Russian makeup artist reveals unbelievable makeovers using only makeup

Russian makeup artist Vadim Andreev sees a celebrity in every single woman he meets.

"My secret is in the eye, I guess. I can see the beauty inside each person and show it to everybody," he tells the Daily Mail. "I believe that every common girl can become a glamorous celebrity."

All they need, he claims, is a little bronzer and under-eye concealer -- and of, course, his steady hand.

"I want to help everyone to see their own beauty, just sometimes it takes a little bit more time and a bit of a helping hand," the beauty veteran of 16 years adds.

Throughout his career, Andreev has worked for L'Oreal and a Russian television station, adorning the faces of models and actresses. In his downtime, he provides makeovers for brides and everyday women.

Andreev believes women don't need plastic surgery to look beautiful, and proves it by posting shocking before-and-after photos of makeover clients on his website.

"I started taking these photos to show people they can change, be more attractive, look and feel happier," he says.

And while many of his before-and-after shots depict heavy makeup and intense hair jobs, Andreev notes that even simple tricks can do wonders for women.

For example, a simple routine he recommends is a light concealer under the eyes, cream blush on top of the cheeks, bronzer under the cheekbones and chin, a sweep of black mascara on the lashes and warm pink gloss on the lips.

Andreev also offers online makeup tutorial videos on YouTube.
