The artist behind Hanse Beauty

Beauty begins where you still recognise yourself.

I’m Raquel – Hamburg born and raised, a creative observer and make-up artist with a deep appreciation for colour, texture and the details that make every look personal.

01 / My Story

Rooted in Hamburg

Curiosity, colour and the desire to look a little closer.

I grew up in Neugraben and now live in the south of Hamburg. From an early age, I experimented with colour and texture. To me, make-up was never simply surface – it was a way to express personality.

What began with tutorials, experimentation and countless curious hours gradually became a clear professional path. Friends and family regularly became my models, and every look sharpened my eye for shape, transitions and individuality.

02 / Professional Journey

Professional training · 2025

Passion became a craft.

In 2025, I completed intensive professional make-up artist training at ProAcademy in Hamburg-Altona and successfully passed the final examination.

The certificate is my professional foundation. What matters most is how carefully I listen, how precisely I work and how naturally the finished result feels to you.
