"My first experience with make up was
when I was 5 and I got my first real lipstick as a gift"
What inspired you to became a make up artist?
The moment that changed my life took place 10 years back when I was invited to a make
up event.
Observing women reaction after applying
their make up, with their feelings blooming out of them was the main drive for me.
After my courses, I start working as a regional make up artist for Clinique
cosmetics. I also worked at weddings and photo shootings in Europe, and have
continued in Dubai since 2005.
Dubai has different environment with
totally different inspiration and cultural elements, that are keeping my interest
in learning new techniques and new cultural needs on a higher level.
"I have been always fascinated with colors and impact of a make up on women's face, mood and entire life"
What is the first
thing that crosses your mind before you apply a make up to your client?
Firstly, I am asking myself, how
I can reveal her beauty and at the same time make her feel comfortable. Secondly, I communicate with my client trying to meet her expectations and propose my opinion.
Final stage is the
actual make up session, which leads to desirable result on the both sides.
Is there
something that women should keep in mind when it comes to skin care?
A good diet, full of vitamins, a daily cleansing
habit followed with moisturizer before
and after sleep to maintain the skin
clean and healthy.
Something that most of us forget, is
SUN protection.It is very essential and helpful for long term
results of the skin.
Do you follow and apply new
trends that are coming out every season?
Every season has it own trends and and
every face its own needs. A balance between those two leads to a good
make up result.
For instance spring is on the way, pink and soft colours will start appearing
in all cosmetic brands, and a light
pink blusher would be a must soon. Although pink is not consider
a clever choice for every skin tone. At this occasion a dark skin with warm undertone needs to use a light orange based tone blusher instead.
Color analysis is the best way how to find out what colors are
the best option for you.
What is your opinion about „Photoshop
illusions“?
A photo shoot result is much
more different from the final result appearing
in a magazine. Most of the magazines are retouching
pictures by removing any visible small defect from the skin to make it smooth and perfect.We should have that in mind
every time we are applying make up for ourselves.
Make
up expert can always reach the magazine results with the
proper products and techniques, but studio with professional lights produce a different environment from
daylight.
As a women
I would not take the magazines pictures as an example of real beauty
and would advice every women not to take it too serious.
"If someone needs ‘‘Look to impress‘‘ then a professional advise from an expert is a clever
solution"
What do you put stress on when it comes to your „entire image“?
I always keep my entire image in a balance focusing on all areas including make up, dress code and correct attitude towards life. I could never imagine myself without make
up, as it is an opportunity for me to demonstrate my work.
