Bridal makeup artist in Lisbon, Portugal

I fell in love with makeup artistry due to my love of beauty and beautiful things around me.

I was fascinated by how the right makeup, applied strategically, could instantly elevate someone's appearance. I was obsessed! I enjoyed doing makeup on my friends and family until eventually, I decided to pursue makeup artistry as a full-time profession. It felt like the perfect way to express my love for beauty in a tangible way. I now enjoy working with women of all different backgrounds and it gives me great pleasure to see the happiness on their faces when they look & feel amazing.

My CLIENTS HAVE THE SWEETEST THINGS TO SAY:

"Having Helena on my wedding day was the best decision I made. I can't say enough great things about my experience. From beginning to end she was extremely professional, friendly, and so talented at what she does!"

 
 
 
My Philosophy of beauty
 

Timeless and naturally radiant makeup looks that compliment your personality, make you look glamorous - but also feel like you.

My philosophy of beauty is quite simple: I strive to enhance your unique beauty by creating a look that embodies you from the inside out. My signature makeup style is elegant, modern and most importantly very flattering to each individual. Each person has a unique style therefore the looks that I create are never the same nor follow a routine. Guided by your needs and my expertise, I will help you create a makeup look that makes you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin by enhancing your most flattering natural features.

Every woman deserves to be styled to perfection on occasions that are special to them: be it a wedding, birthday, photoshoot, special event or awards ceremony. I do all of these and more!

My thorough knowledge of corrective makeup techniques, subtle or striking colours, sophisticated and incredibly flattering makeup looks ensure that each client looks polished, on-trend and worthy of hitting the red-carpet event of their life.
