About care
My facial treatment is systematic, it is a mask of clay on steamed skin once a week, twice a week facial cleansing with a scrub and daily moisturizing. For many years I have liked the white clay mask, it cleans, has an antiseptic effect. Since my profession involves daily makeup, my skin needs deep cleansing.
In hair care, I focus on moisturizing - I have a combined hair type. Twice a week I use indelible hair oil for the entire length, except the roots, the hair becomes very smooth, docile and heavy. After each shampooing, I make a mask based on argan oil. In general, I am a fan of oils, I use different oils for the whole body. I love Lush body powder with vanilla flavor, it smells delicious and makes skin velvety.
I like the Green Mama and Himalaya brands. I use their facial scrubs in turn, they have large peeling particles that cleanse the skin of dead skin cells and flaking. I have heard many positive reviews about sugar and salt scrubs, but have not yet reached them.
About work
I love Cherry magazine, this is a makeup magazine about makeup artists. You can read not only about the master-hevah, but also about successful colleagues. I decided to leave to make-up last year at a law school. At that time, my sister began to take photographs, and I helped her in preparing the models for the shootings, this made me very tired, and I did not hesitate in choosing my future path. Immediately went to vocational training. For example, Ryan Burke and Denis Kartashev inspire me now.
In my opinion, the main function of makeup is to add attractiveness to an external image. Some make-up is aimed at masking imperfections, the other - at correcting certain areas of the face, with a third make-up we supplement our wardrobe, and so on, but all types of make-up affect the positive perception of you by other people. With make-up, we feel more confident and beautiful, and our mood and our actions depend on it.
Every day I do my own nude makeup: I even out the tone of my face, lightly emphasize my cheekbones, eyebrows and paint my eyelashes in one layer. It happens with lipstick, but it is in the mood. In the make-up makeup, I usually focus on the eyes: an arrow, black or colored, and a darkened crease of the eyelid.
How to learn how to make up
The most accessible and free tool for self-study is video blogs. I know several make-up artists who studied on them and became very good masters. But no videos will replace practical work, so if you want to learn how to apply makeup correctly, I advise you to apply for a couple of lessons to a professional makeup artist - this will be useful to anyone.
I often visit cosmetic exhibitions and participate in them, and I believe that they are useful not only for makeup artists, but for all lovers of cosmetics. There are going to the most popular and advanced cosmetic brands, you can learn about new items and buy the most good cosmetics with discounts.
