Manuela Balducci

Manuela Balducci is an Italian make-up artist born in Trani in 1989. After completing her initial training in Italy, she expanded her professional experience with time spent in London and Berlin—two cities that deeply influenced her creative vision. In 2017, she moved to Milan, where she began collaborating with both Italian and international creative teams in the fashion and editorial industries.

Manuela’s approach is rooted in experimentation and artistic curiosity. Passionate about all forms of art—painting, music, dance, sculpture, and graphic design—she brings this multidisciplinary energy into her make-up work. She often incorporates unconventional materials and objects not traditionally associated with beauty, creating looks that are dynamic, tactile, and visually impactful.

Her aesthetic is defined by a constant deconstruction and blending of techniques, resulting in a style that is both incisive and ever-evolving. Alongside her work as a make-up artist, she has developed solid knowledge in creative tools such as Midjourney (AI) and Blender (3D modeling), which she uses to explore new artistic frontiers and expand the expressive possibilities of her work.
