Good makeup is makeup where people see you and not the makeup. That sounds simple, and it is exactly where things usually go wrong: a look that is beautiful in the mirror can read as a mask in a photograph, while a look built for the camera can be too heavy in person. So the first thing I ask is where you are going and what the light will be like.
Bridal makeup is the most demanding of all. It has to last twelve hours, survive tears, kissing, hugging and the Batumi summer heat, and still look right under a photographer's lighting. One detail people routinely forget: some mineral-SPF bases and HD powders cause white flashback in flash photography. So for bridal work I choose products with that in mind. I recommend brides book a trial — for the same reason as a hair trial: the morning of the wedding is not the time to experiment.
Evening makeup is bolder. Artificial light eats makeup, so what would be too much in daylight is exactly right after dark. Photoshoot makeup follows its own logic again: the camera exaggerates texture, so what matters is mattifying, the right base and precision in the contour, rather than luminosity. Day makeup is the opposite — minimal, with the aim of a face that looks rested rather than painted.
One thing I ask about specifically: allergies and skin. If you have ever reacted to an ingredient, if your skin is very sensitive, or if you have had anything done by a cosmetologist recently — tell me beforehand. This is not a formality; it changes which products and which technique I use. And if you have a product you trust, bring it and I will work with it.
What I do not do, so it is clear from the start: this page is about makeup. Lash extensions, permanent makeup and cosmetology treatments are not included here. If you want those as well, book them separately and leave a few days before your appointment with me.

How it goes
- 01
Where you are going, and the light
I find out the venue, the lighting and whether there will be photographs — that decides the products.
- 02
Preparing the skin
Cleansing and hydration. How long makeup lasts depends more on this step than on the makeup itself.
- 03
Base and contour
I match the base in natural light, and take it down the neck so there is no visible line at the jaw.
- 04
Eyes and lips
We choose the intensity together, in stages — you can tell me at any point that it is enough.
- 05
Setting and checking
I set the makeup and we check it in different light, in the mirror and on a phone camera.
Aftercare
- Keep your hands off your face during the day — that is the most common reason makeup breaks down
- Take the lip colour we used with you for touch-ups
- Blot with a mattifying tissue rather than adding powder — powder builds up in layers
- Always remove evening makeup before sleeping, however late it is
Frequently asked questions
- What products do you use?
- Professional products, chosen for different skin types. If you prefer a particular brand or you are allergic to an ingredient, tell me in advance or bring your own and I will work with it.
- How long does the makeup last?
- Day makeup through a working day; evening and bridal to the end of the event. Wear time depends more on how the skin was prepared than on setting spray, which is why I do not rush that step.
- Do I need a trial for a wedding?
- I strongly recommend it. At the trial we see how your skin behaves with the products and how the makeup photographs. The morning of the wedding is too late to be finding that out.
- Can I bring a reference photo?
- Please do — a photo is far more precise than words. The only caveat is that I will say so if the look will not suit your skin type or the shape of your face.
- How should my skin be when I arrive?
- Clean and moisturised. Avoid new, untested creams in the days before — reactions tend to appear exactly when you least want them.
