In the world of unrealistic standards and Photoshop mania, real beauty is a breath of fresh air. And while some share their unedited selfies on Instagram, Olga Kamenetskaya creates gorgeous dolls that look almost real.

Olga is a Ukranian artist who started repainting dolls as a hobby, but it later turned into her profession. She takes mass-produced dolls, such as Monster High girls or Barbies, and turns them into totally new, unique and one-of-the-kind dolls. They each have little "flaws," like real people have, which she includes by not only repainting but also modifying dolls' shapes and working with wigs. “I don’t like when the new face of the doll is ideal and perfectly symmetrical, it makes it lifeless,” Olga told Vogue. “I always deliberately leave some flaw that may not be noticeable to everyone, but [gives] the doll invisible charisma. Perhaps, this flawed beauty is the message that my dolls carry.”

Below you can find some of the amazing "flawed" beauties by Olga Kamenetskaya.

She uses different types of lino-cutters and sandpapers to change the form of the lips.

This isn't the same doll. Lips are a different mold and chin is sharper

Strange that you could pick the difference here David, when you can't even see the obvious financial stats and true facts of your own business.

Not the same doll. The lips are completely different. Makeup cannot change the shape of the molded plastic. Plus the chin is different, as is the hairline. Don't get me wrong, this is excellent work. But make sure the before and after images are of the same doll.

The hyperrealistic eyes that end up very wide set due to the original doll's facial structure just make the new doll that much creepier.

It would look better on barbies. The realism is nice but, the eyes look so tiny. The monster high dolls are more bigger eyes. It’s ok I guess, just weird.

The natural looking doll is much more beautiful than the made-up one.

Ukraine seems to have many beautiful women, I must visit to worship them in person.

It doesn't even look like the char shes meant to be based off! I know Ever After fans who would be screaming.

The smile is not the same doll. What, from full lips to a half smile?? It's either been photoshopped or it's a completely different doll.

Good job on the repaint. However, I kinda like the expression of the one on the left. She looks annoyed and cynical. That's... Pretty real.

Is that Raven queen? She looks better after but I kind of wish it kept her hair even though I love the new hair

I like that the Monster High ones are keeping with the theme of the doll, rather than changing them completely.

Gave myself bangs like that once in the mid-80s, when they were decidedly not in style. This is what happens when you attempt to perfect straight bangs in the summer, on a tropical island, on curly hair with paper scissors.

If this evil creeper shows up in my dreams tonight I'll have to quit Bored Panda forever.

This difference in the face expression, from kind to kinda aggressive, pretty much calls for a meme. (Pretty good, btw)
