"I’m Andreea Natalia Bucur and I am a fashion make-up artist in Italy. Make-up isn’t just my job but also my passion.

I have collaborated with publications such as Vogue Italia, L'Officiel Baltics, L'Officiel Italia, Robb Report Russia, Desnudo Italia, Flanelle Magazine, 7Hues Magazine, Elegant Magazine and Mob Journal and I work for brands such Stefanel, Hydrogen, Ed Parrish, Zanetti moda and Christian Dior Make-Up.

Quality make-up is much more than a way to improve the aesthetics of a face: is a true form of art, the union of creativity, preparation and use of quality materials. In feminine beautification make-up it is essential to build the make-up on the anatomy and morphology of a face.

Make-up is far more personal than a dress, as everyone has their own facial characteristics, and therefore their own style. It is important that everyone’s individual features are appreciated and suitable for the occasion.

I love this artistic imprint: it is welcome when it can be expressed, but I also respect the rules of this artistry. That’s why I make a difference in the world of make-up artists."
