Photographer Vera Mishurina about cosmetics and smells

FOR THE FACE "HEAD" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of girls of interest to us - and show all this to you.

About cosmetics

I used to be more beautiful. I think it was a period of some kind of search. I don’t talk about school at all, everyone had dark times with blue shadows and all that. It seems to me that now I stopped the experiments, because I found everything that suits me. I rarely choose a new one, I often buy the same thing many times, because I am too lazy to look for an alternative and so suitable things.

The desire to make up the party brightly or just at home is very rare for me. Last year I had a course of visage, which opened my eyes to many things and let me understand what was right for me. Before, I scooped information from the Internet, and there everything was laid out on the shelves, and I understood the basic things. I learned about the shadows from there: I have a hanging upper eyelid, and now I know how to apply shadows so that they lie beautifully. In general, it seems to me that the main purpose of makeup is to correct the flaws.

I terribly dislike masks, serums: first, I don’t want to spend time on it, and second, I don’t believe in their super-effect. I notice that when I don't do anything with myself, I look better, even after an illness. I love only micellar water and a feeling of freshness after it.

About aromas

I love the flavors, but about every six months there is a rotation of smells (except for Narciso Rodriguez For Her, it is constant). Last year, I used Comme des Garçons Series 3 Incense Zagorsk, now for the summer I have nothing, but I want Yves Saint Laurent In Love Again. In general, I noticed that craving for certain types of fragrances does not depend much on the time of year, but somehow happens by itself.

Pro mode

I, like everyone, had a period when I was interested in the Waterbalance app, but it just taught me to drink more water than before, I did not notice any significant changes. But I use an application that takes into account what you eat. Usually girls do not talk about it, because everyone is embarrassed to diet. But when you write down everything that you eat, there is an opportunity to analyze your diet. I've realized that I eat a bunch of carbohydrates and I need to cut them. I don’t play sports, but I try to walk a lot: if there is an opportunity to walk and not get into transport, I’ll choose the first one. In the summer I ride a bike in the district park - that's my whole sport.
