About Me
Hello and welcome to my portfolio website, you look beautiful today!
My name is Petra and I'm 29, living in New York City. For the past 8 years, I've been blessed to have a job of my dreams. I became a make-up artist and a hairstylist and I've been making my clients even more beautiful on a daily basis by doing their full glam for various occasions.
Originally I'm from Slovakia but I always wanted to explore what's beyond and be successful in life. I was always in awe of makeup and fashion from an early age so I started doing makeup for my friends and family members. When I was in college, I signed up for an intense 5-week makeup training in Prague. Finished with a certificate and moved to the city after a month of completion of the makeup school. I got my freelance business license for makeup and applied for a part-time job at MAC Cosmetics. While working a few hours a week at the store I was able to begin creating my portfolio and pitching to photographers, photo studios and producing companies for makeup jobs. Overtime I built a big diverse portfolio including many collaborations with various great brands, commercials, music videos, celebrities, magazines, family and pregnancy photography. Also started to build my bridal portfolio and few years later prepared around 100 brides for their big day.
​
I'm always educating myself on the latest trends in makeup, hair and fashion. I'm on top of Instagram and TikTok and always know what's popular and viral among my clients. I'm self-taught in hairstyling, always trying to get better and better in makeup and hair by attending makeup classes of other professional makeup artists and hairstylists from all over the world. My most favorite makeup artists come from the U.S. and Russia and that's how I found my own unique style of makeup. I love cat and foxy eye makeup trends, brushed thicker eyebrows and dewy glowy skin. However, I always try to meet the needs of my clients by asking a lot of questions first to make it the nicest and most pleasurable experience by getting their makeup and hair done by me.

I will be more than honored to do your glam for any occasion or event. DM me on my Instagram @petradmakeup or email me at pedianova@gmail.com to find out my availability.

Looking forward to meeting you!
