Meet Amelia Zaborac
From film to photography to weddings and special events, I serve my clients as a freelance makeup artist and esthetician, both onsite and in the beauty suite.
After completing my makeup training at the Makeup Designory in Los Angeles in 2013, I’ve worked on feature and short films, commercials, weddings, photoshoots, haunted houses, and more, always striving to elevate my craft with every project.
With my esthetics license, I now offer facials and skincare, lash lifts and tints, brow treatments, and waxing. Whether I’m helping someone prepare for an important event, teaching them how to use their makeup and skincare products at home, or offering support and guidance through beauty services, my goal is to make beauty feel approachable, effortless, and enjoyable.
I developed my eye for beauty and design through practice and study in multiple fields, including cosmetics, fine arts, graphic design, video production, live events production, and performing arts.
Now based in Everett, WA, I enjoy digital illustration and design, exploring skincare science, keeping up with the evolving makeup landscape, gaming, cooking, starting new creative pursuits, and spending time with my pet snake Summer (she is a very sweet pink and yellow baby 💖).
I look forward to working with you and sharing my knowledge, skills, and creativity to help you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.
My Thoughts on Beauty Standards
I talk a lot about personalized beauty, feeling beautiful, and helping you navigate the world of cosmetics and esthetics services. And I mean every word of it. But I also want to acknowledge that beauty standards have caused a lot of harm, and I don’t want to contribute to that.
I love this industry, the amazing people I work with, connecting with clients, and creating a space for you where you feel seen, cared for, and celebrated. At the same time, I see how beauty standards have hurt people and made them feel “not enough”. It breaks my heart when clients are hard on themselves or apologize for their authentic self.
I believe you never need to “fix” anything or change who you are. I’m not here to ask you to conform, I’m here to support you.
I want to follow your heart, helping you lean into what makes you feel amazing and gorgeous. I celebrate what you love about yourself, help find solutions for things that may be weighing on you, and provide services that have you feeling confident, relaxed, and radiant.
I know we’ve all internalized certain beauty standards, and there’s no shame in that. I’ll always meet you with compassion, not judgement, and together we can navigate that tension with kindness and acceptance.
At the end of the day I want to help you feel your best in a way that feels true to you. Without pressure, perfection, or ideals, and with care in a space where you are always enough.
