The head of the agency Grayling Evgenia Skobeleva about your favorite cosmetics
FOR THE FACE "HEAD" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of girls of interest to us - and show all this to you.
About care
When five years ago my friends began to actively experiment with cosmetic procedures, I was still in the “childish” belief that I didn't need anything like that. Actually, now I am 35, since then little has changed, and I continue to thank the parents for the genetic gift they presented - for the female generation of our family, slow wilt and aging of the skin are characteristic. From here, my specific attitude to cosmetic preparations - I don’t like to experiment a lot and conservatively use certain brands for many years.
I have no illusions about the incredible effect of Ayurvedic cosmetics, especially when I live in a city like Moscow, but having tried enough skin cleansing products at one time, I was surprised to find the simple Khadi soap. I alternate it with Dermalogica cleanser. I don’t have to believe in the wonders of the series “apply this serum, you will get the effect-minus-ten-years”, therefore I stick to a simple formula every day: perfect cleansing and optimal hydration. And from the body care products I like the brand Rituals the most.
Pro makeup
I am perhaps the most indifferent to decorative cosmetics, but even here I still have invariable pets: colorful YSL carcasses and almost the entire line of shadows of Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill. I do not use tonal creams and powder, but for several years my constant companion in the morning make-up is the Guerlain base-shimmer. YSL remains my favorite decorative label - blush-puffer, the base for make-up and the above-mentioned mascaras are most suitable for me, so I don’t have to experiment with other brands. As for lipstick, I got in the habit of buying some new tube every time I find myself in airport duty free.
About aromas
The times of love for subtle and light floral fragrances are in the distant past - for the last decade, my perfume preferences have focused on heavy, sometimes nauseous, saturated odors. I use them in the mood and occasion: Annick Goutal Grand Amour is ideally suited to the day when difficult business negotiations are coming; Serge Lutens Chergui is amazingly pleasant to use on a sunny winter day; Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is perfect for improving your mood. I accidentally brought most of my favorite flavors from trips and have been using them for years. But I have been using the Hermès Hermessence perfume for the longest time: my favorite flavors are Poivre Samarcande, Ambre Narguilé and Vétiver Tonka.
About lifestyle
Being a mother of three children and working at the same time in a rather dynamic profession, I do not experience a lack of movement and exertion. Therefore, sporadically I drop in the gym to run on the track, when the weather does not allow it to be done outside, and at the same time to swim in the pool. I love speed and extreme. At the same time, I dream of resuming yoga classes, but there is not enough time for regularity - after all, there are only 24 hours in a day. Fortunately, with age, we finally managed to understand and recognize that the key to health, beauty and good mood are sleep (surprise!) And water. It removes harmful substances (if you drink a lot of it), corrects back problems (if you regularly swim in the pool) and energizes (if you leave a lot and it passes by the ocean).
