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.

A professional makeup artist and hairstylist, she has completed numerous trainings with renowned artists and hairstylists, including @tonyastylist, @georgikot, @mariyakalashnikova, @grishina.viktoria, @nadigerber, among several other industry experts. Always passionate about staying current, she regularly attends masterclasses to refine her techniques and explore modern, innovative approaches.

Now based in Montreal, she primarily works with brides and on photoshoots, and has also had the opportunity to prepare Canadian actress Lily Thibeault.

Her approach is based on a fundamental principle: never transform a person, but rather enhance their natural beauty through a fully personalized service adapted to their style, features, and the event.

She offers both makeup and hairstyling services.

Some of my work

What is your favorite product and brand?
I mainly use long-wear professional 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 select products based on skin type, desired style, and each client’s needs to ensure a natural, luminous, and long-lasting result.

What is your favorite step during a bridal hairstyling/makeup?
I especially love the final step, when the look is complete and the client—especially the bride—sees herself in the mirror. It is always a very emotional and special moment.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I love seeing the transformation, confidence, and joy on my clients’ faces after makeup and hairstyling. For me, it is 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, luminous makeup (soft glam), along with elegant and romantic hairstyles: soft buns, waves, Hollywood waves, and modern bridal looks.
