About care and mode

Up to 22 years old, it seemed to me that my skin did not need anything other than moisturizer (and that in winter), and the whole boom around the care products was a common trap for marketers. Then I began to work 10-16 hours a day, and it became clear that a soothing face mask and a cooling gel for the skin around the eyes greatly simplify my life. With such a time schedule, the care is not so much, so on the shelf in my bathroom everything is quite simple: eye cream, face cream (one hundred thousand times in this category mentioned, but the truth is the best Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream), SOS-tool against redness, night serum. Over the weekend, the skin gets a mask and peeling. I also have a “drunken” rule, which, however, it is better to call “I didn’t leave work at eight again” - always, in any condition, wash off cosmetics for the night.

A year and a half ago, a friend brought me to Kiehl's, and since then I have almost no problems with the skin, so I am in the first row of fans of the brand and want to buy everything from them, that's all. Although I know that someone their products do not fit categorically. I also believe in anti-aging agents, and I don’t buy tonal creams without SPF. In my opinion, it is impossible to live in Moscow, work, use only facial wash and shine with it. The city is very old and tiring skin, and it can and should be helped.

With hair care, everything is much worse: if I have never been to a cosmetologist in my life and never complain, then my hairdresser is already rather tired of giving me masks and serums. The only way for me to maintain a more or less acceptable hair condition is to cut off half the length every two to three years. Oils and sprays correct the situation illusory until the next shampooing, that is, for the day. Fortunately, the hair grows very quickly and I do not have time to get bored hair.

I have a fad on the topic of manicure - I do not understand how not to care for my hands. Dry cuticle and sloppy shape of nails look worse than dirty hair. True, it hits the wallet - I do not know how to paint my nails on my own. In two minutes I can draw perfect arrows or make-up lips with dark lipstick without a pencil, but not nails. In the varnish is everything: fingers, table, clothes. Therefore, once a week and a half I visit the salons, and over time it became a soothing ritual. To sit for more than an hour, stretching the arms and legs of the masters, while another soap drama unfolds on TV, isn’t it a luxury. In addition, this is a legitimate excuse for why you are physically unable to respond to mail and messages half the evening. Love.

Pro makeup

In high school I bought shadows, persistent lipsticks, eyeliners and ultra-volume carcasses in kilograms. I also remember, there was such a two-phase black and white mascara up to the ceiling. In general, I burned all my eyelashes safely and did not paint them at all until after graduation. As, actually, and in general a person, not counting the use of blush, which sometimes gave mother.

Make-up came into my life as much as leaving - with work. I then started working on the TV channel “Rain”, and I was fascinated by the ease with which make-up artists could turn me from a tired person with inflamed skin and bruises under his eyes into a person who seemed to have even slept a little. Out of interest, this eventually turned into a hobby, now I like to paint my girlfriends and think about learning makeup artist, just for myself. I often see girls in the city with beautiful natural data, but with faces, for nothing, in my opinion, untouched by makeup: dark circles under the eyes or pale skin without a hint of blush. And these girls I really want to immediately make up, because I imagine the difference that makes makeup.

I like girls with bright lipsticks at weekday lunch, because lipstick is new heels: you can wear a sweatshirt and jeans, but with bright lips and even complexion it will not look boring or too simple. I have rare periods when I don’t want to use cosmetics, and there are frequent periods when I paint sweeping bright blue arrows. But even on lazy days, I always put a concealer, a blush and a highlighter on my face to look fresher.
