ANNA NOVIKOVA

Anna Novikova — makeup artist with 12 years of experience, IABA member

Hi, I’m Anna Novikova — a professional makeup artist with over 12 years of experience in beauty, fashion, editorial, and creative makeup.
I’m a certified LVMH artist and a proud member of the International Association of Beauty Artists (IABA).

Throughout my career, I’ve had the chance to work with incredible brands, win multiple international awards, judge beauty championships, and lead masterclasses in Europe and the United States. My work has appeared in GQ, L’Officiel, Marie Claire, and even lit up Times Square in New York.

I’m deeply passionate about telling stories through makeup — whether it’s a bridal look, an avant-garde editorial shoot, or a high-fashion runway.
