Summary

I’m Yara Fayyad, an artistic, highly trained, and confident makeup artist living in Berlin, Germany. My career is built on a unique foundation of engineering and cinematic makeup artistry, combining technical precision with creative vision.

With over six years of experience in film makeup, I specialize in special effects and character transformation for cinema productions across Berlin. I also represented Charlotte Tilbury in Potsdam as a skin and beauty specialist, delivering tailored consultations and embodying the brand’s luxury identity.

Beyond the beauty industry, I’ve worked as a Customer Service Representative for PlayStation at Sykes GmbH, and as a Social Media Content Moderator for Meta at Majorel GmbH—roles that sharpened my communication skills and digital awareness.

I’m multilingual, fluent in Arabic, English, and German, and I hold a degree in Technical Drawing from the Higher Engineering Institute at the University of Damascus. I’ve also earned a Masterclass Certificate in Makeup Artistry from Charlotte Tilbury, adding to my comprehensive beauty credentials.
