Must have something to do with societies that are declining and depopulating rapidly, which describes both Ukraine and Japan
Just can’t put my finger on it exactly.

O_oI just don't understand it.
Ukrainian Women (like Japanese Women) are naturally beautiful, why they do this stuff is beyond me.

Wowsers. I wonder...are fully functional or if they are...er....'smooth'...like a Barbie Doll?
One can only speculate what other types of cosmetic surgery they've had to replicate the look of a Barbie.

They don’t look human, imho. I’m also not a fan of heavy makeup.

This isn’t the “barbie doll” look. It’s a trend mimicking Japanese anime characters, or the “Anime Look”.
The makeup, clothing, and hair isn’t as disturbing as those girls who are tight-lacing with corsets, and dieting to achieve the definitely unhealthy looking body shape. Some like Anastasiya Shpagina are even undergoing plastic surgery (having ribs removed and such) to achieve the proper physique. I’ve even seen some that have altered their chins to become more triangular and pointed... It’s the extreme body modification I have problems with, but to each his own I guess... I think it’s sad though that these girls may grow up and really regret transforming themselves in such a permanent and extreme manner.
Anyway, it’s definitely not about being “Barbie” at all... even though I’ve seen more than a few “Western” media outlets referring to it as such. It’s similar to cosplay, but instead of dressing as a specific character, these girls are adapting their looks to the anime style of makeup, hair, and clothing.
