A celebrity makeup artist and stylist spoke about working with the most shocking Russian stars.
Have you ever wondered how the stars behave in the armchair of a stylist or make-up artist? How capricious are they, do they trust their master, is it difficult to work with them? Many people think that in matters of beauty, they are simply unbearable, because appearance is the main thing for them. We decided to find out if it is difficult to be a star makeup artist and stylist, and Tata Dabija happily shared all the secrets with us.
– Celebrities are different, and working with them is not at all easy, but somehow I am lucky with them all the time. Everyone, of course, has their own preferences in the image, make-up. Creative people are sometimes unpredictable, you have to adjust to their mood.
I am often asked if I get fearful when I work with the stars. I have no fear of celebrities, and, in general, I do not believe in what is usually said and written about them. As practice and my experience show, in life they are nice, pleasant and interesting people.
For example, working with Sergei Zverev was very easy, despite the fact that he is a stylist himself and knows exactly what he needs and how he needs it. On television shooting, where I worked with him, he completely trusted me, was as relaxed as possible and even joked.
Olga Buzova surprised me with her sincerity, ease and lack of whims. For Olya, the tonal means was very important, she expressed specific wishes for it. We used exclusively matting textures – this is primarily due to the fact that I was preparing Olga for the broadcast of “House-2”: on television, it is very important that the face does not shine.
Stas Kostyushkin turned out to be the soul of the entire film crew. From the first minutes he joked and danced, which created a playful atmosphere in which it was easy and perky to work.
Rodion Gazmanov turned out to be a modest, intelligent young man, who did not have any special wishes in his hair, but he told how he was “tightly” laid down at his previous performance the day before.
Alena Babenko, on the contrary, at the very beginning of preparing her image for video shooting was taciturn, since she came immediately from a different set, but in the process I managed to win her over and finish the image in a completely different mood.
For a professional, celebrities are no different from ordinary people, nevertheless, it is desirable for each star to have their own individual approach, to feel what they need for a particular image and mood. Usually, artists rarely tell what makeup or hair to do. But sometimes they still express wishes that help make the image perfect.
