About the role of makeup and your favorite products
I used to do a lot of work until I became a makeup artist. Now I can do everything at work, so for every day I choose a minimum of cosmetics: a light tone, blush, lip balm. If I am going to exit, add mascara, eyebrow gel and highlighter.
Now I have some favorite makeup products. This is the tone of NARS Sheer Glow Foundation, it makes the skin slightly glossy, it's great for evening makeup or filming. NARS also like matte lipsticks, all kinds of highlators. Highlighter in general can be called my favorite remedy, I apply it to the inner corners of the eyes, and above the lip, it is possible over blush, so that the skin shines slightly.
I try to always emphasize the beauty of a particular face, it seems to me that the main task of makeup is to beautify the face. Some makeup artists just make beautiful makeup, but I always try to decorate every face. Therefore, I use tools that complement and not alter the face (including the highlighter).
Pro work and training
Being a makeup artist is a childhood dream. I had all the dolls with makeup, all my mother's black and white photos were also with makeup, painted with blue and red felt-tip pens. But at the time when I wanted to study, there were no suitable schools in Moscow, so I first received a pedagogical education, then a linguistic one, and when the Mosmake school opened (I now teach in it), I immediately ran there. I am very happy that I was in it and did not go to other schools, otherwise I would have to relearn. Then I studied in many places, both in London and in New York, and I can say that Mosmake is really one of the best schools.
Now girls have become better painted. Although I often notice the makeup on others, if it is made out of hand very badly or, on the contrary, excellent. Modern girls strive for natural and neat makeup or decorate themselves with the same red lipstick - and they do it well.
Pro care and nutrition
I go to a beautician who works on Cellcosmet products, I try to visit her at least once every two weeks. In general, as I said, I like different masks, in the summer I switch to serums, and in the winter I use a more dense cream for sensitive skin. For hair, I like texturing sprays, sometimes I use mousses for volume, but most often I use masks and conditioners. I also like to do a five-minute massage with a stiff brush of natural bristle. It works like a scrub and provides lymphatic drainage, tightens the skin well. I learned this from Olya Malysheva, when I went with her to detox, I was very pleased that I learned about this massage. I have also been a vegetarian for many years, so I used to eat superfoods, but now I read a lot of articles about their uselessness, so I try to just choose healthy foods.
