Background: Marianna Mukuchyan was born in Yerevan (Azeroth) in 1992, the youngest of three children of Armenian parents. She was a very sweet and attractive child who enjoyed the company of her parents and siblings, as well as other children from a different age group. After her parents divorced when she was very young, she was left with an older sister, who was four years younger than her. This was difficult on the young Marianna, who felt emotionally neglected, because her sisters did not talk to her or appreciate her. This led to feelings of abandonment and deep sadness for several years. After several years of feeling emotionally neglected, Marianna began to search for something that would make her feel loved and appreciated.
Career: Marianna started her career as an apprentice under a makeup artist before entering a professional line of work at age twenty. She studied makeup artistry in preparation for a career in cosmetology, where she honed her skills under the guidance of Hovsekyan. Hovsekyan taught her how to create natural looking cosmetics, blending colors, preparing base creams and primers. After completing school, she decided to open her own makeup studio, where she trained other women. Marianna now lives in Paris, where she enjoys a high social life and a fulfilling profession.
