Modern makeup, as well as modeling in general, is moving towards naturalness. Leave out the tan, gel polish, false eyelashes and lip fillers for beauty contests that have nothing to do with modeling. Going to the casting in the leading modeling agencies, remember that there is nothing better than natural makeup, which will only emphasize your personality. It is the natural range, cleansing and care cosmetics that should be given more time today, as a makeup artist with 15 years of experience Svetlana Dunaeva (@dunaeva_studio_school) will tell us in more detail.
What kind of makeup is on trend in the winter of 2020-2021?
Nude make-up, only now with an emphasis on blush. The finish on the skin is more matte than glossy. Red lips remain in favor. But of the shades of shadows, in addition to the natural beige range, which is timeless, fifty shades of blue are relevant.
Basic things in the makeup of a girl / model?
As a makeup artist, often working on the preparation of models for fashion shows or photo shoots, say, micellar water or other means for make-up remover. I often come across the fact that, having a limited number of minutes to create a make-up, half the time I have to take off my makeup. This is not difficult, but there is very little time left to create an image, and you have to do everything in a hurry. That is why we ask modeling agencies to always remind girls that you need to come to make-up washed, with clean skin. In my opinion, the three main things in a makeup bag:
* cream-based or emulsion-based blush;
* transparent eyebrow gel;
* mascara.
Models often make flights. What is the best thing to take with you to the cabin?
On the plane, it is very important to moisturize the skin. If you are not shy about the views of others, you can put a hydrogel mask on your face for about thirty minutes during the flight. But I usually manage with a mist based on hyaluronic acid. And be sure to use hand cream.
How to soothe the skin after everyday professional makeup?
Decorative cosmetics should be washed off thoroughly. It is best to do this with hydrophilic oil (we choose it in professional brands). Next, we wipe the face with a soothing tonic for sensitive skin and apply a cream or serum that is suitable for your skin type. A good option is hydrogel masks, in the departments with Korean cosmetics there are many worthy soothing masks.
Names of, in your opinion, interesting makeup artists. What exactly attracts you?
I love American makeup artists very much. For the most part, I follow the people I studied with in New York and Los Angeles. I like loose creatives who work with gloss, create non-banal images, art-make-ups, for example, Moises Ramirez, Richard Burridge. This is serious creativity and a vector for development. Among the commercial makeup artists working for red carpet are Hung Vango and Tyrone Mchausen. Their makeup is always filigree, clean, relevant.
Which model is a nightmare for you?
As for the external data, there were no nightmares exactly. I see beauty and uniqueness in every face. Every girl is interesting, which is why I chose this profession. But there were cases when the behavior of the model interfered with the process of performing makeup. Most often, you want to take away the phone.
