35 Women Before And After Their Makeup Transformations By Maria Kalashnikova

Everyone likes different things. Especially when it comes to makeup. Some like to wear a lot of bold and extravagant makeup, some like a more natural look. Both and all approaches to makeup are valid. Everyone should be able to wear whatever they want and as much of it as they want. All over the world, expectations for women are really high, so at least we should let them and everyone else look how they want to look.

That's why it's so amazing what makeup artist Maria Kalashnikova does for women. She listens to what they want and transforms these beautiful ladies with makeup. There is no doubt they look stunning without it, but wearing makeup is not about looking more beautiful: it's about looking different, it's about changing up your look to match your style, mood, or event. And it's about having fun and playing with your appearance, creating art on your face and body.

Maria is very skilled at using makeup. She manages to bring out the best features in people's faces and make them glow. Maria has clients lined up for special occasions, events or just to pamper themselves. It's very amazing to see the happy and glowing faces of women when the artist is done with them.

There is a stereotype going around that women wear makeup for other people, especially men. Well, the thing is that most women wear it for themselves. Makeup is just part of your look and style. It's still the same person underneath all that makeup. Most women know they don't need it to look beautiful, but they still want to wear it because it's fun. And if some women don't, that's completely ok! Let's try to support and understand each other.

This is one of the best, because she's not loaded with eye makeup. It looks more natural and accents her features without overwhelming them.

It's quite ridiculous to hear that women are "catfishing" people by wearing makeup. I mean, isn't it obvious they don't have golden eyelids, bright red lips, or flushed pink cheeks? If you get tricked into thinking that a woman with a full face of makeup actually looks like that all the time, how is that the woman's problem?

I like that she smiled in both pictures. Having the smile in the before helps highlight that makeup only transforms so much. The smile transforms just as much.

Most of these girls/women look far prettier natural. I'm not a fan of this really heavy makeup trend that's the "in" thing at the moment. Some of the more dramatic looks are nice as a statement, but to show some more natural makeup looks wouldve been nice. Some of the after pics dont look like real people anymore and it's sad that women and young girls are striving to keep with this trend because thwyve been conditioned to thinking it's what they need to do to look good. I like makeup, I wear it myself almost every day. But a lot of these are just far too much.

Almost all of these women look far more attractive - much more "real"- in the "natural" images. The made-up images look for all the world like clones of a single woman, or plastic inflateable dolls.

Hermione 3 years ago

Could be a cultural thing, but I prefer the before photos for most of these. Make-up should be subtle and enhance natural features, not completely dominate and change the face.

Anna Banana 3 years ago

It would actually be nice to see more middle ground, instead of the "all or nothing" approach with the very unnatural end result.

I absolutely agree. make up should lighten up the face, keeping the natural lines and skin tone.

exactly. i don't get the plastic look.

Stella 3 years ago

All these ladies look beautiful, but honestly, these make overs show exactly what the problem with the Hollywood look is. It's literally a drawing that can be applied to almost any face, a completely artificial beauty standard that even Hollywood stars can only achieve with professional help, lots of time and money. But still women get compared to that standard in daily life, by themselves, men, and other women.

Most of these have still been filtered. You can’t flatten lines and wrinkles with makeup. Once again it proves that what society says is “ attractive” is still not possible even with a fabulous make up artist. It’s all so fake
