Ottawa Makeup Artist and Educator to MUAs

❣️The two most common concerns we hear from our brides all the time are: whether they would still feel like themselves and having too much or heavy makeup.⁉️ ✨So how do we ensure that we GET YOU and create a look that YOU will LOVE?✨ That’s exactly why our trials are not just a quick run-through of a look, but a thoughtful process that is not rushed. They’re a process. Thoughtful, not rushed. We get to know you before the trial through our thorough questionnaire. ❔What’s your wedding vibe? What’s your bridal style? What’s your comfort level with makeup? How much do you wear regularly? Do you have makeup look ideas? What are your concerns and fears? We can try a few different things during the trial. We talk. We test. We adjust. We check during the trial - how do you feel? With a full permission to BE PICKY 😉 This is not the time to be shy with feedback, but for a clear and honest communication. Sometimes what a bride thinks she wants isn’t actually what feels best once she sees it on herself… and sometimes it’s the opposite. We offer our guidance and expert opinion, but the goal isn’t for our team to decide the look, but for us (team+bride) to discover it together. 💫 It’s a collaborative process. After trial, our brides are encouraged to take lots of pictures in different lights and angles to see how makeup photographs. 📸 Another feedback opportunity - we follow up after the trial to see how the makeup lasted and if there is anything else you need to tweak By the time the wedding day comes, there’s no guessing… no hoping… no worrying. Bride starts the day knowing that she is going to LOVE it! 😍 ✨A little secret: Wedding day makeup and hair is always better because we already worked with you and we know how to tweak and refine it from what we did at the trial, so that the results on the wedding day are even more beautiful then bride is expecting. 💖 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ottawa, Ontario based (and destination!) bridal makeup and hair team specializing in elevated glowy natural and soft glam wedding makeup and timeless hairstyles.

Hey beauties, 😍 Thought I would give a quick intro to those who recently started to follow me and who are just checking me out. 😉 It’s all about energy, connections and how we relate to each other ✨- so I thought it’s good to get to know me & my vibes before you decide to trust me with your beautiful face or with your makeup education. Check out my “Get to know me” slides to dive into my world as a makeup artist. Sharing my makeup style & philosophy & a few things that are important to me.❤️ A few fun facts about me that didn’t make it on the slides: ✨I’m a makeup artist who barely wears makeup on a daily basis and wonders - would people trust me with their faces if I showed up to work without makeup? 🤣 ✨I love to travel, moved a lot (like 20 times at least) and managed to live in 7 different countries already! ✨My tea cabinet features a multitude of herbs and I love to create my own healing herbal tea blends all the time ✨Love adventures and still dreaming to try sky-diving and learn how to ride a motorcycle ✨Finished law school but never practiced law because then I moved to Canada from Russia, realized that I can do makeup and get paid for it (whaaaat?!) and never looked back since. 💖 2026 bridal bookings are underway, so don’t wait if you think I’m the artist you want for your big day! I will be starting makeup lessons for MUAs and everyday beauty lovers come October, so reach out now to book! See you around! 😘 xoxo Klava Z _________________ Ottawa, Ontario based (and destination!) bridal makeup artist & educator specializing in non-cakey natural and soft glam wedding makeup and 1:1 makeup lessons and artist education.

✨Bridesmaid beauty inspo✨ ❤️ this, save this, share this! What to ask for to get this effortless and polished makeup and hair look? MAKEUP: this is so perfect for those girls who don’t wear much makeup on a regular basis but want to step it up just a bit but still feel totally themselves. Ask for fresh natural look, with soft contour on the eyes and brown shadow liner, glowy bronzed skin, minimal foundation and lip colour to enhance your natural lip tone. HAIR: French chic meets modern effortless and chill vibes - almost looks and feels like you could have done it yourself. ALMOST 😉 Ask for half up French twist with the spiral wrap style waves.

She told me this was the best makeup she’s ever had done and I’m not gonna lie… I love hearing that 😍 But I think the reason it worked so well is because I didn’t just copy an inspo photo. I understood the vision and adapted it to her features, her face structure, her vibe - which made the look feel really flattering and effortless on her specifically. Nothing was heavy or overdone. The skin looked smooth and seamless, everything blended perfectly, and the glam still felt clean and elevated instead of heavy or cakey. Also, I’d like to think being fun to hang out with during glam helps a little too 🤭 Her final look: clean & modern elevated glam - bronzy skin, softly sculpted/snatched, foxy eyes with soft brown liner and wispy foxy lashes ✨ Photographs like a dream and looks stunning in real life. 💖 Beautiful Hair by @hair.by.raee 😍 ~~~~~~~~~~ Ottawa, Ontario based (and destination!) bridal makeup artist & educator specializing in non-cakey glowy natural and soft glam wedding makeup and 1:1 makeup lessons and artist education.

✨Important Wedding Skin Prep Tip ✨ Everyone will tell you to start retinol for better skin. Almost no one will tell you when to stop. 🛑 Retinol can be great—when you have time to let your skin adjust, recover, and stabilize. Sometimes even if the skin is used to it, there is still slight skin peeling that becomes obvious as soon as foundation is on. Your wedding is not the time for “in progress” skin. In the weeks leading up, your goal isn’t transformation. It’s consistency. ✨Because the most flawless bridal makeup? Happens on skin that’s calm, hydrated, and predictable.✨ If you’re not sure what to pause or keep in your routine before your big day—this is exactly what your trial is for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ottawa, Ontario based (and destination!) bridal makeup and hair team specializing in elevated glowy natural and soft glam wedding makeup and timeless hairstyles.

🌸 If you are a spring / June 2026 bride and haven’t booked your beauty team yet - this is for you. 🌸 The truth is, every season includes thoughtful, intentional women whose timelines came together later than expected. A shorter runway doesn’t mean a rushed morning. It doesn’t mean compromising on feeling and looking like the most elevated and polished version yourself. It simply means the right support matters even more. Our team is currently accepting a small number of May & June brides who are still finalizing their plans and want a calm, unrushed beauty experience on their wedding morning. Here is our spring bride from last year with her beautiful girly & romantic soft glam wedding makeup with rosy glow and feminine wedding hairstyle with soft curls cascading down the shoulders.

✨Bridal Lashes: Yes or No?✨ If the idea of wearing false lashes on your wedding day makes you nervous, you’re not alone. A lot of brides worry they’ll look too dramatic or feel unlike themselves. But the days of heavy, obvious lashes are long gone. There are so many soft, natural options now that can blend seamlessly with your own lashes. When chosen well, lashes don’t make your makeup look heavier. They actually allow us to keep the rest of the makeup lighter. They can subtly open the eyes, enhance an almond shape (as the case in this reel), and make your eyes pop beautifully in photos without piling on more makeup. 😍 The key is choosing the right style for your eyes and the look you want to achieve. And remember… though I always strongly recommend them😉, lashes are always optional, . The goal is that you still feel like yourself, just more polished for the camera ✨ ~~~~~~~~~ Ottawa, Ontario based (and destination!) bridal makeup and hair team specializing in elevated glowy natural and soft glam wedding makeup and timeless hairstyles.
