Make-up Artist Aleksandra Naczynska.

I have always had a passion for the art of beauty industry. My journey began as a teenager and lead me to finish a cosmetology school with a colour cosmetics as specialization where I have gained NVQ3 level certification. After working internationally for nearly 10 years in a beauty sector I have decided to become a freelancer. I have learned the inside of the job by being trained and by working alongside industry leading professionals.The qualifications backed with a solid experienced and never ending passion helped me to turn my dreams into reality. Make up artist job is demanding but never boring, What excites me the most is that every client or project is different, therefore requires different approach. I treat every client as individual by customizing the make-up to not only be fashionable and suitable for particular project, but tailored for the clients to expose the natural beauty that was kept within.

Besides working in fashion, commercial, in TV and with celebrities I also work with a private clientele as this is where my journey began.

For this shoot I have been inspired by the colourful world of tropics.

I created KoKo Beauty after years of interest in hair and make up and being able to gain a BABTAC qualification to cover both fields. I believe each and every client should be treated as an individual, and that anybody can look and feel like royalty for a special occasion. I believe in working with the real woman and not only models, which can be seen throughout my work.

Although my kit contains well known brands such as Mac, Bobbi Brown, Urban Decay and Smash Box I have spent a lot of time blogging and researching a range of other products, and my collection has no limit. I do not necessarily believe that high level brands are always the best and I will use what is best for each individuals needs and requests. Most importantly I will never use a product on a client which I have not tried before myself, this can be seen through my passion of beauty blogging. I feel its important for others to really know about the products they are using, or interested in trying.
