My journey began at the age of 5 when my mother opened her own beauty business. Back then, samples of new cosmetics often disappeared from her makeup bag - that's when I started my path as a beauty tester. I had an irresistible curiosity for all things makeup-related, which led me to explore my mother's cosmetic collection and experiment on my own face.Since those early days, my passion for makeup has evolved, but it remains just as vibrant. Today, my joy comes from using my skills to enhance the beauty of the wonderful girls around me, making their important days even brighter and more glamorous. It brings me immense satisfaction to see the smiles on their faces and the confedence radiating from within.

Katerina did an absolutely spectacular job with my wedding makeup. She truly listened to everything I wanted and customized the look to enhance my natural features in the most beautiful way. Her products are top-tier, and her meticulous attention to detail—bordering on perfectionism—meant my makeup stayed flawless all day and photographed beautifully.
Beyond her incredible talent, Katerina brought such a calm, soothing presence to what could have been a hectic morning. Her peaceful energy was exactly what I needed going into the big day. I sincerely can’t recommend her enough—not only for the quality of her work, but for the experience of working with her.

I am beyond satisfied and appreciative of the work Katerina and Yulia did for my wedding. I have never felt so effortlessly beautiful in my entire life ( although it took a lot of real effort and talent). My makeup and hair lasted all through the night, I received so many compliments that I was glowing. All thanks to the beautiful artistic craft of Katerina, she has an incredible way enhancing your natural beauty. They were also so accommodating to adding my sister-in-law for hair/ makeup services. I would definitely recommend their work for your wedding or any other special event in your life!
