Ksenia

Quick Facts: I’m originally from Ukraine and currently living in the U.S. In my free time, I love exploring new beauty trends, testing out different makeup techniques, and connecting with others who share my passion for beauty. I also enjoy staying active and keeping a healthy lifestyle. I have a family that I love spending time with, especially outdoors, engaging in active pastimes.

Beauty Background: My love for the beauty industry started with a passion for makeup and transforming looks. I have completed professional training and continuously refine my skills by learning new techniques and trends. What I enjoy most about this industry is the ability to highlight each client’s individuality and enhance their natural beauty.

Fav Makeup Product: The Tarte Shape Tape Concealer—it provides excellent coverage, brightens the face, and lasts all day without feeling dry.

Fav Hair Product: The OUAI Matte Pomade—a great hair wax that adds texture, controls frizz, and keeps styles in place without feeling greasy.

Favorite Beauty Hack:Using a nude eyeliner on the waterline instantly brightens the eyes and makes them look more awake. Another tip is using cosmetic tape or adhesive strips to create a flawless eye makeup look. It helps achieve symmetrical eyeliner or a sharp shadow angle, making it perfect for a quick and neat makeup application.

From the Artist: Being a beauty artist is more than just applying makeup—it’s about boosting confidence, expressing creativity, and making people feel beautiful inside and out. One of my favorite beauty quotes is, “Makeup is art, beauty is spirit.”

  • "Makeup by Ana B saved my elopement! I had originally booked with a different studio that canceled on me 9 PM the night before with nothing but a “sorry here’s your refund.” I was frantic, and found the “last minute” number to contact for Ana B. Miraculously, someone responded and had me booked within 30 minutes. I don’t know of any other company that will respond to you at 10 pm for a last minute appointment the following morning. 10/10! They did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup. I’ll be returning to this studio for all my future hair and makeup needs."

  • "They tackled a wide range of hair types (from short to long, super straight to curly) and age ranges from 20 to 61 in about 5 hours. No one had had a trial, and yet everyone was thrilled with the outcome. We loved the results and every minute of the process. Thank you for making us look terrific!"

  • "We got married in May 2023 and I would high recommend Makeup by Ana B. I found them in summer of 2022 and they were available for my date needed. It was difficult looking for other hair/makeup vendors and trying to piece together the cost and if they were available, that is why I recommend makeup by Ana B! It is one stop shop for all of your hair and makeup needs. They will provide you with the best hair and makeup artists and it was a great experience start to finish!"
