Hair & Makeup for Events and Occasions, London
Galas, dinners, celebrations and race days, in London and abroad.
Andrada Rusu is a celebrity hair and makeup artist in London, and people book her for their own occasions: a gala or a charity ball, a black-tie dinner, a birthday or a family celebration, a day at Royal Ascot or Wimbledon. She comes to you, at home, at your hotel or at the venue, anywhere in London.
The standard is the one she brings to the red carpet. The skin is finished to read true under a camera flash and to look natural at conversational distance, by candlelight, for the whole night.
What a Session Involves
From the first message to the last photograph
Send the date, the place and the occasion, and say whether you need hair, makeup or both. The timing and the quote are worked out from those details.
Planned around your features, your outfit and the way you like to look. Bring a reference if you have one; each choice is explained as the look is built, so you know why it suits you.
Prepared, blended and contoured before any colour goes on, then finished so it still looks like skin across a dinner table.
Hair and makeup are chosen to hold until you get home, and to look right at the table by candlelight as well as in photographs.
Occasions
Royal Ascot · Galas · Private occasions
Where she works
In London, Andrada comes to you, wherever you are in the city. Events outside London and abroad are booked by arrangement, with travel planned around the day. The work has taken her to the Vienna Opera Ball, to Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda in Sicily, and to the film festivals at Cannes and Venice.
Questions
Anything else, ask in your enquiry
Do you come to me?
Yes. Appointments are at your home, your hotel or the venue, anywhere in London. For an event outside London or abroad, travel is planned around the day and arranged as part of the booking.
Which areas of London do you cover?
All of London. For an event anywhere else, say where it is when you enquire.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the day: hair, makeup or both, how many people are getting ready, and where and when. It is quoted on enquiry, once the details are known.
How long does an appointment take?
That depends on the look and on whether you book hair, makeup or both. The timing is agreed in advance, and the start time works back from when you need to leave, with time to dress at the end.
Do you do hair as well as makeup?
Yes, both. One artist for hair and makeup means one look from start to finish and one schedule on the day.
How far ahead should I book?
As soon as the date is set. A late enquiry is still worth sending, because diaries change.
Will it last through the evening?
Yes. The skin is prepped before any colour goes on, and the finish is chosen to hold up close and in photographs until you get home.
