"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.
