16 happy transformations of girls who finally learned how to make up

In the American segment of Instagram, a flash mob "Shine" took place: novice makeup artists and just girls who are fond of makeup shared their first attempts to make up beautifully. Next to them they placed new pictures — and this is a completely different matter.

Michael from Miami writes: "There is absolutely always something to improve. You can compare my first attempt to put on makeup and how I do it now. Almost three years difference. There is always a benefit from practice."

Sydney Nicole from Denver (@voodoobarbiedoll on instagram): "Sometimes I look at my old photos and just think, "What the hell is this." On the left I was four years ago, and on the right I am now. All you need is practice, dedication and commitment."

Claudia from Jamaica (@claudia_mua_skincare): "To be honest, my makeup was great in 2014, and it remains great in 2017. All this is self-confidence, perseverance and perseverance, and all this together is called "growth". Don't give up what you love, even if you sometimes want to do it."

Kay Arian (@kay_ariane): "Every time I see my makeup photo taken more than a year ago, I wince. I just don't understand what I was thinking at all. Does everyone see those painted eyebrows? And the shadows are not even shaded. I can't do that. I wish Facebook would stop showing us old posts already, otherwise it's just not fair."

Courtney Hargrove (@kortneymacaela): "We need to remember that it was around the end of 2014. Practice brings results."

Fabby Leon from California (@FabyRucheesz on twitter): "I started at the bottom, and now I'm here."

Frankie from Houston (@msbyfrankie): "I did my first real makeup six months before the left photo, so I'm just a baby in the world of cosmetics there. lolol. Phone cameras have also become better, on the right is a completely different matter."

Monica Bastos (@beautylover87): "Wow, what a huge difference! I have said before that practice does not lead you to the ideal, but it makes you better day by day."

Shelby (@shelbys_looks): "Five years ago and now. It's good that I learned how to draw wing eyebrows, because squiggle eyebrows are not so cute, and I'm almost sure that my eyebrows were shaved off."

Daniel from Kansas (@riddl3zluvzmakeup): "I appreciate the way I've come, and I'm horrified, of course, haha."

Yvonne (@noturhyna): "I can't believe how much progress I've made in makeup in three years! I just don't understand why I thought it was okay to leave the house with such terrible eyebrows."

Ranver Villamil from Chicago (@ranviermua): "Thank you @patrickstarrr for making this the most memorable year for me. I am finally discovering my creative abilities and developing new beginnings."

Rose Vega (@rosevegabeauty): "I want to show you where I started: I didn't know many things, and my skills weren't always good, haha. I've been practicing a lot and I still do it to get better every day. If you have the determination and you love your job, no one will stop you on the way to your dream. I believe in you."
