Leana Ardeleanu

Leana Ardeleanu is a Berlin-born, Paris-based makeup artist with Transylvanian roots. Self-taught in the digital age, her work moves fluidly between softness and more confrontational expressions of originality, merging classical beauty with the strange and sublime.

Driven by a fresh and inquisitive perspective, she continuously explores new techniques and concepts, developing a distinctive approach to makeup. Her vision has led her to create cover stories for leading publications such as AnOther Magazine, M Le Monde and Travel Almanac, among others.

Leana works between Paris, London and New York.
