My story does not begin like many others.

I wasn’t always into makeup, on the contrary. I was a plain girl, I didn ‘t wear makeup and I didn’t know how to enhance myself.

It all started in an unexpected way. One day, while attending a dance class, a friend of mine asked if she could take pictures of me. I was surprised by her request; I didn’t feel beautiful enough for a photo shoot, but I trusted her, so I agreed.

I went to his house and totally entrusted myself, he transformed me from head to toe: he did makeup and hair , made me wear a dress and set me up in front of a set. When he showed me the pictures, I was speechless. I couldn’t believe it was me. For the first time I saw myself in a completely new light, and I felt incredible emotions.

That moment made me take a strong awareness, and I thought,“I want to make all those women who like me until now have never felt valued feel these same emotions, I want them to feel as beautiful and confident as I am feeling right now.”

Since then, I have made this passion my life mission. I left my job, which did not satisfy me, and enrolled in a makeup academy in Milan. I graduated with honors and, from there, I focused on creating my signature as a MakeupArtist: the“Healthy Glowy Skin” = perfect, radiant, naturally glowing skin.

Elena Gentile - Story

Then, one night, a phone call changed my career.

I was called to do makeup at the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show as part of the team of Pat McGrath, the world's greatest makeup artist.

I began to participate in fashion shows as part of his Italian team.

From there I started working with big brands such as: Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Prada, Versace, Armani, Louis Vuitton, YSL, Bulgari and many others.

After years of commitment and pure passion I was nominated by Vogue Italia as one of the best Italian MakeupArtists, I felt a whirlwind of indescribable emotions and felt truly honored.

But it was an editorial dedicated to brides that made me fall in love with the wedding world. That experience moved me deeply, and I knew I had to know more.

After that publication, the first brides who sought a more modern style and approach to the classic beauty bride began to contact me.

In fact, my style combines the elegance and sophistication of fashion with the sophistication of wedding. In 2022 I won the Ziwa Awards in the Wedding industry for the best professional in the Bridal beauty industry for the quality and dedication I put into every look I create.
My work is for those who want a fresh, contemporary style that is sophisticated and in harmony with their essence.
