Leading makeup artist Estée Lauder in Russia

“I keep a close eye on the latest products from all brands, but I remain faithful to Estée Lauder. This is not the decision of the makeup artist, this is the decision of a girl who wants to wear the best ink in the world.

Foundation Double Wear, Estée Lauder

The Double Wear glass bottle is my main backstage assistant. The product does not spoil the skin, lasts 24 hours and is easily shaded to a very thin layer. The Double Wear foundation is universal - suitable for every girl, regardless of skin type and color. Now in Russia there are 12 shades available, adapted for our girls - we took this choice very carefully! Even for pale skin, there are several options for you to find "your". The most popular shade is Ecru, there is a delicate Pure Beige and Ivory Nude.

Mascara Sumptuous Infinite, Estée Lauder

I used to be inseparable with Sumptuous Extreme mascara, Estée Lauder. I liked everything: the effect of false eyelashes, volume. Only Infinite could convince me. A brush with a rubberized brush, a combination of short and long bristles - you need to use it correctly! Consider it carefully: out of 12 rows there is one special one for combing - start with it. Walk them along the roots and "pull" them up. Now turn the brush over and paint over the lashes with a “pulling” motion.

Infinite never crumbles or sticks eyelashes (I immediately see the girls who use it).

Concealer Double Wear BB Glow, Estée Lauder

Do not think that a good foundation will cope with all the "shortcomings". Every cosmetic bag must have a "magic" concealer! My favorite is Double Wear BB Glow, Esteé Lauder (from the shimmery golden packaging to the healthy glow that it gives masterfully). Double Wear BB Glow reliably covers wrinkles and bruises under the eyes (even after parties until the morning). A must-have for redness skin - first sweep concealer over problem areas, then apply a thin layer of your favorite foundation.

Why is Double Wear BB Glow Concealer indispensable? A small bottle washes away years and helps to look fresh despite the time - that's all for me!

Mono-shadow Pure Color Envy 26 Amber Intrigue, Estée Lauder

I keep a close eye on other brands, but this versatile color is not produced by any brand other than Estée Lauder. Any makeup lends itself to these shadows! The correct brown can be applied in multiple coats for a bold evening effect, or to complement the pencil line for emphasis. For a light and natural look, blend Pure Color Envy down to a thin layer. Thanks to an expensive formula, these shadows can be "shaded" as much as you like - the texture will remain even.

Serum Advanced Night Repair, Estée Lauder

In a brown jar with a dropper - an indispensable serum, I use it before every make-up. An iconic product from Estée Lauder, she has a whole fan club. It contains hyaluronic acid, which every skin needs (even if you are very young). Under its influence, our cells are not destroyed and are restored all night long. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture like a magnet - the skin's protective barrier is strengthened. I advise you to apply Advanced Night Repair day and night.

The slogan “Estée Lauder can’t help you sleep, but will pretend you’re well rested” is definitely about Advanced Night Repair.
