​“I pledge to enhance your existing beauty and make you feel and look your best, with a little glitz and glam along the way. Trust in me, and I promise that you won’t leave looking anything but fabulous! ”
–Talin Altounian Makarade

     Talin | ta-lean | has always been captivated by the artistry of beauty and makeup. What started as a way to enhance the features of friends, family, and herself quickly became her true calling. More than just a creative outlet, makeup became her way of connecting with others and expressing her passion for life. For Talin, it’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about helping people look and feel their best. Whether for a special occasion or simply the love of the craft, she approaches each look with warmth, intention, and heart, believing everyone deserves to feel confident, radiant, and celebrated.
​     Encouraged by the admiration and support of those around her, Talin made the decision to turn her passion into a profession. Fourteen years ago, she began her journey as a self-taught makeup artist, building a loyal clientele from the ground up. Through consistent practice and dedication, she honed her skills with hands-on experience and a commitment to excellence. Determined to elevate her artistry, Talin sought formal training at Lilit’s Makeup Studio, where she studied under the esteemed Lilit Caradanian and earned her Master of Makeup Artistry certification. Her drive to grow didn’t stop there—she later completed one-on-one training with renowned artist Rob Sargsyan (FacesByRob), earning a second certification in professional makeup artistry.
     Throughout her career, Talin’s mission has grown beyond creating beautiful transformations—she’s equally passionate about empowering others through education. Her love for teaching has led her to work as a beauty educator, helping women gain confidence in their own skills through personalized lessons and group seminars. She finds immense fulfillment in guiding others to embrace their natural beauty and discover the artistry within themselves.
     With expert training, years of experience, and an unwavering passion for her craft, Talin is committed to delivering an exceptional beauty experience for every client. Through her artistry, she fosters genuine connections—building trust, celebrating individuality, and leaving a lasting impression that goes far beyond the makeup chair.
