Stephanie, the artist behind Ella Beauty
"I like to do things properly: learn from the best, then train every single day to get better."
Beauty has been part of my story since I was five years old, when I started modelling. At eighteen, I was working as a professional makeup artist for L'Oréal. Beauty ran alongside another path too, as I went on to study dentistry, until the pandemic brought me to Australia instead.
I've called Australia home for five years now, living here with my husband and my cat. I spent some time working in dental clinics, but it didn't take long to realise that world wasn't for me. Slowly, I found my way back to fashion and beauty: modelling again, doing makeup, and building a nail business around long-lasting, natural results (you can find that work at @steph.nailartist). Somewhere in there, I discovered a real passion for naturalness, and for needles.
Cosmetic tattoo became my next obsession. I trained with Elle & Andrea from Arch Affinity, widely considered the best in Melbourne, and probably Australia. That's simply how I like to do things: learn from the best there is. Since then, I train every day, always looking for the next course to sharpen my technique.
If you have any questions at all, I'm always happy to jump on a video call.
