About an unusual make-up
If I leave the house without makeup, I feel as if I pretend to be someone else, as if I am incognito. When you draw something on your face or somehow dress up in a special way, you stop being just a person with facial features and a figure you didn’t choose, you become a work of art. In general, people often say that I look "theatrical", but I do not understand why this should be bad. If it is possible on the stage, on the podium, on the screen, then why not in life? There are different rules, but this is still the same life, only in other colors, in other words. It is even better to say this: art is a cover of life.
But what matters is not whether it is normal from the point of view of the people who see you, but how you feel about it. If you are uncomfortable in the most luxurious makeup, it will not give the desired result. With cosmetics as with shoes on heels: if you wear shoes and you are uncomfortable, it will look foolish and not beautiful. There are, of course, charming exceptions.
About looks and fantasy
I do not like to share the "holidays" and just days. I always try to look like something special is going to happen today. This is a ritual: I immediately imagine how I am going somewhere under heroic music, and there - oh no! - someone is in danger, you need to defeat the villains, and so on. So every day almost. However, I do not spend a lot of time on the charges: the makeup now takes no more than fifteen minutes, even the most complex. It happens, though, I am too fond of and start thinking out, trying to add something else, but then nothing comes of it. My life is impressionism, you need to follow your feelings.
The way I look is inseparable from what I do and what I say. In the song I'm still the same person as in life, because my main work is not songs and not pictures, but my whole life. A person can be a mediocre artist and a slop musician, but he may have his own style and idea. Here the essence is in the man himself and his interaction with the world.
Doing makeup is like painting a picture, only on the face. I am about twelve, maybe even earlier, began to use cosmetics. At the beginning it was a vigorous Little Princess, pink shadows, some hellish lip gloss. Then they gave me a set of Elizabeth Arden with a bunch of different shades of eye shadows, eyeliners and a book on makeup. I began to do all sorts of things on this book. At first, she applied a natural make-up, then the one that she wanted. It turned out that I used ten colors of shadows at once.
About favorite cosmetics
If we talk about preferences, the mascara is definitely Estée Lauder, lipstick is a classic red Dior, and of course MAC. Matte lipstick is suitable for lips and eyes - for everything. A favorite eyeliner - Chanel Signature. Damn, this is just a miracle, I tell you. For example, at thirteen I went to parties, I cried there, laughed, then fell asleep, and in the morning I seemed to have just made up. Now I bought another Chanel liner, and I also like it very much.
I have not used tonal tools for a long time. Once I plastered like a doll, it seemed to me that it was cool. But in general it is somehow inconvenient. Then I just realized that I would never have a skin like rose petals, so I couldn’t even try. The benefit of sandpaper, it is no longer similar. I would like to find a very white tone to look like a Japanese noble maiden - I even once took a bath with lemon juice, hoping to become whiter, but the bath bleached better than I did.
About care and mood
Now I only use Clinique's divine soap for the face, micellar water and a scrub, and I prefer to use the body treatment on my face. In general, I am obsessed with oils and creams: I do not feel well enough without being anointed. A year ago I went on a journey, sort of like a crusade. It turned out, frankly, not very much - I was just indulging in South Korea and the Philippines. I took with me a guitar in a case in which I packed a lot of things: shampoo, gel, creams, oils, stickers on the face and all cosmetics. In short, without this I can not live. I, even being a damn one knows where penniless, wore a red dress with “theatrical” makeup and a bunch of shiny pieces on my face.
If we talk about something magical that cheers me up, then this gold is a metal that will not fade and will not let you down, milkshakes, and also bombs for the bathroom. I love it very much when the water becomes colored or small stars get poured into it.
In all this there is a special magic. I can not preach my vision of the world to people, this does not make sense, but I can personify the way I want to see the world. If you always act mercifully and fairly, if you look like you always have a holiday, there will be a small chance to make life better. When everything is very bad, I try not to despair. It happens that depressed people stop caring for themselves, but I know that if I stop, I will be even worse. In such things there is a consolation. In general, the worse for me, the better I look - it always happens.
