Hi there, my name is Irina and I'm a passionate makeup artist with over 16 years of experience. I'm also a registered nurse and I've made it my mission to take my love for makeup more seriously. Despite the current situation, safety is my top priority and I strictly follow sanitation and safety guidelines set by the Makeup Artist Sanitation Standards (MASS), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
I firmly believe that makeup isn't just about looks, it's an essential part of self-care that contributes to both mental and physical health. With that in mind, I always give my clients a detailed skin consultation and research the products' ingredients to ensure that their skin remains healthy.
My main goal is to make my clients feel safe, comfortable, and confident while getting their makeup done. Whether it's for a special occasion like a wedding, prom, or a photoshoot, or just a fun night out, I listen to my clients' needs and make sure they leave with a smile on their face.
Apart from makeup services, I also provide private one-on-one makeup lessons for beginners to advanced learners either in person or virtually. To make the process more efficient and specific, I send a pre-event survey to my clients at the time of confirmation.
If you're in Glenview IL or the surrounding areas, I'm available to travel to you for an additional fee. Please check below for more information.

Irina is absolutely amazing. I informed her that I did not have any particular makeup style in thoughts and just gave her the freedom to work her magic. The outcome was so stunning that I felt incredibly beautiful.

Irina is fantastic! She was highly communicative, displayed a great deal of professionalism, and was an enjoyable and affable person to be around. I received a two-hour makeup lesson from her that honed in on the application of eye shadow. She demonstrated how to correctly prime my eyes prior to applying eye shadow, shared valuable tips on enhancing the eye shadow's visibility, and provided insight on creating both a daytime and evening eye shadow appearance. She went above and beyond to match her lesson plan to my specific requirements and preferences. I am keen to engage her services again for subsequent lessons.

Irina was an absolute delight to work with and my experience with her was flawless. Her talent is truly exceptional and she made sure to guide me throughout the entire process whilst being punctual and accommodating. Needless to say, I was elated with how stunning I looked at my wedding dinner - even my mother who is usually difficult to please was thoroughly thrilled with her makeup. I cannot recommend Irina enough!

Irina did an outstanding job with my makeup for the wedding I attended. She was attentive to my specific preferences, took her time with me, and ensured I received exactly what I desired. Additionally, Irina was incredibly sweet and promptly answered any inquiries I had. I strongly endorse her services and plan to schedule her again in the future.
