Work experience: “Professional make-up artist since April 2015, up to this moment self-taught.”
What should be in every girl’s cosmetic bag: “Every modern girl should have a cosmetic bag with the help of which she will be able to correct her makeup during the day: a comb; mirror; foundation, BB cream, CC cream (depending on skin type and season); concealer (for the correction of dark circles under the eyes and skin imperfections, I am satisfied with the concealer from Seventeen Ideal Cover, ideal under the eyes, absorbs quickly, persistent, does not roll into wrinkles); compact powder; peach or pale pink blush (suitable for any color type, refresh the complexion and return youth); highlighter is an indispensable tool in every girl’s cosmetic bag (Tony Moly cristal blusher, The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer).
A pencil or eyeliner is also needed; lip balm; favorite lipstick (classic red Nouba Millebaci 07, fashionable this season ruby-wine Nouba Millebaci 46, the Nude color palette continues to be a hit at fashion shows, watermelon red-pink and orange are also in fashion); nailfile; eyebrow pencil or shadow or eyebrow shadow (set for eyebrows Wet Wild, Gosh, Anastasia Beverly Hills for any budget); ink, wet wipes. And, of course, your favorite perfume. For the autumn-winter season, I opted for a selective perfume from Tom Ford, namely Black Orchid from Tom Ford. It has a sillage, sparkles and reveals itself with new colors! “
Helpful advice: “If you have a skin prone to dryness and peeling becomes noticeable when applying makeup, then after applying the powder, spray on your face with thermal water.
To visually make your lips more plump, apply golden powder to the center of the lower lip, and dark powder under the lower lip (to the center), blend the border well.
If you use two shades of foundation in your makeup, the makeup will look more natural. On the bridge of the nose, in the center of the forehead, under the eyes on the chin, a lighter tone; along the hairline, on the cheekbones, the wings of the nose are LITTLE darker, carefully blend the borders.
For a long time, it has been popular for girls to do face contouring. I strongly advise you to quit this venture, leaving it to professional makeup artists and exclusively for red carpets, camera flashes, photo shoots and video filming. The inept use of this technique can disfigure even a princess: twist her nose and cover her face with unnatural shadows that will look like awkward spots. In addition, you run the risk of ruining your skin with thick layers of greasy silicone and wax cosmetics. Lightness, youth and freshness are in fashion! The contouring was replaced by a new technique, strobing. Its essence is to emphasize the merits by using a highlighter. Apply a small amount of highlighter to the bridge of your nose to make it thinner; along the contour of the upper lip above the Cupid’s arch to make the lips larger and more prominent; on the cheekbones, in the center of the forehead, in the inner corners of the eyes and under the eyebrow. “

What should be in every girl’s cosmetic bag: “Micellar water (to prepare the skin for makeup and remove makeup), makeup base, foundation, concealer (to quickly eliminate minor skin imperfections), highlighter and bronzer for correcting the face (or, in other words, applying light-shadow), powder ( for matte skin), blush (preferably creamy, as they help to make the image more natural), base under the shadow (so that the shadows are better applied and last longer), shadows (nude shades), black pencil (to highlight the growth of eyelashes), voluminous black or brown mascara, eyebrow shade, moisturizing lip balm, favorite shade of lipstick or gloss, makeup setting spray. And of course, makeup brushes! “
Helpful advice: “Apply a little highlighter to the areas where the sun’s rays come first: around the inner edge of the eye, under the eyebrow, along the temporal bones. Then with a small beveled brush in three more places: on the bridge of the nose, above the center of the upper lip (the so-called Cupid’s bow), and just below the middle of the lower lip. Blend it as best you can – and a noble natural glow from the inside is guaranteed. “

Work experience: “I have always been interested in make-up, I started professionally in 2015. I am constantly studying and improving my qualifications. She completed individual training at the line POINT school, specializing in “make-up artist”, as well as advanced training at the line POINT school “Fantasy makeup” and Fashion Make up; Dmitry Ryashin’s makeup school; seminar “Colors in make-up”, master class by Irina Rezvanova “Luxurious bride”, master class by Tatyana Petrova and Alexandra Kukushkina “Image in boho / grunge style”.
What should be in every girl’s cosmetic bag: “The most important thing is tone. It evens out the complexion, especially if there are pimples and redness. Protects the skin from the harmful effects of the environment.
Powder or cream powder to set makeup. For home use, it is better to buy loose powder and a brush for application with natural bristles.
Corrector. If you have minor skin problems (you need to mask a pimple or dark circles), then it is better to replace the standard foundation with a corrector.
Blush. Perfect blush for face shaping. They give a natural shadow to the face. The blush will accentuate your cheekbones for a flawless face.
Mascara. Someone likes lengthening, someone creates volume, waterproof ones are suitable for relaxing on the water. Blue and green mascaras are good in summer when you want rich colors and bright colors.
An eyebrow pencil or shadow. The most natural way is to fill in the gaps with a shade that is as close to the hair color as possible, completing the missing hairs on the skin.
Lipstick or lip gloss. Any girl has her favorite shades that emphasize her individuality, fit a certain image. “
Helpful advice: “Strobing is like the brother of contouring, only with a more natural look at the end. This is a make-up technique in which products with reflective particles are used on those areas of the face where light usually falls: the center of the forehead, under the browbone, the area above the cheekbones, the back of the nose, Cupid’s fossa, and the chin. The essence of the strobing technique is that by applying the highlighter to the indicated areas, you return the natural radiance to the skin, which was removed with the help of tonal means. This method is much simpler than contouring, and only one tool is needed for it – a highlighter. Reflective particles of the product will capture light on the convex parts of the face, thereby improving its shape. You can also use a small amount of bronzer on familiar areas, but then you need to shade it well so that there are no boundaries between the highlighter and the contour.
Beautiful lips. Every girl wants to be the most fashionable and have the most beautiful lips in the world. As they say, beauty will save the world, so all men will be only happy when a beauty with luxurious lip makeup is next to him. And here’s my advice. Try one great trick – lip relief and extra volume can be achieved by applying a highlighter in the center above the upper lip and highlighting the contour of the lower one.
Apply the highlighter to the lip contour with a thin line, shading it slightly to give it a natural look. With age, wrinkles appear in the corners of the lips. In order not to make them more visible, the highlighter layer should be minimal. For the upper lip, only a shimmering accent on the contour in the middle will be enough. Do not under any circumstances outline your lips with too light contour. This, on the contrary, will optically reduce them. The tone should be slightly lighter than your skin color.
Anyone can put on makeup and powder, it is important to observe the measure. If you do not know how to correctly apply eyeshadow or blush, watch the video tutorials on the net. Create new images, experiment, surprise your family and friends! “

What should be in every girl’s cosmetic bag: “It’s hard to say, because every woman, girl is individual, and each has its own tasks. Therefore, cosmetic bags are of different types and purposes: home, everyday, evening, work, travel. And their content is also different.

Work experience: “More than 1 year”.
What should be in every girl’s cosmetic bag: “Someone is limited only to mascara and lip balm, while others cannot imagine leaving the house without a good layer of makeup on their face. However, in order to give the face a fresh, rested and well-groomed look, it is not necessary to have an abundance of different and expensive products in the cosmetic bag. To the means for every day, which every girl should have in her cosmetic bag, I would include mascara, any means for giving color and shape to eyebrows, matte or satin brown shadows to add depth and make the eyes more expressive, a delicate shade of lipstick or balm for lips, concealer to conceal imperfections. The list can be continued for a long time, but, perhaps, these are the most basic means. “
Helpful advice: “A thick foundation will lie in the thinnest layer if you first apply a small amount of it between your palms and rub over their entire surface. Then, with light touches, we touch the face and the desired areas. Under the influence of the temperature of the fingers and the thinnest layer on the hand, the tone will lie smoother. This method does not require special tools for application, and it will also be more hygienic for those who forget to wash their brushes and sponges. It will also be very relevant for aging skin, without weighing it down, not getting deep into the pores and not emphasizing wrinkles. “

Work experience: 3 year.
What should be in every girl’s cosmetic bag: “I believe that every girl’s makeup bag should have something to even out her complexion – tonal or CC, BB cream, cream powder or powder. Each one will choose according to her taste. A brightening corrector, because bruises under the eyes have never made anyone more beautiful. Blush to give your face a fresh look. Pencil, eye shadow, lipstick, wax or eyebrow gel, as well-groomed eyebrows are as important as an even complexion. Black or brown eyeliner and, of course, gloss, balm or lipstick. “
Helpful advice: “The right foundation is 50% of your makeup success. If you want your eyelashes to appear thicker, then just fill the space between the eyelashes with black or brown pencil, or blue – if necessary, visually reduce the redness of the eyes.

It is enough just to apply the color to the entire movable eyelid with a brush or even a finger, shading the edges, and then fix it with dry shadows of any color. On the eyelid, dry and creamy eyeshadows will mix and give you a new unique color. The base of the creamy eyeshadows gives a long-lasting result and is very easy to work with. “
