All these women are beautiful anyway. Why can’t that be the message? Why send the massage that they can only be queens under layers of make up? How is that any different to photo filters and photoshop?
Kimberly Young 6 years ago
I think a good takeaway from this article is that the women we see on TV and in magazines are subject to this sort of makeup and hair treatment all the time. "Normal" women feel bad for not looking that way, but in reality, it takes a team of professionals to get someone looking that gorgeous most of the time. It honestly makes me feel good looking at these photos, because it reveals the facade that the beauty industry really is.

This article title is misleading, it is not just hairstyles but a whole bloody makeover. Some even look like they have had nose jobs, lip fillers and Botox etc. This is not empowering. This is telling women that you have to transform your whole self to be considered beautiful.
Daria Ave 6 years ago
Indeed, many of them had nose jobs, breast augmentation, teeth. Botox and fillers too.

these are all obviously photoshopped since they have taken away moles and freckles on the neck and chest. Made breasts larger or lifted in some case. not accurate at all.

Hmmm, didn't realize the "Transformation" includes the background change. Does she really have makeup/coverage all the way down to her bodice? Seems like a LIE when only the transformation photo is Photoshopped.

looks like someone got her a well-fitting bra (notice the underwire poking up in the middle in the 'before' shot). that'll go miles towards helping her with any esteem issues, as well as simply feeling better.

many of these are photoshopped, they have taken off moles and removed freckles from the neck and chest. Some of them have larger or lifted breasts, completely different skin tone on their bodies from the before. Yes some of it is lighting but a lot of it is photoediting.

Her makeup looks great, but I'm gonna risk ridicule to express my screaming dislike of this hair cut. She had healthy, natural, versatile, low maintenance long hair. The possibilities were practically endless. Which is why his choice is hard to believe. He gave her a single-style, HIGH maintenance haircut that is an awkward length and texture, with expensive highlights which will need to be reapplied monthly, in a several hour process. Not sure if the loose beach waves are her own hair texture, but it seriously looks like she has a coating of sticky hairspray over the whole razor-cut disaster. This is an example of how years of great haircare can wash down the drain in one afternoon, when your stylist cares more about your "transformation" and their own portfolio than your hair and needs.
Laura Roberts 6 years ago
I definitely agree with a lot of what you said but I do like her new part. I am a side parter though.. cannot pull off any other part. She also might have wanted lighter hair, but yes that’s a lot of upkeep. The copper in my (naturally) darker hair blends well enough so I don’t go NEARLY as often as other women to get touch ups. By design and my nature to not spend!! It was probably about a year before another cut and copper added. I also love being able to braid mine and can’t pull of shorter hair. So yes I agree lol

During the transformation, dentists and psychologists work with them. Perhaps they do not smile at the photo before because they are sad and they do not have very good teeth.

The dress in the after photo reminds me of something that Carrie Bradshaw (Sex in the City) would wear. These women all have gorgeous bone structures- I'm not a fan of heavy makeup for everyday, but special occasions it's appropriate. Even so, most of the makeup here looks tasteful and the haircuts are complimentary. (I'd even go to these stylists for a makeover if I had a big event- but only if they'd keep my hair mint green, which I love)

Is it just me or does it seem like they are using photoshop onto of the 'after' pics? Or it's a lot of makeup. They are beautiful either way but if you're going to do before and after pics, they shouldn't be altered with photoshop.

To be fair, if you choose the right glasses that complements your face, glasses can actually be a better look.

She's super cute in the first one; no need for the after. The makeup covers all her freckles and I don't prefer the pasty smooth skin look they have in the second. All I have to say is that if she were smiling more in the first pic it would easily show it's better than the second.

I think these are obviously done by different people or companies. Some have the tag @на10летмоложе, where they look like different people entirely. Some have that ridiculously colorful background, crazy amounts of makeup, using Facetune, and skimpy clothing. And then there's ones like this that honestly look like they just gave the women nice hairstyles and maybe a little makeup refresher for the photo (or maybe the women did it themselves even, I know I always touch mine up before my stylist takes their "after" shots of me lol)
