GERMANY ISSUE 242 Nov 2010

Ivanka Ana Radan was born in a small town in the hills of Sinj, Croatia. Her family moved to the USA in the 1970s and then to Germany in the 1980s. Ivanka has since travelled around the world and speaks English, German and Croatian, making her background just as international as the clients she works for.

Ivanka's talent as an artist, her friendly manner and reliability have made her a highly sought-after make-up artist and hairstylist. She learned her craft in Germany where she got her degree as a beautician, cosmetologist, make-up and S/F artist. Working on beaches from Miami to Menorca and in many studios around the world along the way, her extensive experience helps productions to run smoothly. Her work includes commercials, editorials, runway shows, TV and video.

Ivanka has worked with both national and international stars. "Talent and ability is one thing, but actresses and models need to look good on set all day long," she says. "The task of a good make-up artist is to make your subject both feel and look great."
