Hello, I'm Ornella
I have been doing makeup for brides for more than twenty years, nearly all of it in Puglia, in old whitewashed houses with tall windows and not much room. I like a quiet morning, a good chair by the light and nobody rushing.
My work is soft and luminous: skin that looks like skin, a natural rose on the lip, a face the bride knows when she looks in the mirror. We talk first, then I begin.
the studio letter
A letter now and then
A short letter each season with new looks, a few notes from the chair and the dates I have open.
“The one email I open the day it lands.”
