Oksana

Oksana has been working in the beauty industry since 2013. Trained in Saint Petersburg, she has worked, and continues to work, on weddings, photoshoots, and fashion shows.

As a professional makeup artist and hairstylist, she has completed numerous trainings with well-known makeup artists and hairstylists, including @tonyastylist, @georgikot, @mariyakalashnikova, @grishina.viktoria, @nadigerber, and many other industry experts. Always staying on top of trends, she regularly participates in masterclasses to refine her techniques and explore new, modern approaches.

Now based in Montreal, I primarily work with brides and on photoshoots, and I’ve also had the opportunity to prepare Canadian actress Lily Thibeault.

My approach is based on one fundamental principle: never to transform someone, but rather to highlight their natural beauty with a fully personalized service, tailored to their style, features, and the occasion.

I offer both makeup and hairstyling services.

Recent work

What is your favorite product and brand?
I mainly use professional long-lasting products, perfectly suited for weddings, long days, and photoshoots. My favorite brands are MAC, Estée Lauder, Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, and Make Up For Ever. I always choose products based on the client’s skin type, the desired style, and each client’s needs, ensuring a natural, radiant, and long-lasting result.

What step do you enjoy most during a bridal hairstyle/makeup?
I especially love the final step, when the look is complete and the client—especially the bride—sees herself in the mirror. It’s always a very emotional and special moment.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
I love seeing the transformation, confidence, and joy of my clients after makeup and hair. For me, it’s not just a beauty service, but an emotional experience, especially on a wedding day.

What is your favorite hairstyle/makeup style to create on a client?
My favorite style is natural, radiant makeup (soft glam), and elegant, romantic hairstyles: loose chignons, waves, Hollywood waves, and modern bridal hairstyles.
