About Me

Thanks for visiting my website,​ ​I​’m​ ​Matea,​ ​a​ ​freelance​ ​makeup​ ​artist​ ​living​ ​in​ ​Zagreb,​ ​Croatia.​

Even​ ​though​ ​I graduated as an​ ​engineer,​ ​makeup​ ​has​ ​always​ ​been​ ​my​ ​passion.​ ​I​ ​start​ed ​in​ ​the​ ​beauty world​ ​when​ ​I​ ​was​ ​a​ ​student,​ ​working​ ​as​ ​a​ ​promoter​ ​for​ ​several​ ​makeup​ ​brands.​ ​

Even​ ​though​ ​I started​ ​as​ ​self​ ​taught,​ ​I​ ​got​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​do​ ​makeup​ ​for​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​celebrities,​ ​music videos,​ ​fashion​ ​shows​ ​and​ ​a lot ​of​ ​brides.​ ​​ ​As​ ​I​ ​got​ ​more​ ​and​ ​more​ ​inquiries​ ​I​ ​decided​ ​to take​ ​it​ ​to​ ​a​ ​professional​ ​level​ ​and​ ​enrolled​ ​in​to JL Style Academy. The owner, ​Lucija​ ​Juroš,​ gave me a great insight​ in to ​the​ ​makeup​ ​industry​ ​and​ demonstrated the ​latest​ ​techniques,​ ​which​ ​I​ ​implement​ ​in​ ​my​ ​work​ ​today. I've since graduated from JL Style Academy, obtaining Pro II certification, with a specialisation in Multimedia, Film & TV. I'm also registered as a company in Croatia.

It​ ​has​ ​been​ ​4​ ​years​ ​since​ ​I​ ​started​ ​working​ ​as​ ​a​ ​makeup​ ​artist​ ​and​ ​will​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​grow professionally​ ​through​ ​advanced​ ​makeup​ ​artist​ ​certification​ ​workshops.​ ​I​ ​believe​ ​that​ ​you​ ​can never​ ​be​ ​over​ ​qualified​ ​and​ ​that​ ​is​ ​crucial​ ​when​ ​growing​ ​your​ ​craft.

As​ ​an​ ​artist,​ ​I​ ​love​ ​making​ ​women​ ​feel​ ​beautiful.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​inspired​ ​by​ ​every​ ​person,​ ​every​ ​face​ ​I​ ​see and​ ​that​ ​is​ ​how​ ​I​ ​love​ ​to​ ​do​ ​makeup.​ ​I​ ​approach​ ​each​ ​client​ ​individually,​ ​because​ ​my​ ​client’s vision,​ ​personality,​ ​comfort​ ​and​ ​needs​ ​are​ ​priority.

I only use professional high end products such as MAC, Ben Nye, Kryolan, Makeup Designory, Makeup Forever, Inglot, Temptu, Bobbi Brown, RCMA, Estee Lauder, Embryolisse etc.

To​ ​me,​ ​makeup​ ​is​ ​a​ ​great​ ​tool​ ​for​ ​empowering​ ​women,​ ​making​ ​them​ ​feel​ ​more​ ​confident​ ​about themselves.​ ​Trends​ ​and​ ​clients’​ ​needs​ ​change​ ​over​ ​time,​ ​that’s​ ​why​ ​I​ ​don't​ ​limit​ ​myself​ ​to​ ​certain styles.​ ​My​ ​aesthetic​ ​style​ ​as​ ​an​ ​artist​ ​is​ ​soft,​ ​fresh,​ ​timeless​ ​and​ ​elegant.​ ​I​ ​really​ ​love​ ​to​ ​enhance my​ ​client’s​ ​natural​ ​beauty,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​like​ ​for​ ​my​ ​clients​ ​to​ ​look​ ​and​ ​feel​ ​like​ ​the​ ​best​ ​version​ ​of themselves.

There​ ​is​ ​nothing​ ​more​ ​fulfilling​ ​than​ ​seeing​ ​a​ ​smile​ ​on​ ​my​ ​client’s​ ​face.

If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​a​ ​reliable,​ ​friendly​ ​and​ ​professional​ ​makeup​ ​artist,​ ​don’t​ ​hesitate​ ​to​ ​contact me​ ​to​ ​discuss​ ​your​ ​needs.

I​ ​look​ ​forward​ ​to​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​work​ ​with​ ​you!

Kind regards,
