Last Saturday could be called a real paradise for girls: the famous make-up artist Elena Krygina came to Omsk with a master class.
There were no empty seats in the hall
All day top makeup artist and beauty expert Elena Krygina she told Omsk women about the secrets of beautiful makeup and urged girls not to be lazy, but to get up early in the morning, so that later the whole day would please themselves and those around them with their beautiful and correct makeup. Throughout the master class, Elena not only shared the secrets of beauty, but also clearly showed everything she spoke about and answered all the questions that the Omsk women were so eager to ask.
But at the beginning of the beauty day, Elena told about herself, how it all began. “I went to different makeup courses, but I realized that it was just a waste of time, so I studied at Google. I sat at night, studied all the biographies of makeup artists, downloaded information from different shows and saved it in huge folders. And then I tried. I got my own style. Sometimes everything was achieved by trial and error, I went against some rules. It’s just that someone came up with an algorithm for applying makeup, but I thought, why exactly? I want it differently! And it turned out cool. “
Elena also told about how the beauty blog idea was born, which collects millions of views on the Internet and made it popular throughout the country.
“I had three weekends in a row, I freaked out and sat down in the middle of the night, put on my makeup, as if I was going to some front exit and filmed not even a lesson, but just a video greeting. The next day, I already had 500 shares and 1000 views. First, the reposts were done by my students, and then it went to some kind of word of mouth. Somewhere in the third lesson, I began to realize that celebrities began to upload my videos. And it was very cool! I had the feeling that someone had pressed the red button. It was boom! The next day I woke up as the person responsible for the makeup of the whole country, and I can’t get away from this. My life has changed. “
Despite the fact that Elena is a very popular make-up artist and her clients include such celebrities as Ksenia Sobchak, she claims that she likes working with ordinary people more.
“I paint stars reluctantly, to be honest. This sounds strange to a makeup artist because they all tend to want to work with them. But undoubtedly, there are stars with whom I work and rush to them at full speed, because they charge with energy, you see that they are professionals in their field. I had a period in my life when I actively flew to shoot for various magazines. But working with real people is more interesting, because you see their reactions, some changes that you bring into the life of this person. “
“Makeup is not an art, as many believe. Makeup is a set of skills that you practice on a daily basis.… Daily makeup is exclusively a set of actions that serve to beautify, refresh the face and make it more harmonious. The point of makeup is to hide flaws and emphasize dignity. Makeup is not about tons of paint on your face, not turning into another person. Makeup is you, but only better, ”Elena explained and from these words she moved on to the practical part of the master class.
The master class program consisted of two parts: “Basic makeup” and “Evening makeup”. In the first part, Elena told and showed how to quickly achieve the most even face, paint her eyes symmetrically, how eyebrows affect the whole image and answered the girls’ questions.
First you need to prepare your skin. It is not enough just to moisturize it, you need to remove all unnecessary with the help of peeling. Then the makeup will be much smoother.
A lot of controversy arises around the question: how to choose the right base that evens out the relief of the skin. You really need such a product if you have enlarged pores, very oily skin and a large number of facial wrinkles. Only in this case is it worth purchasing such a tool. BUT you need to select a base individually, because not all bases can be “friends” with your care creams. Therefore, it is better to come to the store with a clean face and apply your foundation directly over the base. There should be a perfect layer between them, like glue.
If it was fashionable before powdered facethen now it is not relevant… To prevent your face from looking heavy, it is better to use loose powder after applying foundation, because it is lighter. And any pressed (compact powder) contains more moisturizers, it has more creamy, velvety effect. Therefore, it can be infinitely layered.
If you have very oily skin, then your best friend – matting wipes… Place them in all your purses so that they are always close at hand. Your task is not to wait until the shine on your face is very noticeable, but to collect sebum until it ruins your makeup.
Necessary whether pause when creating makeup? Necessary. This must be done in order for the makeup to be more permanent. For example, I do this: I apply the base – I go to put on the coffee, I apply the tone – I sat down to check my Instagram. And between the application of the foundation and the powder, time must also pass, because in any foundation there is a lot of moisturizer and it is necessary for all this water to go closer to the skin and be absorbed.
If you are correcting the nose, then correct only its stationary part.… If you have a long nose, then you need to darken the part up to the line of the nostrils. If it is wide, then narrow it. The bridge of the nose should be 6–7 mm wide. But you shouldn’t make it completely thin.
When choosing a brush for your face, take a look so that her villi do not prick… If you ate at least a little bit, you shouldn’t take it. Because it will further irritate your skin. And it is better to choose synthetic fibers for this.
