The dramatic transformations (because really, they can’t be considered anything else) featured in this collection are definitely a testament to Vadim Andreev’s amazing talents, although they nevertheless raise some important questions about what exactly constitutes ‘beauty’. Regardless of this fact, however, there is no denying that Vadim Andreev is one make up artist who definitely knows his craft.
