"Being multimedia artist really helps to polish my vision, taste and skills as I can clearly imagine how my client/model/bride will look on camera and can alway adjust the look accordingly. A deep understanding of light and color is also a basis and a key staple when working with any from of art, including hair and makeup.

Sofia never limits herself to a specific style, she is open to experiments and her most favorite thing about the industry is people! "I am absolutely in love with my clients, hours spent talking to you, sharing memorable and also quiet moments when you need calming presence so much. Hearing your life stories and supporting you on special days is a true reason I love my job. If I didn't become a HMUA I would be a psychotherapist, writer or designer".
