Artist Vera Konyashova about favorite cosmetics
FOR THE FACE "HEAD" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of interesting characters for us - and we show all this to you.
About care
I do not have a lot of cosmetics to care, which is strange, because I have not the most perfect skin. Although recent experiments have shown that nothing is more effective than sitting at home on buckwheat porridge and mineral water. Everything would be fine if it were not for the mountains of chocolates, which all will not end after the holidays (there is no better way to get rid of chocolates than to eat them quickly). In fact, the skin condition improved markedly when I started taking vitamin E, magnesium B6 and Baktistin, actively pouring all of this on Borjomi.
I try not to dwell on the same cosmetics for more than three months. I feel that the skin gets used and stops responding to anything. Maybe I just have not found a tool that would suit me perfectly. You have to try new things, which is of course great, but sometimes scary. And since I am a big fan of ozone therapy, peels and other cosmetic procedures. I have nothing against Botox and pricks in the face, but in everything you need to know when to stop. In any case, this is still far away, especially since I resemble my grandmother: her skin is dense and elastic and wrinkles appeared rather late. But with bruises under his eyes something must be done now. And do not tell me about sleeping and walking in the fresh air. It will not save.
Recently, I was finally convinced that stress, anger and fear greatly affect how I look. I do not like to take soothing ones, so I have to endure or somehow agree with myself. If it does not work out - motherwort or valerian. But in general it is time to tie up with stress. Recently in my life was the first valokordin.
About hair
I also got curly hair from my grandmother, and if she slept in hair curlers all her life to tame this madness a bit, then I would never be ready to go for it. All hair types have their drawbacks, mine probably have only dryness and absolute uncertainty about the future. Sometimes even the next hour. If I did the styling - be the rain! In general, I try to wash my hair no more than once every three days. Especially since they usually look much better on the second day. If you need to update your hairstyle, but you do not want to wash with shampoo, I just apply a hair mask or a balm-rinse. I like to make hair masks from olive oil, eggs, sour cream, kefir and everything else they are usually made of. I know that there are a lot of good products for this type of hair, like mine, but for some reason I still can’t use them.
Pro makeup and procedures
At the beginning of the New Arbat there is a non-stop beauty salon, where I once came in at night to get a manicure. Since then, I choose this time for such events. I used to think: who are these people who go to a beauty salon at night? It turns out that there are many. I have never been on a special diet, but recently I completely gave up dairy products and started to feel much better.
I never had anything brighter on my face than red lipstick and a gigantic scratch that was very good to me. To draw normal arrows that would suit me, I only got it once in my life. Smokey Aiz I do not go, but recently learned to apply blush on the right place. I have nothing against experiments and bright make-up, but the best thing I've ever managed to draw is fat black circles around the eyes; then try to wash it all off - and then everything worked out as it should. Sometimes I dream of golden shades or become a blonde. If the first is easy to implement, then with the second, of course, it is more difficult, I do not think that this will ever happen.
