Hairstyle

The basis of the hairstyle was a graduated square. To add depth and contrast, the stylists chose a dark brown color for the hair roots, dyed the ends in a warm reddish brown shade and added lighter red highlights. The haircut will allow Anastasia to wear both small curls and light curls. The hairstyle suggested by the stylists gives the image of Anastasia brightness, determination, energy and dynamics.

Makeup

To prevent shine on the face, make-up artists used a base for oily skin. To correct the circles under the eyes, they used a golden concealer. A cold foundation evened out the tone of the face. With a dry corrector, make-up artists darkened the perimeter of the face and emphasized the cheekbones, as well as darkened the widest part of the nose. Gray-brown shadows emphasized the curve and slightly lengthened the eyebrow, which gave the look expressiveness and character. For eye makeup, a palette of brown shades was used. We slightly darkened the movable eyelid and the outer corner of the eye, drew an arrow, making the look more perky. A light pink gloss was applied to the lips in order to visually slightly increase them and emphasize the youth of the model.

In Nastya’s wardrobe, stylists have created a dynamic mix of different styles from minimalism to rock. All sets make up a single wardrobe capsule that will allow you to choose an outfit for any situation: meeting with friends or business negotiations.

The feminine lines of the form-fitting knit dress contrast with the brutality of the leather jacket and boots. This made it possible to create an image in which fragility and elegance are combined with audacity and rebelliousness.

Hairstyle

The red tint of her hair made Vera look older. When dyeing, the stylists chose a noble chocolate-golden color. The haircut – graduated bob with lengthening and asymmetrical bangs – and smooth styling emphasized the feeling of purity, restraint, elegance.

Makeup

Makeup artists evened out the skin tone with a thick foundation, choosing it a little lighter than natural, and added relief to the face by correcting the cheekbones. The eyebrows were given a clearer curved shape – this visually expanded the upper part of the face. The eyes were highlighted with brown-gold shadows, lengthening the outer corners. The lipstick in a natural shade gives the lips extra volume.

For Vera’s new look, stylists have chosen a feminine, elegant and laconic wardrobe in monochrome tones in the style of classic and minimalism. Preference was given to laconic silhouettes with a predominance of rectangular elements and straight lines.
