About

Hi, I'm Vasia.
And I love wedding mornings.

I'm a bridal makeup artist based in Erimi, Limassol, working across all of Cyprus. My approach is part craft, part calm — designing makeup that looks like the most beautiful version of you, and stays that way until the last dance.

I trained in Cyprus and refined my craft assisting senior artists across the island for several years before founding Blushed by V in 2018. What started as a one-woman studio has grown into a quietly busy bridal practice — but the philosophy hasn't changed: every booking is a one-to-one, a private conversation, and a chance to design something genuinely yours.

I work with airbrush technique because it gives a finish that photographs beautifully without ever feeling heavy on the skin. My kit blends Charlotte Tilbury, Pat McGrath Labs, Danessa Myricks, Hourglass, Westman Atelier, MAC Pro, Inglot and Temptu — professional-grade products chosen for skin health, longevity, and how they read on camera.

Beyond bookings, I teach the bridal masterclass at KES College, mentoring the next wave of Cypriot makeup artists with real-world technique that simply isn't in the textbooks. Teaching keeps me sharp, and the students keep me curious.

When I'm not at a wedding or in the classroom, you'll find me hunting down better brushes, testing new long-wear formulas on myself, or photographing kit flat-lays in the studio.
