"I've always wanted to do a photoshoot with Joana Bastos, and when the opportunity arose, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. I never thought that at 52 years old I could be a top model! Joana made me a magazine star!"

“Absolutely fantastic job! Joana is an incredible professional, always attentive to details, respecting our taste and making suggestions she believes most appropriate. The products she uses are excellent quality, the makeup remained impeccable until the end of the party. Excellent outcome! I highly recommend. “

“I met Joana at a photography event and where she did my makeup. I really liked the result and I realized that day, the potential of makeup to disguise my facial flushing...that bothered me so much at times of special exposure, especially in a professional context. Until that date, I rarely used makeup and I didn´t know how to do it myself. Shortly afterwards, I ventured into self-makeup training with Joana and since then, although I still don’t put on makeup on a daily basis, I do it when I need to. It seems little but the jump in my self-confidence was major. Today I am much calmer when faced with situations where I know I am uncomfortable and where I anticipate blushing. I stopped worrying about that outward sign of discomfort that everyone noticed and now no one sees. I resolve the situation autonomously (following the steps and using the products that Joana suggested for me) and I am mentally free to focus on what really matters.”

"I loved my first creative makeup and bodypainting training with Joana. For me, she is one of the most professional there is. Just look at the images she produces! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!”

“Because you inspire me, today I left my comfort zone and took the risk!”

“Honestly your work is amazing, we loved it so much!”

“It was one of the best experiences of my year and maybe even in my future journey as a makeup artist. I admire your talent.”

“The self-makeup workshop I did with Joana Bastos was a pleasant surprise, in many ways. Because Joana made learning about the fundamentals of the brushes,...colors and textures in the universe of makeup and face care accessible, understandable and fun, because she showed, in each one of us, what to do and how to do it, in simple and effective gestures. For someone, like me, who doesn't have natural talent and considered it almost impossible to take advantage of the workshop, Joana's passion, teachings and patience allowed us to learn and how to use it. Strongly recommend!”
