have to photoshop your pics to make your makeup look its best, are you really that good at makeup? I can't wait for this cake face makeup trend to just die, it looks awful and is so far removed from reality. I don't begrudge the people that enjoy looking that way as an art form, but what bothers me is these women think they need to hide their natural features on their *wedding day* to a person who loves the person they see in the left hand pic, and yet these women feel like they need to look like someone else to feel beautiful? It's sad and untrue.

Don't like any of the pics after. They look way better Before! All exact same eyebrows, reshaping lips and thinning the nose for every single makeup pic, not to mention exact same eyeliner etc. They don't look like themselves afterward, some have completely different skin tones because of how much makeup is plastered on the faces and neck. Women should be proud of their natural faces, too! They are all beautiful without the makeup.

Unless this makeup artist is slathering foundation all the way down these women's décolleté, there is more than just makeup involved here - meaning there is some use of Photoshop smoothing filters. Regardless, this makeup is way OTT even on camera, and would look clownish in person - plus it would rub off on anyone who got near the bride. Nope.

I mean the brides look beautiful but they somehow all like very, very alike and if that is how bold the make-up looks in a photograph the actual look, would be super heavy and dark... kinda like Drag Queen Glamour make-up!

This isn't just makeup, most of them are photo-shopped. The noses and chins change shape. Blemishes aren't just covered, they are removed - you can't even see the texture of them. Freckles on arms and chests are gone. I get dressing up for an important day, but most of these erase the women they are.

You can do that with contour, and I guess you don't wear make up because there are foundations that cover everything.

I wore makeup for the first time in years for my wedding and then it was only a little eyeliner and color for the pictures. My husband says he loves how I look not how I make myself look. To me that is how it should be- love each other including whatever "flaws" each of you have. To begin a marriage having to hide the real you is not a good start.

It's called overlining your lips. Lots of people do it. Mariah Carey and Celine Dion are some who do. If you look closely at their album pictures you can see the overline. You outline your lips with a dark color and fill in with a lighter color. Most people don't see it unless you're really up in the person's face.

I wish the brides all the best and really hope they felt amazing on their wedding days, but I found it hard to estimate what was actual makeup and what was photoshop. The artist surely has a lot of skill, but some pictures are shopped so much (e.g. if you look at the natural folds under the eyes, those that bulge if you smile and that can be seen on the left, they are always completely gone in the right pic and no amount of makeup can achieve this). Would really have appreciated normal pictures here.

It may look OTT when seen like this, these pics were taken indoors just after application. For professional photographs that are taken outside in sunlight or with artificial lighting & reflectors, much heavier makeup is needed otherwise the Bride will look washed out, pale & featureless especially in a shiny white dress that reflects light like a mirror. These women are all Beautiful but no bride wants her Magic day photos Marred by, pimples, dark under eye circles, blotchy skin, uneven skin tone, scars, freckles & blemishes. Brides need to not only “Feel” like their best self on their big day they need to believe they “Look” like their best self so if that means Going Red Carpet Glamour so be it, All brides want to look Fairy Princess Beautiful on their big day.

Hey guys I think many people don't like this amount of makeup, but remember it's their choice, their face, and their wedding. Even though I personally wouldn't wear this amount, if the makeup makes you feel good about yourself, or raises your self esteem, then I say go for it. You may get to choose what you think about it, but you don't get to choose what makes them happy, so if someone wants to use an amount of makeup, then we should support them, because they are doing what makes them feel good and happy.

Same here. It’s not about our tastes though. It’s about the fact that women are being pressured to not look like themselves, and that’s horrible.

This is amazing... Wonderful work, it's art it's art. And every women looks like they are Immensely happy. Every woman deserves to look and feel like they want to on their special day, so kudos for you for doing that for these women wonderful. And let's face it not every women knows how to do make up. I'd love to have you do my face!! And yes I know I am beautiful. Every now and then you want to look fierce and this makeup is FIERCE with a capital F. So all of you tacitly shaming women for liking make up like this STFU. It's not about you. I LOVE YOUR WORK!!
