Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia and raised in a small Siberian city, Anastasia Durasova was fascinated by art from a very young age. She started her artistic education at an art school to get the feeling of colors and shape, as well as drawing and painting skills. After finishing art school she incorporated her techniques onto the body instead of a canvas.
Anastasia’s early ambition to become a makeup artist began while she was doing her first body paints. Her training began at the age of 17 when she attended the Make Up Atelier Paris School.
In 2000, Anastasia moved to Moscow and started working with a number of established Russian photographers. In time, she collaborated on photo commercials, music videos and eventually beauty and fashion photography.
