ABOUT ME
NATALIJA LEPINA
MAKE-UP ARTIST, PHOTOGRAPHER
With Latvian roots and now calling San Diego, California home, I bring a mix of European charm and a laid-back West Coast vibe to everything I do. I’m spontaneous, open-minded, and find my freedom in travel, hiking, and
exploring new places.
​
I have a true passion for making people feel beautiful through makeup, whether it’s for a wedding day or an editorial shoot. The process of transforming someone is something I absolutely love.
​
For me, the magic happens when makeup and photography come together — it opens up endless possibilities. While I specialize in beauty and editorial photography, I also have experience with maternity and small event shoots.
As a one-man show, I offer a personal touch on every project, but for larger ventures, I work with a team of skilled professionals to ensure the best results. Feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas — I’d love to connect!

Models looking to grow a strong portfolio i would not recommened anyone else but Natalia! Very professional, accurate to inspiration pictures, and will always go to her for makeup in san diego! Highly recommend for models out there in san diego, or even bridal as well!
Professional, friendly, and talented makeup artist. I am in awe of the artwork she creates. She understands my face and brings out the vision that I want! Everytime I got to get hair and makeup services from her I am pleased with the results!
I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredibly talented makeup artist and photographer Natalia for a special event, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!
She truly understood my vision and brought it to life flawlessly. From the moment we started, it was clear that she was highly skilled, professional, and passionate about her work. The makeup lasted all day without needing touch-ups!!!!
Her attention to detail and creative direction made the shoot fun and stress-free.
She created a seamless experience, making me feel confident and glamorous. I highly recommend Natalia if you're looking for someone who delivers exceptional results and a wonderful experience!
