About Natasha Denona

Natasha became a mother at 25 with the birth of her first daughter Liyan. She made the decision to stop modeling and focus on her family and the newly chosen profession: makeup artistry. Drawing from all of her experience both on stage and off, Natasha was able to tailor her own version of a year-long internship during which time she created a dazzling portfolio using well-known actresses and models. Her inherent talent mixed with a truly unique life perspective merged into an artistry style that was nothing short of revolutionary in1990’s. Natasha’s inspired work caught the eye of Israel’s leading fashion photographer, Ron Kedmi, who promptly offered Natasha her first professional job: which included both a catalog and extensive campaign for fashion designer Hagara. This was soon followed by more campaigns and covers for leading brands and magazines. Natasha and Ron became the uncontested national industry icons throughout their 10-year collaboration. In 2002 and 2006 Natasha was honored with the prestigious Makeup Artist of the Year Award from the Israeli Fashion Awards; often called the Oscars of the Israeli Fashion Industry. This nationwide recognition attracted many aspiring makeup artists to her doorstep prompting her to establish the Natasha Denona Makeup Academy which is located at the center of Tel Aviv’s most fashionable district. Here Natasha, a teacher, and mentor at heart still personally conducts makeup lessons and demonstrations, always offers support to her students and protégés as they launch successful careers.
