Yelena understood exactly what I wanted for my wedding makeup. As a person who doesn't wear any on a daily basis, I really wanted to look natural and she helped me achieve the perfect look. At the same time, we were going for a vintage theme and Yelena matched my makeup to the vintage hairstyle and dress really well. She was extremely flexible and managed to accommodate all my requests in terms of timing etc. My trial was done in full, but due to restrictions on the day of my wedding, she could only do my eyes. She left plenty of products and tips for me to finish the bottom part of my face on

Yelena did such an amazing job doing my sister's, my mom's and my own make up for my wedding. If you are looking for a MUA, she is your girl!! There were several factors that made our experience with Yelena so great:
1. The make up was absolutely gorgeous, and exactly what we asked for. She worked with us to make sure we looked as we wanted and that we were satisfied.
2. She was punctual and very efficient, showed up at the agreed time and was able to get all of us completed earlier than anticipated with wonderful results!
3. Communicating with her was super easy and reliable: she consistently

This is the third time I’ve had my makeup done by Yelena. If you’re ever looking for someone who knows what’s up with makeup, this is your person. Yelena knows what she’s doing. Her makeup lasts and the extra care she gives to attention and detail will leave you feeling beautiful without that caked on feeling. The makeup she uses Is high quality and she is extremely hygienic with all her tools. She listens to what you want and makes it happen. 10/10 recommend - weddings, editorial, business…everything.

I had a private make up lesson with Yelena. She was very professional and listen to my needs. She understood perfectly when I was looking for and made sure it was easy enough for me to learn and do on my own.
She provided me with a very well made chart where she put all the make up suggestions for me. No specific brand but suggestions and colours that suit me personally. On top of that she is always available for any questions even after the session.
I highly recommend Yelena if you want to learn how to apply make up. Weather you want to learn how to do a day to day make up, Smokey eyes Yelena

Yelena did my make-up for my wedding day and she did an amazing job. She is friendly, professional, and has an eye for tailoring make-up based on individual features. During my bridal make-up trial, Yelena took her time to explain each step of the process and listened to how I wanted my make-up done. On my wedding day, there was a group of 6 of us who got our make-up done. Everyone loved their make-up and had nothing but positive things to say. Thank you Yelena :)
Highly recommend her services!

Yelena is incredible. I always have a hard time figuring out what to do with my eyes (they’re inset, very hooded, dark and “ethnic”). She painted my face with confidence, fitness, great banter and a wonderful sense of humour. I felt confident and beautiful all day. My make up didn’t budge even a little bit. And we danced HARD.
Yelena, you rock. Thank you so much. 10/10 would recommend. 5 stars. Love you.

Yelena did my and my wife's makeup for our wedding pictures, and she did a fabulous job! My wife and I were looking for different things - she wanted subtle makeup and I wanted long lashes and the whole bridal treatment. Yelena was able to capture this perfectly for both of us. She was also very professional, accommodating with the timing and location, friendly and attentive, and careful with hygiene and proper masking. We highly recommend her!

I had a wonderful time working with Yelena. She was incredibly professional and approachable. She was very easy to get a hold of and easy to communicate with in the months leading up to my wedding. We didn't have a trial so she planned extra time so we could talk about what I wanted for makeup. I am not someone who wears makeup regularly and she did an amazing job making me feel beautiful but still looking like myself. She was very considerate of all my bridesmaids and my mother's different styles. I would highly recommend Yelena for makeup services!

Yelena did wedding make up for myself and my maid of honour. I don't have enough positive words to describe her services and her talent. She is incredible. Her approach to me, as the bride, was thoughtful and creative, she truly wanted to figure out exactly what I wanted and make me feel exactly how I wanted to feel! I strongly suggest getting a trial session in addition to her day-of service as it gave Yelena a chance to figure out my personality and then focus in on what I was trying to describe in terms of what I imagined as my perfect wedding make up. On the day she was relaxed, friendly and

Where do I even begin!! Yelena was my makeup artist for my wedding this past weekend and I could not be more thankful to her. I have never ever felt more beautiful in my entire life. I felt like I stepped out of a fairytale. I usually keep my makeup super natural, so needed Yelena's guidance and eye for beauty when deciding exactly what I wanted. She made sure I was in love with every detail. Yelena's skills and experience are impressive, her knowledge is extensive, she is professional, and truly a delight. Also- during the wedding, there was an unfortunate Champagne spill in the brides

Yelena has been my go to make up artist for close to a year now. As a boudoir photographer, I team up with artists that will not only make my clients look absolutely beautiful, but that will hype clients up and empower them throughout the whole makeover process. Well, Yelena is definitely the artist for that!
I honestly cannot say enough about this talented soul. From a professional stand point, she is always on time, professional, respectful, and very personable and friendly. My clients and I are ALWAYS blown away by her work, and her attention to detail is like no other. I call Yelena my little
