About make-up
My passion for cosmetics has always come in waves. I remember exactly how on the sixth birthday five girlfriends gave me the Little Fairy sets at once, and then it seemed to me that there would be enough more than twenty years for stocks of shampoos, gloss and varnishes. The next period was in 2007, and I would not want to return it. I cut my hair to a dangerous bean, persuaded my mother to allow me to dye my hair in purple and bought black shadows. Then interest in cosmetics disappeared, and I used only the means for problematic skin. I think that one of the reasons was my transitional age and the perception of makeup as something terribly frivolous, which is not worth wasting time.
A year ago, I started watching a video on YouTube and again I was excited to be beautiful. I really like Jenna's channel: she has natural and unbanal solutions without a thousand layers and contouring that frightens me. It's very cool that now there are almost no rules left and everyone can find self-expression in make-up. I would like to experiment more, like Ruth, and paint on my face like on canvas, but I still don’t have enough courage. But I look at her work as an art and I get inspired.
About care
A year ago, I discovered Korean thousand-step care. From time to time I have rashes and in general my skin is quite capricious. At the very beginning, amusing packaging attracted me like toys, but after studying the question properly, I began to choose products that look less like cosmetics from cartoons, and so far I am pleased with the result. I usually cleanse my face, apply toner and essence and moisturize my skin with emulsion and cream. At the very beginning it sounds crazy and looks like a routine, but in my case the system works. I am also a fan of aloe-gel - it is universal, and you can write a whole book about how to use it.
About lifestyle
I made sure that my appearance is very dependent on lifestyle and attitude in general. I try to be less nervous and worry about small things and think more about mental equilibrium. I worked in a ceramics studio for a year, and I really liked making objects and dishes - I equate the modeling process with meditation, it calms me down. Some of the main conditions for good health: work, tasty food, regular sleep and a constant supply of water. I try to drink two liters a day, although I understand that the benefits of this ritual are not confirmed. Unfortunately, I can not boast of physical activity: I spend most of my time at the computer and it is very difficult to force myself to do exercises or play sports. But I signed up for dancing and I’m already waiting for the start of classes - I wonder what happens in the end.
