About the blog and makeup goal
Blogging is my way of showing an alternative point of view. Previously, reading blogs, I thought, why don't they write about this thing, or wonder why not try it. At some point, this resulted in a desire to tell that in addition to the 50 shades of nude and taupe there are as many, if not more, other colors that are equally beautiful and usable. I'm still looking for my own format, because reviews are good and interesting, but I want to carry more good and light and more creativity. Probably, it is necessary to reshape the blog and develop the YouTube channel.
It seems to me that cosmetics is not so much a way to embellish oneself, it serves for the self-expression of a person. As practice has shown, make-up, if not a full-fledged language, is an auxiliary element for sure. People may not understand your language, but they will always understand what you want to say by emphasizing or hiding something or applying the characteristics of a particular group to themselves: eyebrows, lipstick color or a band on the face.
I remember how I watched on MTV a long time ago, in which people made up and re-recorded popular clips with them. This is the magic outside of Hogwarts: we take one person, conjure - and after some time it turns out completely different. Until now, the bank has a notebook in which I wrote down what I myself would like to redo.
Cosmetics is one of those many things that simplifies our life (looked at the number of cans, began to doubt simplicity) and makes it a little brighter and more interesting. I’m a kind of hippie makeup: you want to make yourself up - paint, you don’t want - but please, like collecting limits (pokemon - collect them all) - ok, love nude - norms, adore brighter and more and shine - hug. The key - do not be aggressive in your ideas and do not try to impose them on someone, although it is not only traced in the field of beauty. If you are comfortable in your image, then the last thing a stranger will ask you is why you have red eyebrows or blue lipstick.
About own style
It will sound very pathetic, but I have been friends with cosmetics since I don’t even remember myself. Judging by the photographs of children, mother's palettes were regularly attacked, and their father usually became their victim. From about 11 years old I had my own handful of all kinds of really beautiful pieces for performances in a dance group. Until now, with a shudder, I recall the standard scheme: white for the whole eyelid, a black triangle on the outer corner, a double black-and-white arrow and a tone two or three shades darker because it was impossible to appear so pale.
Probably the brightest of my experiments is to have time to be red in a week, to repaint in bordeaux, paint over black, wash off and become red again. This four-year old experiment cost me half the length of my hair. Generally, since I graduated from school, I constantly dye my hair. Name any tone from black to red - and with a probability of 95 percent of this color I was.
But for a year and a half I have been the owner of red hair in different variations from a single red to an ombre of dark cherry to salmon. Not to say that I somehow went diligently to this, just a couple of years ago I thought: “Hmm, but it would be interesting to dye in an unnatural color. Orange or red, orange or red?” Half a year later, miraculously I found my master in instagram and got hooked on R02 anthocyanin. Of course, from time to time someone says “oh, it was better for you with dark” or “oh, and you didn’t think to return to red, you were so cute,” but my logic is very simple: what I have now is right for me and why do you clog your head with someone else's hair color.
At work we have a free form of clothing, probably so. Yes, and my style of clothing rarely implies something extraordinary, since I became red, I happily walk in shades of black. A funny moment: when I was just beginning to actively get involved in cosmetics, the reaction to burgundy lipstick was at the level of “why did you put on this black color?” Now even green lipstick and red shadows do not strain anyone. Sometimes it even seems that pale skin raises more questions than what makeup on this skin. Yes, for more serious and formal events, I choose classic costumes and more calm make-up, but nothing terrible happens if the eyeliner turns red instead of black, although with lipstick I would not bend it in such cases. And I am very comfortable with the hair color, so it does not cause questions and any criticism.
About care
Caring and decorative cosmetics go in tandem. And if a well-chosen and working caregiver is completely self-sufficient and does not make decorative binding (although nothing makes it mandatory), then decorative without care cannot exist, in my opinion.
To the care that I have now - a minimum of foaming agents and good multistage hydration - I came six months ago. Prior to that, sincerely believed that I have oily skin that needs to be dried and matted, matted and dried. The skin was clearly not thrilled. Now I remove makeup in three stages: removal with a milk or a two-phase agent, rinsing with water or washing with hydrophilic oil, or better a quick cleansing mask, if necessary, micellar water. Moisturizing in the same way takes place in three stages: tonic-serum or oil-cream, or mask, depending on the need, time of day and mood.
In decorative terms, I'm a fan of color. I am in love with color, and I am in the eternal search for the most ideal and purest colors. If this is a pure perfect color, it does not matter if it is blue, green or orange - give two, even shadows, even lipstick, or even blush. Like everyone, I had an extremely lipstick period, and mostly reddish. Now, I constantly try something new in both media and styles, I even try to choose something that I either don’t understand or don’t like, and try to figure it out.
