FOR THE FACE "HEAD" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of interesting characters to us - and we show all this to you.
About cosmetics and fragrances
I always like to buy cosmetics, not least because of the packaging design: I like to look at all these jars, tubes, boxes. And in this respect, most of all I love the shadows, since they are all multi-colored, in different jars.
I was lucky: I have always had and have normal skin, so choosing something to care for is not so difficult. The main thing - to not cause allergies and cosmetics like the composition. Most often, I recommend a friend's funds, sometimes I read blogs. The last thing I was recommended was La Roche-Posay sunscreen, which is absolutely necessary for me in the summer.
I seldom use fragrances and more often I choose more neutral light smells, which would only emphasize somehow a general image. Therefore, one bottle is enough for me for a long time. Before Chanel, I had the fragrance of Escada Sentiment, and it seems that I have had it for so long that it is no longer produced.
About care
Personal care is a mass of things, including manicure, pedicure, body care, nutrition, vitamins, visits to the doctor, sports activities. I can’t say that I follow everything and somehow I feed in a special way, I just try not to eat too much fast food, but sometimes it’s hard to refuse a cheeseburger, but not chocolate at all. In general, I do not limit myself in anything so far, as long as my body is well and nothing disturbs him. Maybe in a couple of years I will be more cautious about one or another aspect.
We have a complicated relationship with sports. I can’t do my routine sports for a long time: it quickly bothers me, and somehow I couldn’t find something for myself, so I replace it with spontaneous cycling and long walks in the city.
About appearance and makeup
It seems to me that there are very few girls in the world who would be satisfied with their appearance for one hundred percent. From time to time, each of us doesn’t like something in ourselves, and we try to change it somehow. I had a period when I didn’t like myself at all, and from school almost to the end of the institute I didn’t wear tight clothes, didn’t wear skirts: I thought I was too thin, pale, frail ... It took me a long time to find something harmony with yourself.
I remember this turning point (I think, in the fourth year), when a teacher told me that I resembled Twiggy. I did not know then that this was a cult British model of the 60s, I decided to see who it was, I really saw a lot of similarities and thought that since she was not shy about her thinness, it means that I shouldn’t. And I decided to change my appearance drastically: I cut my hair short (like Twiggy), began to wear mini dresses and less baggy things. Since then, I feel comfortable and not afraid to try on myself some new images. This led to the fact that I was not so fixated on my appearance, and I somehow didn’t pay much attention to the appearance of others - only if I liked some thing or an accessory.
Last time I have not painted in a special way for performances, most often - shades of natural shades or liner. However, sometimes I paint my eyebrows in a pastel-turquoise color, gold or silver (it looks unusual), or use color shades.
Once a friend at the Lambada Market invited me to participate in a make-up master class. They were discussing the trend with colored eyebrows there, and since I have bright eyebrows, they are easy to repaint. It seemed to me that this is unusual: few people pay attention to the eyebrows in terms of color. I used to love experimenting with color shadows and pencils and painting brightly, I often visited the MAC site for inspiration. But now I like more and more inconspicuous makeup in pastel shades.
