Doncaster beauty technician scoops another prestigious prize
It is the latest in a line of successes for Deya
An award-winning Doncaster beauty technician has added another prestigious prize to her collection.
Andreea Szirbik, who runs Beauty by Deya, was runner up in the Most Talented Make Up Artist 2026 at The Official Beauty Awards UK.
She said: “From a girl with big dreams and a makeup brush to standing on that stage collecting my very own trophy - what a moment!
“It was honestly a movie - from being stuck in traffic for over an hour and almost missing my category, to making it just in time to hear my name being called.
“Being recognised as Runner-Up for Most Talented Make Up Artist 2026 means more to me than words could ever explain.
“Every late night, every early morning, every client, every challenge and every little sacrifice has brought me here.
“And to think this is only the beginning.”

“Never make your dreams smaller just because they seem too big. Keep showing up, keep working and never stop believing in yourself.
Earlier this year, she was also among the finalists in the natiownide UK Hair and Beauty Awards 2026.
