On Instagram, there are more than 500,000 pictures posted with the #powerofmakeup hashtag. Women show how they turn into different people with the help of cosmetics and these changes are just amazing. For some girls, makeup is a way to cope with skin imperfections and some women use various beauty products just to express themselves.
