BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Nino Takaishvili talked with Natalia Vlasova, founder of the Mosmake school of makeup artists and a professional who is trusted with their makeup Natalia Vodianova, Ivanka Trump, Ingeborga Dapkunaite and Sharon Stone.
We met with Natalya at The Garden restaurant: a spectacular blonde in a hot pink jacket and light natural make-up, which I immediately began to ask about. It turned out that Natalya had everything with her - from a small cosmetic bag she took out the means that she uses every day.
Natalia prefers miniatures (take up less space), does not use a dense tone, replaces mascara with a black primer, and loves to accentuate her lips with a pearl-burgundy lipstick Lime Crime.

I don't like to get hooked on something. When I have some kind of "love", I immediately start looking for a replacement. This broadens the horizons and is simply convenient: if your favorite remedy runs out, then there is always a "reserve player" at hand.
CC-cream Pink Perfect Creme Erborian
CC cream is perfect for my skin. I found in the Erborian line a remedy that correctly sets off the color of the skin. The product is slightly dry, does not shine at all, gives a matte finish, beautiful color and an almost invisible coating. True, I cannot recommend it to those who have dry skin - most likely it will not suit you.
BB cream Сreme Nude Erborian
It shines, unlike the previous product, but it does not have to be applied all over the face - I generally like using BB cream under concealer. Or even instead of concealer - sometimes it is not needed at all to mask bruises. This product has reflective particles, so a BB cream will suffice.
Concealer Giorgio Armani Maestro Eraser
Not the thickest concealer, but coverage is enough for me. By the way, one of those rare products for which I cannot find a replacement at all!
Lip Balm Lip Care Soin Levres Him / Her Goirgio Armani
This balm can always be found in my purse. Not sticky, moisturizes lips - even in frost they will not dry out and chapped.
Love Balm Rose Jurlique Lip Balm
I don’t like menthol lip balms, I prefer floral ones. Jurlique is good not only for its moisturizing qualities, but also for its wonderful rose scent.
High Definition Balm
The High Definition brand specializes in eyebrow cosmetics, but the line also has a great lip balm. Versatile, it can be used for anything - even apply to your hands if you forget to grab the cream.
Eyelash Primer Jet Black Volume Blinc
I use black primer instead of mascara. It is not just pigmented, but also with caring components. My eyelashes are quite good, long, they only have enough of this tool. The primer is so harmless that you don't even need to wash it off before bed. Of course, I do not urge you to do this all the time, but unlike ordinary mascara, it will not harm either the skin or the eyelashes.
Eyeliner Blinc
A pencil with a very interesting texture - soft as crayon, but at the same time resistant - it will not be imprinted on the upper eyelid. You can easily shade or make an eyelash contour, but the arrow is unlikely to work.
I love the violet shade - it emphasizes the green color of the eyes, "gets" the desired subtone.
Lime Crime Lipstick in Third Eye
I really like bright lipsticks, but just matte red are already tired. Lime Crime in my makeup bag. I love brands focused on quality that have an idea and a clear concept. Lime Crime is just that. The shade Third Eye is complex, rich, it makes even the simplest everyday makeup interesting.
Hand cream "Vanilla and orange" Grown Alchemist
In winter, you can't do without hand cream, so I always carry it with me. I love this remedy for its wonderful aroma - vanilla and orange cheer up. Even if the skin is severely chapped, the cream will instantly put it in order - in the composition of oil and aloe vera extract.
Sante Neo eye drops
Always in a cosmetic bag Japanese eye drops Sante Neo. They save when you are tired, you need to quickly remove redness and refresh your eyes. They are especially useful at the end of the day - they eliminate the feeling of dryness and “wash out” fine dust.
