The Art of Intentional Beauty
At LA STORIA, beauty is not a surface pursuit...it is a quiet revelation.
Rooted in refined artistry and emotional intention, each experience is designed to honour both how you look and how you feel in life’s most defining moments.
Founded by Akmaral, a makeup artist with over a decade of international experience, LA STORIA is more than an atelier... it is a sanctuary where presence, intuition, and technique converge. Every brushstroke is guided by the belief that true beauty doesn’t demand attention, it radiates from within.
Beyond bespoke services, we extend our philosophy through selective mentorship, confidence workshops, and meaningful pro bono sessions, because when beauty is shared with purpose, its impact becomes timeless.

OUR STORY
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH MAKEUP
Every woman carries a story worth telling and at
La Storia we believe beauty is one of the ways it can be expressed. For us, makeup is not transformation but revelation - a language through which individuality, elegance, and strength are expressed. Rooted in empowerment and refinement, we bring luxury makeup artistry to the moments that matter most, from bridal and occasion to editorial and bespoke experiences. Based in Devon, Cornwall, and London,
La Storia exists to honour your journey and to capture beauty with timeless elegance.
Empowerment Through MAKEUP
At La Storia, beauty is a quiet form of power. Through refined makeup artistry, we reveal rather than transform giving women the confidence to move with intention.
The Story of Individuality
No two journeys are the same. Our artistry is designed to honour each woman’s unique narrative, creating beauty that is deeply personal and timeless.
Beauty in Every Chapter
We believe beauty lives beyond appearance- it resides in thought, presence, and the way you carry yourself. Makeup becomes the finishing touch to a life told with elegance.
La Storia was born from my belief that beauty is not only seen, but felt. To me, it lives in strength, in individuality, and in the quiet elegance of how we carry ourselves. Makeup is simply the medium through which I can honour and celebrate these qualities. My hope is that every woman I work with feels empowered, refined, and truly herself. It would be my honour to share that journey with you.
Warmest wishes
Akmaral
