SIRA ARTISTRY
MEET ANHELINA
EASTERN EUROPEAN MAKEUP ARTIST BASED IN EMERALD COAST
"NO MORE COPY&PASTE LOOKS. I DO MAKEUP THAT SUITS YOUR ANATOMY."
My name is Anhelina Sira and I am a professional makeup artist located in Pensacola, FL.
I moved from Ukraine 2 years ago to the mesmerizing area of Emerald Coast and have had the most amazing experience ever since.
Having been educated at Eastern European school of makeup, my artistry implies creation of meticulously tailored looks to complement individual facial features.
Switching countries has pushed me to deepen my knowledge of color theory and I can proudly say that I am an ethnically inclusive makeup artist.
Whether it is a wedding, special occasion or editorial photoshoot - I am diverse within my art and ready to help!
I remember my first trip to United States. I was 15 at the time and was already skipping homework to do my makeup. Me and my mom landed in Chicago and a family friend took us to Sephora.
" I don't remember the last time I got you a gift for your birthday," he said, "I am buying you everything."
That day I got myself the iconic Anastasia Beverly Hills Renaissance palette and Too Faced Born This Way Foundation ( yes, only 2 items - I was a polite kid). Mind you, this kind of makeup could only be talked about in Ukraine. I felt like I saw a celebrity in real life.
After having a lot of fun with makeup and glamming all the faces in high school, I realized that my passion for beauty has to be brought further.
That way, in 2019 I became a certified makeup artist. Starting out as a newbie MUA during the pandemic was not easy. But looking back now, I am so glad I did it!
My journey in USA has been treating me like a queen - I love the fact that I bring a touch of European artistry to the local community.
