Makeup Artist
Philosophy
It should be natural, mindful and refined. Less is often more.
My name is Adriana Bękalska and I am the founder of Adriana Maluje. Adriana Maluje (“Adriana paints” in Polish) grew out of a need for a place where beauty is not defined by a single formula. It is a space for women who want to feel special while staying true to themselves.
I use makeup to enhance your beauty, not to cover it up. Your skin stays fresh and your face keeps its own distinctive features.
I never follow a single template. Every look is matched to your features, the proportions of your face, your style and the occasion.
I pay attention to every element: from skin preparation, through the eyes and lips, to the final finish.
I create makeup that is defined but never heavy. Feminine, modern and timeless, yet light and effortless.
Makeup should not only look beautiful the moment it is finished, but also stay flawless for many hours.
What I do
I specialise in bridal and occasion makeup in which natural beauty meets elegance.
I focus on enhancing your features with intention, a personal approach and attention to every detail. My makeup never takes away a woman’s own character; instead, it lets her feel even more like herself.
My occasion makeup is about enhancing your beauty with intention, not changing it. I focus on luminous skin, subtly defined features and an elegance that needs no excess. What matters is harmony, balanced proportions and perfection hidden in the details.
For me, bridal makeup is the art of balancing natural beauty with the unique character of the moment. I create looks in which every detail matters and beauty stays authentic. I love timeless elegance: the kind that looks beautiful both in person and on camera, and that you can look back on years later and still recognise yourself.
I see growth as an essential part of my work. I keep expanding my knowledge, refining my technique and drawing inspiration from new directions in the world of makeup. Training courses and industry events help me develop my own aesthetic and raise the quality of my work.
For me, growth is not about chasing every new trend, but about consciously refining my craft and my aesthetic.
Your special moment deserves a beautiful setting. Let’s start by booking your date.
Where I work
Giżycko is my home base and the main place where I work. This is where most of my makeup is created.
I work mainly across Warmia and Masuria, and for bridal packages we agree on the place of your preparations in advance.
I am not limited to this region, though. For bridal packages, the location and travel arrangements can be agreed individually.
Have you chosen where you will get ready? Write to me and we will plan the details together.

Good to know
Good preparation starts with the details. I have gathered the most important information about my services, how to prepare for your appointment and how to book a date, to answer any questions you may have and help you plan our meeting with peace of mind.
If you need more information or would like to discuss the details of your booking, feel free to get in touch.
Write to meWedding dates are in high demand, so I encourage you to get in touch well in advance. Especially in the wedding season, it is worth booking early, so that we can agree on all the details calmly.
The makeup trial is part of the bridal package. It is an important stage of the preparations, during which I get to know your expectations, we talk about your inspiration and together we work out the direction of your makeup for the wedding day.
During our meeting we talk about your expectations, your dress, accessories and the character of the celebration. Then I do your makeup, which we can refine as we go. It matters to me that you feel comfortable, beautiful and, above all, like yourself.
Yes. Skin preparation, the right choice of products and the application technique are key to how long makeup lasts. I use tried and tested professional cosmetics and make sure that your makeup looks beautiful both in person and in photos.
Yes. I also provide bridal packages with travel to the place where you get ready. We agree on the travel, the location and how the wedding preparations are organised individually when you book.
You can book using the form on this website. Simply choose the type of service and your preferred date. Once I receive your enquiry, I will get in touch to confirm the details of your appointment.
The time needed depends on the character of the makeup and your individual needs. I give every appointment as much time as it takes to prepare the skin carefully and perfect every element.
Absolutely. During our consultation I take into account your preferences, your features, the character of the event and your outfit. My aim is for the makeup to enhance your natural assets and work in harmony with your whole look.
Of course. Inspiration is a great starting point for our conversation. I treat it as a guide, though, not a template to copy. Together we will choose what best enhances your beauty.
The most important things are a regular skincare routine and good hydration. On the day of your appointment, come with clean skin and no makeup. I do not recommend experimenting with new cosmetics or intensive treatments just before your makeup.
I set prices individually. They depend on the type of makeup, the travel distance and the number of people, among other things. Write to me with the date, place and number of people, and I will prepare a quote.
Choose the service you need and send your request using the booking form. Once I receive your message, I will get in touch to agree on the details and confirm that the date is available.
I present the detailed booking terms, including any deposit, when we agree on the date. The booking is confirmed once the agreed formalities have been completed.
My main place of work is Giżycko and the surrounding area. For bridal packages I also travel to where you are getting ready, once we have agreed on the location and the organisational details.
Yes. I am not limited to Giżycko and the immediate area. If you are asking about another location, please get in touch: we will agree on whether the service is possible and on the travel arrangements.
