The favorite of millions of social media users, Masha Wei boasts perfect selfies. Her skin is always radiant, her hair is beautifully styled, and her eyes are impeccably painted. She does all this herself and tells Wday.ru how to get a hundred, or maybe a thousand, likes on her own photos in no time.
We met with Masha at the presentation of her beauty box for Faberlic – the girl told what kind of products her biggest fans would buy this summer. Wday.ru asked the star about her own selfie secrets.
Don’t bother on the work side
– It is so hard! If I set myself the goal of taking a beautiful selfie, then I take a lot of photos, but the best one will most likely be one of the first. I do them in front of a window in natural light – yellow electric light can “kill” the complexion. If you are outdoors, you can stand against the sun – it will highlight your hair beautifully. You shouldn’t always show your “working side” – sometimes you go to a profile where a girl posts only the left or right side of her face, considering it the most successful – she thinks that she has found “her own thing”. It doesn’t look good, people like variety.
Perfect skin
I love matte skin, I constantly powder myself, although nowadays, on the contrary, shine is in vogue. I do not like oily sheen and remove it in every possible way. For selfies, long eyelashes and bright lipstick are not as important as perfect skin tone. Today I talked about the illuminator – it gives an inner glow, which is perfectly transmitted through the camera. Such products (marked “illumonation cream”) should be mixed with your usual foundation and applied with a sponge or with your hands.
Eyebrows
Now I want to grow my eyebrows even more. Scrub, for example. I like it when they are underlined. I have been looking for my shape for a long time – by nature it is more curved than it is now fashionable. The most chic – thick and almost straight eyebrows.
lips
In beauty, there is currently no trend for a particular color. And if everything is clear with the eyebrows – the thicker the better, then you can take a cool selfie with both a fatal red and a transparent shine. And the most interesting selfies are obtained with lipstick of unusual textures and shades.
What exactly is worth trying?
Beveled brush
I still paint eyebrows and arrows with it – I am convinced that the arrows are more graceful with a brush than if they were drawn with a liner. In my life I use it because it is compact, but if there is an event or a photo session, then just write. With it, the arrows turn out to be unusual and more “elegant”.
rouge
Previously, I did not use blush at all. If she did, then red-haired and scary – now it’s a must-have. The closer they are to the natural shade of blush, the fresher the face. My secret – you can run a stick with blush or a brush along the back and tip of your nose – it will give a summer and rested look.
Lip pencil
My favorite is Dior in shade 593. I always recommend it to everyone – I paint over the entire area of my lips with it, and apply a balm on top. Lipstick can be eaten and smudged, and with a pencil the color will not disappear suddenly, it will come off delicately. There is enough moisture if you carry the balm with you and renew it periodically – your lips will definitely not crack. A big mistake is to draw only an outline with a pencil.
Air humidifier and good moisturizer
I can’t imagine how some people can forget to put cream on their face! I believe that in addition to it, everyone needs to start a humidifier in order to save them from batteries and air conditioners that “suck” moisture from the skin. When I returned to Russia after the Philippines, I realized how dry our air is compared to the tropics. The last one I liked was Givenchy Hydra Sparkling.
