Makeup by Irina Buzdugan

Everything started about 20 years ago...yap...long time back, when I realized that I have a talent...drawing portraits in pencil coal and painting with vivid crisp colors. I remember I was getting really impatient while working because the satisfaction I was getting seeing the end result was unbelievable! Later on, drawing and painting got a different perspective once I have discovered my mom s full on makeup drawers and then my sisters, my girlfriends, aunties became overnight models. Sometimes I was getting it right, other times not as much...but I couldn't stop:)
In 2004 I left Romania going to The United Arab Emirates(Dubai) and that was the beginning of a new era for me. A new life, new challenges, new people, new jobs, new mentalities and ultimately A NEW ME! I had the chance to work in most beauty counters in Dubai like Debenhams, Harvey Nichols, Areej, Paris Gallery, Sephora, Faces and so I got to know the good, the bad and the ugly of most makeup brands out there.But I had another target, I wanted to be a freelance makeup artist and nothing could stop me. I worked with every skin types and colors, face shapes, eye shapes, eye color that I could or could not imagine. I will tell you:) If you cannot go around the world, the world goes around Dubai. I have applied makeup for hundreds of people of all nationalities, from Russians, British, French, Spanish, Romanians to Chinese, Thai, Iranians, Egyptions, Lebanese, Brazilians, South Africans and of course Emarati. This variety could only strengthen my skills and increase my creativity.It was extremely special to me as I had to combine the traditions, face features and personality of the person in front of me in order to create a look in perfect match with my clients needs. These moments were self fulfilling so I kept on going and kept on making people smile!:)
In 2015 I was blessed with two little adorable angels, Hashem and Layan. Motherhood took a lot of me and my time and so my husband and I decided to take a long and well deserved break and move back to Romania for a while. So here I am today, after one year and a half ready to continue my journey doing what I love the most and what I am most passionate about except being a mom), more excited then ever to meet new people, this time in Cluj:)
...and because the story goes on from 2018 we moved to Muscat, Oman...where i m currently following my path:) another exciting experience..
