I’M Yalda MAFAKHERI
Founder & Lead artist at Yalda Mafkheri Academy
I entered the beauty industry in 2013, and over the past few years, I’ve been grateful to become one of Iran’s most recognized makeup educators.
I’m the Founder and Lead Artist of the Yalda Mafakheri Academy, where I work with a talented team — many of whom started their journey as my students and now shine as professional artists themselves.
So far, I’ve had the privilege of teaching over a thousand students, both online and in-person, from Iran and around the world.
I’m always striving to grow and stay inspired by attending international masterclasses, ensuring that my academy continues to represent creativity, innovation, and excellence in modern beauty education.
