Meet Iuliia Ciari, the stunning redhead behind a host of online ads

You’ve probably seen her face in your travels online. She’s hard to miss with her fiery red hair, piercing blue-gray eyes, fun freckles and warm smile.
Her name is Iuliia Ciari. She is a Russian-speaking model who has worked a fair bit with photographer Maksim “Max” Petrov, who has an eye for pretty women.
I first wrote about Ciari in 2017 when I noted that her face was being used to sell everything from online dating services to mystery novels. At the time, I emailed Petrov for information on the unknown woman he only identified as “Julia,” but he didn’t respond.
I didn’t pursue it further and let readers of Tech-media-tainment solve the mystery.
Last month, a reader was able to identify the model as Iuliia Ciari. She also has gone by Iuliia Kurdina (a maiden name perhaps?). The reader found her by examining Petrov’s social media connections.
Her picture is still be used in online advertisements and clickbait articles. They include recent ads for online dating, cosmetics and beauty treatments.
She is on Instagram and has an inactive Facebook account.
