“beauty isn’t makeup”
What can we find in your makeup bag?
I’m afraid my makeup wouldn’t fit in any bag other than
a suitcase, so I store it in a chest of drawers. When I travel,
I usually bring along my Dior BB Cream, Dior Nude compact
powder, some blush, 2 or 3 eyeshadow palettes, L’Oréal
SuperLiner, mascara and 4-5 lipsticks. On a daily basis
I carry along only one lipstick and a compact powder
that mainly serves me as a mirror.
Do you remember your first beauty product?
I had to ask my mother to remind me! Apparently it was
a transparent lip gloss she got me when I was 13.

What is your signature scent?
Miracle from Lancôme.
Nails – nude, bright or au naturel?
Any of the above, depending on my mood and outfit.
Any beauty indulgences you try and make time for?
These days I’ve been experimenting with different natural oils
renowned to improve hair strength, shine and bodyas well
as to stop hair loss. I try to apply them 3 times a week for
45 minutes. It takes months to see results, so I’m trying
to be patient!
What’s the best beauty trick you’ve ever been shown?
Dusting some loose powder under your eyes prior to
applying the eyeshadows allows you to easily brush off
any annoying fallout afterwards.
My beauty philosophy is…
We cannot choose our looks at birth, but we can choose
our style and have fun with our hair and makeup to express
our personality, the way we feel inside, or the way we want
to be seen. Feeling pretty is very important for one’s self
esteem and I hope that my tutorials help spreading beauty
and happiness. But outer beauty is nothing without inner
beauty. Good looks can attract people’s attention, but it’s
one’s personality that matters in a long term. That’s why
I find it very important to find time for self-analysis and selfimprovement. What I value most in people and try to cultivate in myself is a sense of humor, kindness and compassion.
Are there any products you are dying to try?
I think I already have everything I need, I just wish there
would be a hair conditioner that could magically undo
all hair damage and at once add body and volume to
a naturally thin hair like my own.
