A woman has taken to TikTok to demonstrate her unbelievable makeup skills.
People are so wowed by Valeria Voronina's transformations that they often question whether it's the same person before and after.
Some have even gone so far as to suggest that she is using magic to create her incredible looks.
In many of her TikTok videos, Valeria begins by posing with a totally bare face, oversized glasses, and her hair worn unflatteringly in braids.
In one recent clip, she added overlay text to the image of herself before makeup that read: "Him: 'You're too ugly to be talking to me.'"
However, after pouting at the camera, Valeria suddenly transforms as the video cuts to a view of her fully glammed up. In the next shot, the makeup artist poses with voluminous hair, dramatic lashes, and a flawlessly made-up face as she lip syncs: "I don't want to talk to you."
Many of Valeria's other videos follow a similar pattern, beginning with her 'bare-faced' and ending with her looking almost unrecognizable.
Unsurprisingly, many viewers were astonished by her incredible makeup transformations. They took to the comments section to gush over her skill, with many going so far as to say the transformations defied science.
"What in the Paul Daniel's magic trick is going on here," one person wrote, while another commented: "That's not makeup, that's magic."
Others simply couldn't believe that it was the same person before and after. "Definitely not the same person," one commented. Another agreed, writing: "I suspect it’s a different person."
However, others thought there was a simpler explanation for the unbelievable transformation. They explained that Valeria had used makeup on both her before and after looks so that they would be as far apart as possible.
"Very talented! She has used makeup in both the before and after lol just in different ways - smart lady," one viewer commented. A second person pointed out the same thing: "The before is makeup as well. she’s actually very pretty without makeup!!"
