Behind Sofia Kashtanova's shoulders there are many bright roles and no less memorable projects. We will delight you that from November 20 there will be another reason to admire the actress: the show of the series "Psychologini" will start on STS. It should be noted that Sonya is internally organic in any way, she easily transforms from a call girl into a professional psychologist. But outwardly Kashtanova, consider, does not change - on the screen she always looks perfect! Therefore, we talked with the actress about her love for cosmetics, important beauty rituals and beauty secrets.
Getting to know cosmetics, Mom's Lancôme lipstick and experiments
The first thing that attracted me to my mom's makeup bag when I was little was her red Lancôme lipstick, which she got with incredible difficulties in her time.
I remember how my mother was busy with something, and I stood behind her against the wall and muttered to myself: "Anointed, and anointed." When she looked back, she saw how I smeared all this precious lipstick on the wall.
By the way, my mother and I have our own ritual. As a child, we often flew on airplanes, and when landing, my mother always began to paint. Therefore, I adopted this habit from her, tried to paint when I was small, at least with hygienic lipstick.
I started to fully use cosmetics early enough. From the age of 14 I was engaged in a modeling agency, where I was sent to learn how to walk beautifully and keep my back straight. In fact, most girls are usually sent there for the same purpose. And there we were also taught to apply makeup. Since that period, I have been directly addicted to cosmetics. I really love to paint!
In general, I prefer to apply the make-up myself, rather than contact makeup artists. But at the same time, I really love it when they do something to me: they smear, paint, massage. Therefore, during the filming, I just trust the professionals. If I don't like something, then I, of course, correct everything myself or ask to change something. In everyday life, I choose a calm makeup with an emphasis on the eyes.
It is common for all of us to condemn some of our past actions, but I have not tried any extreme experiments in makeup. There were super-light lipstick tones in my experience, but then it was fashionable.
I have a mixed skin type and I find myself to be very lucky by nature. However, I still take good care of myself. I like doing various procedures, masks at home on my own more than going to cosmetologists. The most important thing for me is washing my face, no matter how tired I am.
Recently, I have been using cosmetics from the French brand Anne Semonin. Its creator, Anne Semonin, a doctor, was a beautician for Grace Kelly. Therefore, the composition contains exclusively natural ingredients, she even grows algae herself, as far as I know. The cosmetics smell very nice, I like the consistency of the creams. The funds were sent to me just to try, and I fell in love so much that now I buy them for all my friends as a gift.
I don't buy much in the mass market because I love natural cosmetics. Besides Anne Semonin, I will also name Valmont. And I also adore various natural oils, I don't pay attention to the brand.
About a bath with soda, laziness and rare trips to the beauty salon
I love to take a bath and add everything there: salt, oils, make foam. Now I read that it is very good to take a bath with soda, and I found many different recipes, I try them.
I try to use different creams, although I am very lazy. The hardest ritual for me is to smear with cream or lotion after a shower. I go to beauty salons very rarely, although I would like to more often, because it's just nice. If I went to the salon, I would definitely choose a body massage.
About botox for hair, color experiments and filming
I often go to beauty salons to do exactly hair care. The popular Happiness for Hair treatment is not suitable for me, because it makes my rather thin hair heavier. Therefore, I usually choose Botox and Olaplex.
I experimented a lot with hair. At one time they were below the buttocks, very thick. But I cut my hair. First I made a square to the shoulders, and then completely under the boy. And I argued that I was tired of walking with a scythe.
Was blonde, was red, was very dark brown, but all this is not mine. As a result, I returned to my natural color. My hair fades quite easily and quickly in the sun, and I really like it.
During filming, of course, it is my hair that suffers the most. I always, biting my lip, watch how they are wrapped, poured with varnish, and immediately think over what kind of caring masks I will make, how I will return home, what procedures I will sign up for on the weekend.
As a rule, I visit my friends' salon. Recently, a friend of mine opened a Beauty Bistro salon, and I really like it there. Nice, cozy, wonderful atmosphere and great craftsmen. And most importantly, such a pleasant hostess, her attitude towards everyone is simply fabulous. I see from the outside that clients come to the salon and feel at home there.
For over a year I have been in the gym. I used to say that this is not mine and I only love yoga and stretching. But somehow I came to the gym and said: "Give me a coach, urgently!" And she began to give me exercises right away with weights, dumbbells. After class, I was as happy as never before! Since then I have been diligently going to trainings.
But I don't do yoga anymore, but I think I'll be back. I usually did this in Mexico when I lived there. The atmosphere was welcoming. And in Moscow, yoga takes place in the gym, and that's not the same.
Dislike for sweets and burgers
I'm very lucky, I don't like sweets at all. Although there is a possibility that I inspired this to myself. As a child, on the contrary, I adored sweets, pastries, cakes, ate them all the time, and continued at a more conscious age. However, then at one point it stopped. And now I'm sure that I don't like sweets. I can't say that I somehow limit myself to food. If I really want a burger, I'll eat it. But usually I am simply not drawn to all these harmfulness.
About cinnamon, vetiver, "dangerous ties" and men's fragrances
I have a few favorite scents, one of them Ambre Narguilé by Hermes - there is a lot of cinnamon. It is the spicy smells that I like. The note of vetiver is also impressive, for example, as in the Vétiver Tonka perfume, again from Hermes. I also love Dangerous Liaisons - Liaisons Dangereuses, by Kilian. Although the professionals in these matters tell me that Kilian is no longer a selective perfumery, but a mass market.
Among the men's fragrances, I single out the perfumes from YSL. And some selective fragrances. But they usually have very complicated names - I don't remember them.
About biogel and painted nails
I do a manicure every two weeks. And I must say that I am addicted to biogel. I really like that you don't have to bathe with it: you apply a simple varnish on top, which will hold on firmly for two weeks, and you are happy. And if I want, I can easily change the varnish. But, by the way, I don't like painted marigolds.
