How did you get your passion for make-up and how did you become a professional make-up artist?
I am a teacher of primary school, and family child psychologist. In my group were 2 boys and 30 girls. What we do at breaks? Of course, wove braids each other! I loved it and it turned out very well - so that one day my friend asked her to prepare for the wedding. I made her a wedding hairstyle, photographed and posted on the Internet. So I began to work with brides.
One of my clients invited me to do hair and make-up at the same time - it was a turning point in my enthusiasm. The idea was inspiring by, and I took a basic course of a makeup.
Brides were my main clients, but now I could create a whole image – both hair and makeup.
After studying at the institute, I continued to develop myself as a makeup artist work a lot. I am inspired by one of the world's leading makeup artists Felix Stein - under his influence, I became more involved in art projects.

What does it mean to you in the context of the beauty of makeup? How do you relate to these concepts?
What does a pretty face mean? By anatomical canons it is primarily must be symmetrical. Make-up - it's just still a little opportunity to adjust features, and this should be approached wisely. Makeup made without considering the individual characteristics of a person, spoils the appearance. I consider pointless and unnecessary any, even the most fashionable and unusual make-up, if it does not fulfill its main function.
For me the ideal base for each day is a well-groomed clean skin, groomed eyelashes and eyebrows neatly decorated. For the girl it is important to look natural, but well maintained.
Make-up - is part of the way, so I do not consider it in isolation from the rest. It is in the form plays an important role and has its particular function.
What would you wish our readers?
I did not fully believe in my victory. And it really sounds like a miracle - I came from a small town, and with the help of Oriflame got an incredible opportunity to grow and develop. I would like to wish everyone a first aspiration. It is necessary not just to dream and believe in yourself, you need to move to that dream and make it a reality best.
