Ask any woman who’s visited a good beauty salon and she’ll agree that a little makeup and a new hairdo are effective ways to lift one’s mood. While struggling through everyday hassles, we often forget about how beautiful we are. Oxana Trunova, a makeup artist and the creator of “Beauty Academy,” together with hairstylist Olga Tarasova, are modern fairies who help women become more confident. And they manage to eloquently convey each of their client’s stories and character traits.
These talented masters work on the “Blind Transformation” project where clients only see the final result. Teachers, medical workers, entrepreneurs, financial workers, and housekeepers are just some of these artists’ many clients. Bright Side invites you to have a look at how masterfully they make these transformations.

Hopefully, these photos motivate you to love and pamper yourself, and to be more open to change. Do you let your hairdresser experiment with your style?
Beautiful, deserving ladies! They ALL have gorgeous eyes before the makeover, so I had no doubts they would still look so beautiful. I hope they had a good day being pampered and now all of us get to see that they all work hard and maybe learned a new makeup technique to really make their gorgeous eyes pop! Fun hairstyles too, something fresh and exciting- hope they love their new hair lengths!!
I'm sure there are plenty of people who said this to their hair dresser but then ended up with something they didn't like or enjoyed at all :D
I couldn't do this because I don't really trust my barber that much :/
