Hairdresser Ekaterina Konoreva about hair care and cosmetics
For "Available"we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of interesting characters to us - and we show all this to you.
About care
Perhaps my facial and body care system will seem to someone very complex and tedious, but everything I do gives real results. I already have favorite products that I use for a long time - sometimes I buy something new, but it is always painful. In fact, all the procedures are quite simple. The first is cleansing, then biologique Recherche P50 lotion, a unique product that removes dead cells and is similar to a light acid peel, and a moisturizer at the end. I do it in the morning and in the evening, once a week - a mask.
With the body, everything is also easy: first peeling, then cream or coconut oil. Sometimes I take a bath with essential oils - it helps to relax, calmly breathe and get the most delicate skin as a result. With hair, at first glance, everything is very difficult - this is probably a tribute to my hairdressing profession. I wash my hair every day: first shampoo, then conditioner and always a texturizing spray or primer. Once a week I make a mask. I do not dye my hair, so sometimes I use a silver shampoo that neutralizes yellowness due to the summer sun. And yes, I do not do any egg, onion masks and advise you.
About health, sleep and massage
First of all, a good dream is very important - it is not too late to go to bed. When I sleep a little, I am absolutely broken in the morning, and this is reflected in my mood, and I still work with people. Therefore, flavors in my life play a very important role. I prefer not to drink sleeping pills, but to breathe, for example, with bergamot, it relieves stress and irritation - after it I fall asleep perfectly.
I also have a client - a real master of yoga and Thai massage, she does it with her knees and elbows. The effect is amazing! I fall asleep after 5 minutes, well, and all the tension relieves instantly. She comes to me 1-2 times a week. Even in the fall, I try to drink vitamins, ginger tea in large quantities and echinacea. I would like to eat less in the evenings, but it is difficult. I am on my feet all day and I absolutely can’t eat, so I go home hungry. Recently, I try to eat better and choose fresh vegetables, not a sandwich. I would also like to start swimming, it has a beneficial effect on human health, which is worth all day, but, alas, until I can find time.
About make-up
As for makeup, everything is simple and difficult at the same time. The basis of everything is beautiful and healthy skin plus well-groomed eyebrows, so my make-up is very simple. I apply tonal fluid, emphasize cheekbones and pay great attention to eyebrows. Lipstick for every day I choose neutral, I can apply a small layer of mascara. I really like red shades, so I often choose them when I go to some event. My most audacious experiments just with lipstick.
All the information about beauty comes to me from the people with whom I am surrounded - my colleagues from Ryabchik, familiar makeup artists and stylists. Also, my beautician enlightens me about new products. I know all the most interesting things about hair from our suppliers of professional cosmetics. Often clients tell useful information. Sometimes when traveling, I just go to some cosmetics store or a pharmacy, study new brands or new items of my favorite brands, take them in large quantities, and then try. Recently, during my trip to New York, I discovered that MAC has a matte lipstick of atypical shades, such as white, black, sapphire, etc. Naturally, I bought them: in my experience, everything is useful for shooting.
About the power of emotions
I still have to start swimming, to feel in good physical shape - I really love water. Travel helps me to stay in moral balance, even for close distances - and this is not necessarily a beach holiday. A change of scenery, new acquaintances are always fresh emotions that have a beneficial effect. I still can’t do without music: I’m a great music lover and am constantly searching, I love the classics, the symphony orchestra and the Moscow Conservatory. It really inspires me! Good music plus travel is a double charge of positive energy.
