Makeup artist in Anaklia

Anaklia's coast is wide and flat, without trees or buildings to break the air. Wind is close to permanent and stronger than on more sheltered beaches.

Glossy lip products are ruled out and setting is mandatory. The decision about how the hair is worn often has to follow the wind rather than the other way round.

The open beach has a second effect on light. Nothing casts shade, so midday sun falls straight onto the face and the sand reflects it back from below. That flattens contrast, which is why contouring goes on slightly more defined than it would indoors.

As across western Georgia, summer humidity is high. It is among the conditions under which ordinary base loses quality within a few hours.

The base is built to hold, powder is used minimally, and setting is done in two stages — during preparation and again before the ceremony.

It is about forty kilometres from Anaklia to Zugdidi, which creates a practical option: preparation in Zugdidi, ceremony on the coast.

If that is the plan, the transfer is counted separately in the schedule — forty kilometres here is around fifty minutes.

Five hours of driving makes arriving the previous day necessary, with a late evening ceremony the only exception.

The overnight stay is quoted inside the travel cost and stated before you commit.

Makeup starts at 150 GEL, with travel and the overnight stay quoted separately.

Send the date, the ceremony time, where preparation happens and the number of people — you will get one total and a schedule.
