You can read about the first three participants of “Miss Yekaterinburg – 2017” here.

Anastasia Kaunova, 18 years old

Height – 175 cm

– The first beauty of the class or the ugly duckling?

– During my studies, I changed about five schools. In each of them I felt confident, but I never considered myself the first beauty, although I once won a school beauty contest. There was always only one problem that I was ashamed of – being tall. I was significantly taller than all children from the very first grade. But now everything is different – I consider high growth to be my dignity.

– What is interesting for you when compared with other participants?

– Of course, I compare myself with other participants in the competition, it’s stupid to hide it. I think that you should always be equal to the best and try not to make mistakes that you notice in others. I got used to analyzing and comparing my pros and cons with others, thereby motivating myself for a result.

– What do you do to look beautiful?

– To keep myself in good shape, I do fitness. While participating in the competition, there is no opportunity to practice in the gym, so I do cardio workouts in the morning, and in the evening after classes I work out the dances that we learn. I have never followed diets, but now I have excluded sweet, flour, fried and fatty foods from the diet. Regarding body and skin care: my maximum is a regular moisturizer for the night and a face toner to keep the morning invigorating.

– What is your favorite look?

– I do not have a specific favorite image, as I prefer to dress in different styles: from classic to avant-garde. This is because I am studying to be a designer and I love to experiment with clothes. Although it can be difficult to combine incongruous things. I never plan in advance what to wear – everything happens impulsively and according to mood. Recently I have been adhering to the casual style. Pictured is my favorite everyday look for walking around town.

Height – 172 cm

– The first beauty of the class or the ugly duckling?

– In the school years of the class, until the 6th I was not as slender as I am now. And I could not even dream of the status of the first beauty of the class. In her address, she could only hear remarks or caustic statements about her appearance. But then she gained a lot in height, lost weight, and everything changed. Voila – now I apply for the title of the first beauty of our city!

– What is interesting for you when compared with other participants?

– Our Miss Yekaterinburg team has a lot of interesting girls with various hobbies, one or two higher educations, etc. But I am young, all this and much more is still ahead of me. And such character traits as dedication, hard work, stress resistance and endurance will help me achieve my goals.

– What do you do to look beautiful?

– There are no special restrictions in nutrition – the number of buns eaten will not add kilograms to me. But I still have to limit myself to sweets, so that it does not affect my skin.

I try to do different moisturizing face masks at least 1-2 times a week, and I also use a facial scrub. For hair I use Shiseido shampoo and conditioner. After washing, I apply oil or a spray for better combing, preferably some for children, they always smell nice and are not very harmful.

– What is your favorite look?

– I, like any girl, love special events for which you need to put on a beautiful floor-length dress, high heels, do a beautiful hairstyle, make-up. In ordinary life, there are so few holiday moments, we are all constantly in a hurry somewhere, and most often we put on what is comfortable.

Anastasia Popova, 22 years old

Height – 175 cm

– The first beauty of the class or the ugly duckling?

– I was definitely not an ugly duckling, but I didn’t consider myself the first beauty of the school either. I remember that I often walked in heels and was very tall compared to my classmates, but I never had any complexes because of this. In high school, she did not wear a school uniform and often had her hair down, for which I was sometimes reprimanded.

And even in the 8th or 9th grade, I decided to keep a personal diary in order to capture events, people and my emotions for a long memory. To this day, I write down my thoughts, which I sometimes re-read. In total, I have about seven filled-in diaries.

– What is interesting for you when compared with other participants?

– We have very worthy girls participating in the competition, but I would not want to compare myself with someone. I consider my distinguishing feature to be the ability to focus on the positive and overshadow the negative.

– What do you do to be beautiful?

– It’s no secret to anyone that the key to a beautiful and healthy body is a combination of physical activity and proper nutrition. For about four years now I have been doing all sorts of loads: strength and cardio training in the gym, walking a bike, swimming, stretching exercises. I also walk a lot and do morning exercises.

In nutrition, I adhere to my own rules: eat from small plates and small appliances, carbohydrates – in the morning, and in the evening – proteins or vegetables, a minimum of sweets.

As for hair and skin care, in my opinion, genetics decides a lot here. With the help of cosmetics, we can, of course, improve what nature has given us. But it’s more important to feed yourself from within. Here vitamins, healthy fats and water intake in large quantities help me.

– What is your favorite look?

– I don’t like the abundance of details and bright prints in my looks, I don’t wear accessories. I prefer simplicity and brevity.

Height – 173 cm

– The first beauty of the class or the ugly duckling?

– At school, I tried to be ahead of everyone: I participated in all school events and concerts, graduated from art school, went in for sports ballroom dancing and put on dance numbers. She was engaged in school creative teams, played in the team “What? Where? When? ”, Took guitar lessons. It was necessary to be the best not only in social activities, but also externally. Probably because of this, girls disliked me, and communication was much easier with boys.

When I was in the 10th grade, there was a Miss Gymnasium competition at the school. Nobody got this title. As they say, friendship won, but I was recognized as “Miss Audience Choice”, which many called a real victory.

– What is interesting for you when compared with other participants?

– I do not like to compare myself with someone. I can be interested in the breadth of my hobbies.

– What do you do to be beautiful?

– Every girl dreams of waking up beautiful in the morning, without making any efforts for this, I am no exception. However, nothing is that simple. I move a lot: I dance, I visit the fitness center three times a week and the swimming pool twice a week, sometimes I arrange evening runs in the city parks. Sports alone, of course, is not enough, you also need a balanced diet. Fortunately, I am indifferent to sweets.

At the end of the day, I thoroughly cleanse my face and apply a moisturizer. I have known makeup since childhood, because the stage and performances at competitions require it. On weekdays, I do myself a minimal make-up: I tidy up my eyebrows and tint the eyelashes. A mandatory procedure for me is a manicure.

But most of all I love to take care of my hair. I am naturally blonde. To keep my hair long and healthy, once a week I apply burdock oil along the entire length, caring ampoules on the hair roots, after each shampooing I use a mask and hair oil. I try not to blow-dry my hair or use a curling iron or iron. But if necessary, be sure to apply a thermal spray.

– What is your favorite look?

– As for the selection of clothes, in life I love the sporty style. You can see this in the photo: a warm woolen suit, a comfortable jacket and shoes. However, for special occasions, I think carefully about the look. Unfortunately, in stores it is rare to find what I want. Also, I like everything to fit perfectly, and this can only be achieved by custom-tailoring. Therefore, I often sew myself or go to the atelier.

Height – 171 cm

– The first beauty of the class or the ugly duckling?

– I was popular at school. The girls-classmates were offended that many boys were friends with me, but did not pay attention to them. Although in my school years I did not consider myself a beauty, because I was very thin, small. On physical education was the penultimate in height. And, in principle, she did not claim the title of the beauty of the class.

– What is interesting for you when compared with other participants?

– I am distinguished by a special sense of style and attitude to beauty. I am a hair stylist and I 100% share the opinion that “a new hairstyle can change a girl’s life.” I see how the look in the mirror of girls changes when you transform them with makeup and hairstyles – they fall in love with themselves again.

– What do you do to be beautiful?

– I go to the gym. I work out with a trainer three times a week, after training I have to have a pool. Since I am a terrible sweet tooth, I do not regret myself in training and work out every candy.

– What is your favorite look?

– I created my favorite look by combining comfort and fashionable color of this season – fuchsia. I really love shorts and T-shirts because they look feminine and comfortable in them. Having put on sneakers, you can go for a walk in this manner during the day, and in the evening, changing sneakers for heels and putting on a bright elongated jacket, you can go to a restaurant to meet with your friends.
