Pro makeup and care

I am a makeup artist and I have access to a suitcase with decorative cosmetics, but mainly I use several means: tone, mascara, lipstick, highlighter and rouge. At work, my hands are always in sight, and it is important that they look good. I love, of course, to do everything with professionals, but if there is no time, I can cope with the manicure myself.

I am blonde, not natural, and my hair is especially damaged and requires extra care. I have a wonderful series of Marine Grace: mask, conditioner and shampoo. After them, the hair is soft and easy to comb - for my fine hair is important. My skin is quite dry, especially in winter, so I have a lot of moisturizers and peels.

About brushes

I have a lot of brushes, but now my favorite workers are from the new MUFE series. They are made of synthetic nap and are wonderful because they can paint any person. When you go to shoot, you never know if the model is allergic to natural bristles, so these MUFE brushes will always help. In addition, they are soft, comfortable and beautiful.

I have several favorite brushes for my makeup. A small MAC duofiber with which I put all the cream products (highlighter, foundation, blush); a brush for feathering MAC 217, which any makeup artist has not in one copy. I also found a very neat brush Chanel 14, with which even in small eyes it is convenient to shade interstitial arrows.

About work

In November, it will be just a year, as I work as a makeup artist. I never thought that I would do it. I studied in Ostankino as an image maker and for a while worked as a stylist. In the basic course of study was the discipline "Vizazh", and there I was filled. Even the girls with whom I studied constantly asked me to make them up, I liked it myself - and I thought that it was time to do this professionally. I learned from Vladimir Kalincheva, then at the creative courses of Darya Kholodnykh, and then I went to see Sergey Naumov and for a year now I have been his assistant. At the same time, I already had my own clients, projects that do not let me get bored.
