Makeup is an incredible way to enhance your features and transform your face. Whether you just prefer a little bit of mascara or like to have a full face of foundation and setting powder, there's no denying that for many of us, makeup not only changes how you look on the outside, but also how you feel on the inside. The confidence boost that comes with dressing your face up exactly the way you want has helped women everywhere be happier about themselves… and some of the results are truly jaw-dropping.
Sadly, many women are shamed for their love of makeup by people who think they wear it to impress men or because they're insecure about their looks. In a video that went completely viral, a woman fought against this idea by showing us that most women wear makeup only for themselves (and surprised everyone with how much she transformed her face). She ended up inspiring a movement on social media that had women everywhere putting makeup on half their face to show off their skills and their love for the art. I'm definitely jealous of their talent!
Check out these unbelievable transformations that were made possible through the power of makeup and some seriously skilled women. I can hardly believe that number 7 is the same woman in both photos! These ladies are all beautiful both before and after dolling up their faces, but what makes them truly gorgeous is the confidence that radiates from these pictures.
