Makeup might not heal wounds but it can help people live with them. And that's exactly what Armenia-born and Moscow-based beauty guru Goar Avetisyan specializes in. Avetisyan regularly gives makeovers to women suffering from cancer or severe skin conditions, and her work not only dramatically changes their appearance but boosts their confidence, too.

Looking at the before-and-after shots of her subjects, Avetisyan's 4.6 million-big Instagram following doesn't come as a surprise. Lashings of concealer, lip liner and clouds of hairspray - as well as brilliant contouring - and they all look excited about their new looks. Scroll down to check out the unbelievable transformations and upvote your favorites.

    I feel as if the hair, although less drastic than the makeup, also plays a big part in the makeover

    She still is beautiful without the make up and her hair (left picture). She "just" looks tired, concerned and less happy.

    Perfectly shaped features. A very pretty woman. If I knew her I'd recommend laser resurfacing to her. I used to perform laser on people and it works very very well. It's amazing.
