About decorative
My image makes eyebrow gel, red lipstick and rouge. I have countless scarlet lipsticks, I can put on lipstick on any texture and I will be comfortable. A year ago, probably in 2000, one beauty editor told me, they say, Catherine, there is no other woman with whom the shades of red go like that. And when we were making the first Elle beauty app, the editor gave me twelve out of forty red lipsticks from shooting about twelve pieces. In general, they are often presented: everyone knows what I love and what suits me, and that lipstick is an ideal micro gift.
About five years ago, my friend recommended that I take care of my eyebrows - I, of course, did not listen to her, because I didn’t use cream for thirty years. But one day she invited me to her place and said that she simply wanted to care for my eyebrows. And she showed me a brow gel. Since then, I have never, even if without makeup at all, go outside, without combing my eyebrows and fixing them with gel.
I have never used foundation and powder - I cannot stand the sensation of something on my face and do not understand how others cope with it. Sometimes you have to speak in front of the cameras, and then the makeup artist paints me - the first five minutes everything is fine, and then hellish feelings. And with a layer of tone, I look ten years older. I am lucky with the skin, so inflammations are rare, and I never gloss over anything. I will use matting napkins a lot before the event, but my face is always a little shiny and I don’t want to think about it endlessly.
About care
I decided to trust professionals a long time ago. Especially since I myself do not understand the care. When I see a specialist for the first time, I immediately check what is called, for lice: did he have any unsuccessful jobs, how confident was he in himself, what could he recommend and why does he work with this or that product. Of course, there are still brands and places that are passed from mouth to mouth. I have a very picky girlfriend, if she recommends something, then I can safely buy it.
I found my “own” cosmetologist not long ago, about two years ago. Before that, I went to the salon, where I did only cleanings and the autumn-spring feeding program. Now I have found a person I really trust, and I do everything with him: injections, cares, and cleansing. I like working with him and I see an excellent result. Body treatments I do in another salon, I have a great friend therapist. In general, I do not care what is smeared on me - the result is important to me. But when a massage therapist does some kind of wrapping and shows algae, it is still nice to realize that it is natural.
About bikram
To keep fit, I go for Bikram and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. A friend recently recommended me to Bikram, in general, I did not think that I would do something similar - and I spent half my life in World Class. I like this feeling of renewal when a ton of water comes out of you. However, I can not spend a half hour in the bath, but I can do yoga in a hot room. I decided that every day is too much, I go once a week, on Tuesdays.
