Your wedding day is one of the most beautiful and photographed moments of your life. When a bride looks at herself in the mirror just minutes before walking down the aisle, I want her to see herself — not the makeup. This is my philosophy and what I strive to achieve with every woman who trusts me with the most important day of her life. For me, perfect bridal makeup is built on two non-negotiable rules: outstanding longevity in every condition and absolute photogenicity under the professional photographer’s lights.
Longevity That Makes No Compromises
Bridal makeup in Athens, especially during the summer months, must be impeccable. Tears of joy, summer heat, embraces, dancing until dawn — the makeup must withstand everything without losing its freshness and radiance. At the same time, I use specialized techniques that avoid a flat appearance in photographs — emphasizing the right angles and the vitality of your face, without weighing down the skin.
It All Starts with Skin Preparation
The secret to radiant and long-lasting makeup lies not only in the foundation — it lies in how we prepare our canvas. Proper skin preparation (skin prep) is the most important step before I begin the first strokes. Before applying any product, I dedicate time to deep hydration and rejuvenation of your face. Using premium moisturizing creams and specialized primers, I restore the elasticity and natural radiance of the skin. This process ensures that the products lock in perfectly — delivering that coveted glowing skin result that lasts all day.
Premium Products from the World’s Top Beauty Brands
I make no compromises on the products I use. In my kit you will find exclusively top-tier, authentic brands from the global cosmetics market: Dior Backstage, Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel, MAC, Fenty Beauty, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Tom Ford, Laura Mercier, Huda Beauty, Too Faced, Inglot and other professional brands trusted by makeup artists worldwide. Every product — from primer and high-end foundation to eyeshadow palettes and translucent setting powders — is selected for its premium quality, skin-friendliness and outstanding performance in front of the lens.
Every Bride is Unique
There is no single bridal look that suits everyone. Every woman has different skin, different features, a different style. Some dream of a soft glam with natural radiance. Others want something more dramatic. Others seek something timeless that they will look back on in 20 years and still feel wonderful about. This is why every collaboration begins with a bridal trial — a calm meeting where we discuss your vision, try different looks, adjust and arrive at the look that truly expresses you. The trial is not optional — it is the guarantee that on your wedding day there are no surprises.
At Your Venue, Across Athens and the Athens Riviera
Bridal preparation should be an experience of relaxation and luxury. That is why I come to you — at your home, venue or hotel. Whether your wedding takes place in central Athens, the southern suburbs like Glyfada and Vouliagmeni, or you are planning a destination wedding along the Athens Riviera — I will be there. Continuous education and staying up to date with the latest techniques and products is something I never stop pursuing — because in makeup, as in every art form, there is always something new to learn. If you are planning your wedding and would like to discuss your bridal look, get in touch. I would love to meet you.
Bridal Party
Bridal Party Makeup
On the wedding day, the women standing beside the bride — her bridesmaids, her koumbara, her mother and sisters — are in every photograph too. That is why I prepare the bridal party with the same attention to detail and the same premium products I use for the bride.
I personally create every look in the bridal party. The same hands that prepare the bride prepare every bridesmaid and koumbara — a deliberate choice, because it gives the whole party the same quality, the same aesthetic and the same attention to detail, and your photographs show one harmonious whole. I allow about 90 minutes per person, so we plan the morning together and everyone is ready calmly, with no rush before the photos and the ceremony.
- ~90 minutes per person
- Bride + up to 4 as standard

As standard I take on the bride plus up to four more people. Larger parties may be accommodated by special arrangement. Before anything is booked, we talk together about how you picture your day and who we will be getting ready. For planning the morning, see my wedding-morning timeline guide.
