Pro attitude, age and dancing
My main discovery: I am alone, the other will not. I used to be very worried about age changes, but now I observe them with interest. Yes, at twenty you have a smooth forehead, but at thirty you look much more meaningful, because life experience is imprinted on your face. I appreciate every year for my eventful and traveling life. I don't specifically advertise my age, but if asked, I don’t hide it (I'm 31). Besides, I was obviously lucky with heredity, and for my age I look great.
I do not smoke, do not drink alcohol and try to sleep for at least 7-8 hours. At various times I practiced yoga, went to step aerobics, and ran. I am bored with the glands in the gym, but I love to walk for a long time, I walk a lot. I try to eat right, I love vegetables and fruits, I almost don’t eat meat. But if you want a cake or a burger, I go and buy. My main bad habit is coffee. I have been drinking it since the age of 15, I adore the taste and smell, a rare morning does without a ritual with a Turk and a spices mill. I tried to completely give up caffeine, but suffered a crushing failure. Now I try to limit myself to one cup per day. It turns out not always, but I do not blame myself. I am sure that an extra latte is not as dangerous as self-hatred for not being able to resist.
The best decision in life was to go dancing again. From childhood until I was 14, I practiced sports ballroom dancing, but I had to quit for a number of reasons. Then graduation class, university, work, "adult life" and the eternal lack of time. But the dance stubbornly continued to dream. Three years ago, I finally found my perfect direction - tribal fusion. Technically, this is an incredibly complicated dance based on muscle isolation (for example, the hips move quickly and with clear accents, the hands are slow and smooth, the belly goes in waves, and the head remains stationary, even though you put the jug). Therefore, it is doubly interesting to engage in: you will not only engage the most different muscles - you think a lot. Dancing gives confidence, grace, excellent posture and ability to hold. And they make me really happy. Self-expression through movement is my favorite way of communicating with the world.
About care
I have no prejudice towards inexpensive cosmetics. The main thing is that the tool works. In the care I am not very inclined to experiment: if the tool came up and I see the result, I will buy it again and again.
Wash before bed, no matter how tired - an iron rule learned from childhood (mom, thank you!). I forgot to bring to the shooting "micellar" Garnier, which I remove makeup. The product is worthy: the bank is large, it costs 250 rubles, I did not notice the difference with the popularly loved Bioderma. I wash the Japanese ummyalka and sponge konnyaku - cool thing for gentle exfoliation. Then be sure to use tonic. Then cream, hyaluronic lotion or an indelible moisturizing mask and you can go to sleep. The whole procedure takes about seven minutes.
In the autumn I added whey to the morning care, I plan to use the course. Three or four times a week I do moisturizing and cleansing masks. In the summer I replace cream with gel H20+ Face Oasis and add Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense SPF 50 - the only Sanskrin that doesn’t turn my face into a fat pancake.
For body and hair, I usually buy inexpensive products. Empirically found that the shower gel for 53 rubles is no worse than bodyshopovsky for 900, and it smells even better. Often bring body products from India. I love the smell of sandalwood and herbs, and we usually have fruits, flowers and vanilla.
About decorative cosmetics and fragrances
I love the flavors of unisex and "antiparfyumy". I didn’t take the practically completed COMME des GARÇONS Odeur 71 for shooting, and I have been adoring him for many years and still every time food from delight, having heard familiar notes on someone. I love selektov for the fact that they are each disclosed in different ways. Woody notes, incense, amber, aldehydes and the smell of dust on a hot light bulb almost 100% guarantee that the perfume will interest me. Flower smells do not cling. The exception is Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule, where a rose has been added to my favorite sandal. Aroma heavy, I use in the winter or when I leave on a scene. Perfectly in harmony with the image.
In everyday life I do not paint very much. I don’t like tonal tools, although CC-cream Lumene has taken root. However, in the summer I practically do not use it: here I was smeared on the set, and also on the stage. Most often I use corrector, pencil and gel for eyebrows, mascara, a little highlighter in the corner of the eye, under the eyebrow and on the cheekbones. I can draw arrows in the mood. I feel quite comfortable with a “naked” face. In the cold season I draw arrows more often, I use shadows and blush. Lipstick does not wear at all, the exception - stage makeup.
I love to paint my nails - this is such a meditative process, and it turns out I have great. I love Essie and Rimmel, I think that they are no worse than some Dior, but they are cheaper. I prefer dark, dusty, complex colors. I also have a pair of dark red varnishes, and even one berry. I use them mainly for pedicure.
