Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Iryna Khomyakova, I am an international makeup artist with over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry. I would like to share with you my professional and life journey, as I believe it will give you a better understanding of my skills and experience. 

Since 2015 I established my own signature school for professional makeup artists and formed the influential #ikms beauty team. As the team curator and a leading makeup artist, I collaborated regularly with Ukrainian Fashion Week (UFW) and the Miss Ukraine pageant. My role involved creating makeup designs aligned with the designer's vision, ensuring top-notch quality, and achieving the desired final visual results.

Simultaneously, as a makeup artist, I contributed to numerous photoshoots for magazines, providing makeup for models and celebrities, including assignments in France and England.

In my professional career, I've had a substantial collaboration with the global cosmetic brand INGLOT. I consistently carried out visual campaigns for the international department, serving in dual roles as a makeup artist and producer. 
My visual layouts are effectively incorporated into the interiors of INGLOT stores. Additionally, campaigns featuring my work were displayed on advertising billboards in Times Square, New York, at the international COSMOPROF ITALY exhibition, IMATS London, and LA. 

From 2015 to 2019, I held the position of the official makeup artist for INGLOT Georgia, conducting numerous workshops for clients and company staff. I curated four seasons of Tbilisi Fashion Week (TBF) under the INGLOT logo, with my exclusive makeup artist team. During this period, my articles were published in various magazines in Georgia.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, when our movements were restricted, and normal work was challenging, I developed an online makeup course program. Using my makeup school studio as a base, I successfully worked with clients online and created a comprehensive online course on bridal makeup, sharing the secrets of creating flawless celebrity wedding looks.

In May 2022 I was forced to relocate from Ukraine to the United Kingdom, escaping the war. As a mother of two beautiful children, their safety is always my top priority. I am immensely grateful to the people who saved my family, allowing us to continue living fully in this peaceful country. And hope to successfully carry on my professional development in the UK and globally.
