As a professional makeup, I'm skilled in applying cosmetics to enhance a person's appearance, often working in the fashion, entertainment, or beauty industry. I use makeup to create various looks, from natural to dramatic, and may specialize in areas like theatrical, special effects and bridal makeup.
As a professional hairstylist, I specialize in cutting, coloring, and styling hair. I work as a freelance artist and provide a range of services, including haircuts, blowouts, hair coloring, extensions, and various hairstyling techniques. My skills are essential in helping clients achieve the hairstyle they desire.
It all began when I was just 12 years old and started experimenting with makeup on myself and my friends.
I have been in this field for almost 23 years now, which may sound scary to say, but it's true!
In the 10th grade, my mother sent me to a college of hairstyling in Kyiv to help me decide whether I wanted to pursue a career in this field. It was then that I became convinced that this was exactly what I wanted to do!
After that, I enrolled in the All-Ukrainian School of Style and Makeup. In 2003, learned two diplomas, which confirmed my professional qualifications in field of hairstyling, makeup and designer.
Become to Canada I still went to college to upgrade my skills.
I completed 6 month courses at CMU college for Fashion Makeup/Hairstyle/SPFX.
In my collection, I have 6 awards in the category of Glamour Evening Makeup ABA Toronto, including 3 first places and 3 second.
But the biggest victory for me was in an International competition. I represented Canada at the International Championship in Germany in 2015, with the theme of Wedding Makeup.
The competition took place in Düsseldorf, Germany (against 15 of the best makeup artists from different countries). We had to do wedding makeup on a model in 30 minutes on stage, after which the judges evaluated our work. Waiting for the decision was the most nerve-wracking moment!
