About attitude to cosmetics
I am the perfect advertising, marketing, PR-target. Despite several years of work in the industry, I can still buy cream by reading a note in a magazine, a review by a blogger I respect, or simply seeing a beautiful advertising image. At the same time, it happens to me a week to choose any means instead of the one that ended, diligently studying the composition, reading, again, blogs or asking familiar journalists. Probably the most important thing for me is instant fascination, I am a classic buyer of the promise of happiness, instant beauty, slimness and radiance of the skin, and not just 50 milliliters of a well-known brand of moisturizer.
Be sure to somehow try everything; I love technology, new development, new tools, especially in the care. In general, I am a big fan of care products, with make-up I understand more and more: I can make the perfect complexion without BB-cream, but I love the arrows and can only draw with gel liner and bevelled brush, here I am more conservative. At the same time, I terribly love to use the means for other purposes: for example, to make a monochrome make up of “eyes - cheeks - lips”, with cream blush, to “sculpt” a face with bright shadows, like a highlighter.
What I do not exactly have is organics (in the definition given here) and Asian rulers. I tried Asian cosmetics, tried organic products - it’s not mine, I’m not thrilled with it, and my skin reacts quite coolly. Plus, it's like inviting a manicurist to a house: someone loves both home furnishings and savings, and it is very important for me to come to a beautiful salon, sit in a comfortable chair, expand a magazine, ask for a coffee to light a scented candle to change it for a couple of hours. . It is the same with care: I want to open a beautiful heavy jar, smell the fragrant cream, warm it in my hands, that's all.
About care
I remain faithful to some proven tools (for example, Holy Land Lactolan peeling roll - a cosmetologist put me on it), but I really like changing care: I generally get bored quickly, I love vivid impressions in life, a change of experience, experiences. I am very lucky: I have good genes, I look younger than my age, I have no serious skin problems, so I can still afford to concentrate only on hydration in the care. And there are a lot of good moisturizers on the market, there are plenty to choose from.
Dior Prestige cloth mask - I’m going to go broke, it really works wonders: they always ask me what I did to myself, on those days when I walked with this mask for half an hour - the skin shines, the oval of the face is clear when buying wine guaranteed to ask for a passport. The beautiful and always favorite so-called ANR - Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair concentrate - in its composition great hyaluronic acid. I had a clean hyaluron of different brands, but I threw out all the vials: the funds created a film on the skin, they were not absorbed at all. But ANR works, it is especially good in the autumn and winter, when the skin dries, when you do not recognize yourself in the mirror. I uncover it just with the beginning of the heating season. I also love Dior Prestige face oil very much - and in the summer: apply it in the morning instead of cream, and then just a little blush - and instantly the fashionable effect of moist, radiant, healthy skin is achieved.
A couple of years ago I was unsuccessfully painted - I just burned my hair, this has never happened before. I still spliced the effects of that coloring - I can not cut it at all, I have a fear of a short haircut, it seems to me that for this you need to have a perfectly slim body and thicker hair than mine. Plus, I am very happy with a bun and high hairstyles in general - so for the time being I can (until I have turned into an elderly fairy), I wear long hair. And yes, I care for them constantly. Periodically I drink courses of the famous vitamins Oenobiol or Phytophanère, instead of conditioner I make masks to revive dry ends, but I still haven’t found the ideal means, I have a huge amount of them, and I change them all the time.
About decorative cosmetics
I really like makeup, just really - for me this is the most effective way to change appearance and mood. Now I have a lipstick period, a few years ago there was a period of eye makeup. What next - I do not know!
I am a lover of matte lipstick, dense, powdery. The ideal and reference for a long time was the MAC shade of Ruby Woo, this is the famous lipstick. But last Christmas, Dior re-released the lipstick of my childhood - the great and beautiful Diorific in a spiraling golden patron, these were my mother's - and I am an absolute fan of them; lipstick shade Diorling - blood red, dark, dense color - now with me always. They are limited so far, but I know that in the coming Christmas there will be a new release of a number of shades, I am really looking forward to it - and I hope that the “diorifiki” will return to the permanent range again.
Sometimes I like to stick the eyelashes on the corners - they all immediately look into their eyes with a spellbound spell. Bring your eyes with a black Makovsky Kayal - also a stunning effect right away, you do not need to draw any more Smokey, the look is immediately piercing, sharp. Dior also has a brilliant colorless lip liner - there are several waxes in it, it doesn’t allow lipstick to blur and can serve as an excellent base if you shade their lips - he’s always with me, I put a lot of journalists on him and several actresses.
