Hi! My name is Elina and I am a professional Makeup Artist.

​

My passion for beauty began in my early teens, when I found myself constantly drawing shapes of eyes and female faces. I then began experimenting with my own features with makeup and instantly fell in love with the art. However, my very talent and passion for makeup rapidly came face to face with one of my teenage years biggest challenge: self-consciousness. After years of being at war with my own appearance because of how I compared myself to society's 'standard' beauty model, I finally let it go. I observed the belief that one should look a certain way for what it is: an illusion. An illusion designed to keep people chasing for perfection outside of themselves. The moment I released this belief out of my psyche, I realized how true inner-peace and the simple joy of being are not dependent on ones physical appearance, but go hand in hand with the understanding that who we truly are is far more than our body. We are the consciousness / soul inhabiting our body. 



I now pursue the art of makeup from this state of awareness instead of using makeup as a means to hide and perpetuate self-judgment. 



When our inner-peace and self-love is no longer tied to a particular beauty standard, makeup becomes what it was always meant to be: 



EXPRESSION, CREATIVITY, FUN & PLAY!
