13. Blemish Free
@Goar_Avetisyan / Instagram
At some point in our lives, everyone suffers from the nuisance that is a blemish. And they always seem to pop up at just the worse moment: before prom, a job interview, your first date. They just seem to sense the most inconvenient time and take over your face for all to see.
This girl has transformed her blemished face to a smooth and even canvas hiding all imperfections.
12. Where Did the Freckles Go?

Freckles are beautiful little sun kisses upon the skin. However, sometimes you might just want that perfectly flawless look, regardless of the light sprinkling of freckles on your face.
Looking at the right side of the face above, you wouldn’t think that it would be possible to create such coverage. The makeup transformation on the left side of the face clearly proves all unbelievers wrong. Flawless coverage!

A good blow-dry adds lift and volume to the hair, and a good makeover adds color and definition to the face.
This transformation looks 10x better! Someone please take this lady on a date immediately.
