I am Aurora Manica, a professional makeup artist specializing in luxury events and weddings. Born in Crotone, a small town in southern Italy, home to Pythagoras, Magna Graecia and chili peppers.

My career began in 2005, when I started to approach this world by opening my first beauty business. Professional makeup and fragrances have always been a part of my life, until in 2017 I decided to take the brushes into my own hands.

Accompanied by great masters such as Stefania D’Alessandro and Lina Pagliarella, today I find myself here, making up many brides from all over Italy and the world every year. With a particular focus on Luxury Makeup and Destination Weddings, I love elegance, sophistication and beautiful things.

I love sophisticated makeup, but never heavy.

I believe that makeup, true makeup, should enhance and never transform. The bride, on her beautiful day, must be the absolute protagonist. She must feel beautiful, she must be “Beautiful”.

This is my mission: to introduce a new idea of beauty, never taken for granted. To make you beautiful with a makeup specially designed for you, natural but sophisticated.

I have always been attracted to the latest makeup trends and techniques (airbrush, afro, Arabic, American, Asian) and I try to fuse them with my own style and world.

My curiosity always leads me to search for the most performing products on the market and on the latest catwalks, but always with respect for the skin, nature and animals.

They say that I am empathetic, sunny, dynamic and with a strong predisposition for precision and details.
