What you get
Tailored to You
Forget one-size-fits-all solutions — I create a look that reflects your style, your features and your mood for the day.
Camera-Ready Finish
You look equally beautiful in person and in photographs — no flashback, a flawless complexion and your own beauty brought forward.
On-Location Makeup Artist
I come to you anywhere in Sofia and across Bulgaria — you save time and nerves on the wedding day itself.
Complimentary Touch Up Kit
You receive a maintenance kit — lipstick, powder and blotting sheets — so you can refresh your look at any moment.
16+ Hours of Lasting Wear
From the first look to the last dance — no constant corrections, no feeling of a mask.
English-Speaking Artist
Perfect for expats, destination weddings and international couples — clear communication in English through the consultation, the trial and the wedding day.
Fixed Price, No Negotiation
Three packages with clear prices right here on the site — the same for every bride, no discounts, no surprises on the day.
Premium Products Only
I work with Dior, Natasha Denona, Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel, Gucci, Shiseido, Hourglass and more — formulas built for longevity and camera work.
On her wedding day every bride wants to feel irresistible. As a bridal makeup artist in Sofia with over 17 years of experience in wedding makeup, my approach is to capture what makes you you and bring it forward in a refined, long-wearing and photogenic way. With attention to every detail, I create a look that survives emotion, kisses, hugs and long dancing — without compromising your comfort or your style.

Wedding packages — fixed price, no surprises
I work with three packages — three different depths of care. The prices are fixed and the same for every bride: no discounts, no negotiation, no surprises. That is part of my respect for all of you — no bride pays more because she did not ask for a discount.
- PREMIUM — the full experience, from the trial makeup to the care after the wedding · €790
- DELUXE — the most chosen: a calm wedding day with the trial makeup included · €350
- ESSENTIAL — makeup on the day only, without the experience around it · €175
- ELITE — a boutique experience from end to end, on request
DELUXE
A calm wedding day: professional makeup with personal touches and support on the spot.
€350
- Trial makeup at the salon — included
- 1 makeup for the entourage · up to 1 hour with you
- Body glow + highlight, extended Bridal Guide

ESSENTIAL
Makeup on the day only — for the bride who wants a professional result without the experience around it.
€175
- Wedding makeup for the bride
- 1 makeup for the entourage
- Basic skin preparation · short phone consultation
- Touch-up Kit for everyone made up
Each package is one whole experience, not a list of services. If you choose not to use part of what is included, the price does not change — a concert ticket does not get cheaper if you skip the encore.
PREMIUM — the full experience
For the bride who wants everything prepared in advance and professionally coordinated: trial makeup, a personal plan, consultations with specialists, small luxuries on the day, gifts and care even after the wedding.
Before the wedding
- In-person consultation — we meet and talk through the look
- Trial makeup at the studio — the trial makeup is included in the price
- Personalised Bridal Guide (PDF) — with an individual Beauty Timeline: your specific dates and treatments

One price. Everything inside. Nothing to pay extra for, nothing to negotiate.
DELUXE — the most chosen package
For the bride who wants more than makeup alone: skin preparation, body glow, a guide, gifts and personal support in the morning, without the full scope of PREMIUM.
Before the wedding

The gifts

The trial makeup is included — almost every bride books one anyway. That is why DELUXE is the choice that pays for itself.
ESSENTIAL — makeup on the day only
For the bride who wants a professional result without the experience around it.
- Wedding makeup for the bride
- False lashes — included in the package
- 1 makeup for the entourage
- A short phone consultation
- A Touch Up Kit for every lady made up
- Basic skin preparation
Deliberately plain — you have picked the essential. The trial makeup, the guide, my staying with you and the gifts live in DELUXE.
ELITE — on request
A boutique experience from end to end. I take up to 12 ELITE brides a year — only one per week. Everything from PREMIUM, plus:
- A second look for the evening
- 3 additional makeups
- A printed personalised Bridal Guide
- Super-luxury skin preparation — and a luxury body glow
- A satin robe with your initials
- With you through the whole day — with full coordination of every vendor

- Bespoke experiences — a wedding-day rehearsal, extra meetings, whatever the day asks for
Price on request only, with an individual quote. Write to me and I will build it for your date.
Wedding hair and makeup — one calm plan
One conversation, one plan, two specialists — and one dilemma fewer for you. See also the combined hair and makeup package — suitable for the maid of honour, the bridesmaids and the mothers of the couple too.
How I work — the terms that do not change
- Fixed prices — the same for every bride, no discounts and no negotiation. The price lives on the site; the quote only confirms it and never arrives with a new, higher number.
- The package is one whole — an unused extra does not lower the price. If you want a smaller scope, the more accurate choice is the smaller package.
- On-location studio — wherever you greet your day, my whole studio comes to you: the case, the brushes, the light and the calm of the salon. For the neighbourhoods around my studio in Manastirski Livadi, coming to you is included in the package price. If your wedding is further away, tell me the location — I give you a single fixed sum before you book. One number that covers the journey, the time and all the equipment.
- Additional guest — always at a fixed €65, with false lashes included.
- Touch-ups during the event — on request I stay for corrections at €60 per hour.
- Booking — with a booking deposit, paid by bank transfer after the quote is issued. The date is held only against it.
Minimum commitment outside Sofia — I take only one wedding per day:
- Journey up to 1 hour — the bride and 3 makeups for the entourage
- Journey up to 2 hours — the bride and 4 makeups
- Journey over 2.5 hours — an individual quote with an overnight stay
Anything non-standard — destination weddings, a large entourage, holiday dates — is handled with an individual quote. Write to me with your date and location.
What wedding makeup includes
- Preliminary consultation — we discuss the style you want, the look of the dress, the jewellery and the accessories, your hair and skin colour, your skincare and the theme of the wedding
- A complete finished look — built around your individuality
- Professional long-wearing makeup — with top-tier products
- Your natural beauty brought forward — the accent goes on what makes you unique
- Professional skin preparation — before the makeup
- Setting for staying power — through dancing, humidity, tears and photographs
- A photogenic finish — no flashback, no unwanted surprises
- Extra accents — lashes, sparkle, a pinch of artistry or something bold and different
- False lashes — included in every wedding package
- Gifts — a kit for maintaining your makeup
Bridesmaids, maid of honour and mothers
Every package includes makeup for the entourage — one in ESSENTIAL and DELUXE, two in PREMIUM. Each additional lady is a fixed €65, with false lashes included, and receives individual attention and a look coordinated with her dress, her hair colour and the overall wedding palette. I build a detailed schedule for the day, so every lady is ready on time without pressure.
Wedding trial makeup
The trial is an extremely important part of preparing for the wedding day and is included in the price of DELUXE and PREMIUM. It is the moment when we discover together the look that suits you best — elegant, long-wearing and entirely in your spirit. During the trial:
- Different variants — we try the look you have chosen, to see in detail what suits you and how
- Durability check — you test the makeup in person and on camera
- Comfort — you have time to get used to the feeling of makeup (especially important if you rarely wear it, or wear something very light)
- Feedback — you can gather opinions from family and friends
If you have chosen ESSENTIAL, the trial can be added as a separate service for €70 — a standalone booking, because DELUXE and PREMIUM already include it. You can also combine it with another important occasion — a photo shoot, a hen party or a formal dinner. Read more about why a wedding trial matters and what to expect.
Bridal makeup — soft, long-wearing, photogenic
Every wedding is unique and deserves a look created specifically for the bride — not a Pinterest template, but soft, light, long-wearing makeup that highlights your features, complements the wedding dress and your style, and looks flawless both in person and on camera.
Makeup and wedding dress — coordinated style and tone
Your makeup should be an extension of the wedding dress, not its competitor. The colour and style of the dress — snow white, soft ivory, champagne, blush — dictate the palette of the eyeshadow, the blush and the lips. The dress’s details (lace, pearls, crystals, embroidery) suggest whether the look can carry more sparkle or should stay discreet. At the trial we look at a photo of the wedding dress and consider every detail — neckline, sleeves, fabric, accessories — so the result is a finished, cohesive whole.
I work with professional products from Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass, Natasha Denona and more, chosen for their longevity and camera performance. Every look is designed to hold 16+ hours — from the morning preparations to the last dance.
Bridal makeup trends for 2026 include skinimalism — natural skin with a light base and strategic highlighter, a diffused smoky eye with soft contours for a romantic look, and saturated lips in oxblood and berry tones with a velvet texture. Any of these can be woven into your wedding look if you wish — or we can create something entirely your own.
Wedding makeup in Sofia and across Bulgaria
I am based in Sofia, in the Manastirski Livadi neighbourhood, where my studio is. Trial makeups take place there, at the studio. On the wedding day I come to you — whether that is a hotel, a restaurant or a private estate. I travel within Sofia and across the whole country for wedding and bridal makeup, and for international destinations we discuss the details personally.
The wedding packages cover the whole day — from the trial makeup to the final touches before the ceremony, for the bride and for the ladies around her. One complete solution, without last-minute logistics.
On-location wedding makeup — at home, at the hotel or at the venue
Wedding makeup works best where you are — in the calm of home, in the hotel room before the ceremony, at the restaurant or directly at the venue. I arrive with full professional equipment and every product needed, so you get soft, long-wearing makeup without last-minute logistics. At-home and on-location makeup is my standard for every bride in Sofia and across the country.
What the wedding makeup price includes
Wedding makeup comes in three fixed-price packages: ESSENTIAL €175 — makeup on the day only; DELUXE €350 — with the trial makeup, skin preparation, body glow and gifts included; PREMIUM €790 — the full experience before, during and after the wedding. ELITE is on request.
You see the price here, before you write to me — the quote only confirms it. The only additions are makeup for an additional guest (€65, lashes included) and, for a more distant location, the fixed sum for the on-location studio. If you only need a trial, see the trial makeup page; for a gift — the gift cards.
The price table also lists the studio services: wedding makeup at the studio — €85, and trial makeup at the studio — €70. These are the base services: the makeup only, with me at the studio, for a bride who is not booking a wedding-day package. False lashes are charged separately only for the studio services — in the packages they are included. The packages are the experience around the day and their prices stay fixed.
