I've never been a "girly" girl, so when I first told people that I was going to be a make-up artist, the general reaction was shock and bewilderment. "You hardly ever wear makeup yourself!" This was true, but I felt that the point of makeup wasn't in the quantity anyway. In my own makeup routine, I'm constantly looking for simple, neat solutions, which is why my professional makeup style is also characterised by wearability, understatement and authenticity. I like to bring out the best in my guests, in a way that when they look in the mirror, they see an elevated version of themselves.
A passion for beauty, romantic stories and the arts has been an essential part of me since childhood. I was a real dreamer, wandering magical lands of fairies, princesses, dragons, vampires and heroes in my mind.
Growing up I studied art history, worked in creative jobs, tried my hand at many things, but deep down I remained a daydreaming little girl obsessed with fantasy, romance and fairytales.
For me, weddings are the manifestation of these fairytales in a cynical world based on rationality. My brides will always have a special place in my heart. It is the biggest honor, the trust with which these wonderful women allow me to be a part of such an important day.
Even though my main focus is bridal makeup, I'm happy to do makeup for other special occasions, photoshoots, campaigns etc.
On one of the most important days of your life, it's only natural that you want to be in safe hands when it comes to your makeup.

"Everything was SO perfect and I can't thank you enough! Everyone loved their makeup! I am so thankful that we found each other and you made me the most beautiful woman! David said between two tears that he has the most beautiful wife!"
"Lili fulfilled my every request (even the unspoken ones) and gave me a natural, "no-makeup" makeup look that lasted until dawn on a summer day, without any accidents. The kindness and empathy she showed to me, a bride who thought she couldn't wear makeup is truly unparalleled."
"It was very reassuring to see Lili's equipment and the meticulous hygiene she applies in her work. My makeup stayed in place for long, long hours on the big day despite all the crying, and in the photos I can see that my best features were highlighted."
