Even if you haven’t heard of the insanely talented Russian duo bringing smiles back to women’s faces, you have probably seen their work on social media. The Moscow-based makeup artist Oksana Trunova and hairstylist Olga Tarasova have been leaving everyone stunned upon seeing their “blind makeovers.”

Having started five years ago, the duo helped to create new looks for thousands of women who wanted a change but didn’t know where to start. “Do something,” the clients would tell Oksana when she still worked in a beauty salon, and that’s when she realized it takes a lot of work, creativity and magic to make a truly dramatic change that makes people shine from within.

So scroll down to see some of the most breathtaking transformations made by Oksana and Olga, upvote your favorite before and after pics, and make sure to check out our previous posts on the “freestyle makeovers” by the talented Russian beauty duo here and here.

Bored Panda reached out to the Moscow-based makeup artist Oksana Trunova, who, along with her colleague, hairstylist Olga Tarasova, has been ‘freestyling’ these incredible makeovers, helping many women leave the salon way happier than when they came.

Oksana and Olga have been doing these makeovers for many years now, and they said they “realized that women are all beautiful, but for many reasons, many have forgotten about it.” “For example, they may have been affected by the loss of a loved one, leaving work, illness, etc.” Oksana said her goal is to “bring back life and confidence in them.”

I hate it when they don't include glasses in the makeover. Not everyone can or wants to wear contacts and not everyone can afford multiple pairs of glasses. If you want to look prettier every day, you have to include them. Snd even for a dingle occasion you might not be able to take them off.

When asked if every woman is happy with her makeover, Oksana assured us that “everyone leaves happy and everyone likes it, but sometimes we ourselves are not happy with the work we’ve done.” The makeup artist also said that it usually takes 3 days for a woman to get used to her new looks after the transformation, and that’s when she feels her best.

Wow, what a change! Gives her a fuller look, rather than sitting flat. Very nice

Moreover, very young and teenage customers are the ones Oksana usually has the hardest time working with. “As a rule, they themselves know what they want,” she explained.

"After coming to our salon, our clients learn to do their makeup that is not noticeable, yet the face looks fresh and well-maintained,” Oksana said after being asked if clients continue to use what they learned during a makeover after they leave.
