Theater and film actress Yanina Melekhova (@yanina_melekhova) told how she cleans her face, how she replaces traditional masks and why she loves Clinique mascara.
Cleanser, toner and serum Сhristina from the Comodex series.
I cleanse my face with the help of the Israeli brand Christina. It is not freely available in stores - it can only be purchased from cosmetologists. In my bathroom "live": cleanser, toner and serum from the Comodex series. The line based on fruit acids has been developed for the care of oily and combination skin prone to breakouts. In the composition you will find biotin, glycolic acid, extracts of medicinal plants and green tea, an extract from arnica flowers and a lot of other useful components. I don't like creams because of the sticky feeling - I replace them with serums.
Instead of professional masks, I use ordinary powdered clay - you can buy it at any pharmacy. It regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands, helps to fight minor rashes and inflammation.
Two-phase makeup remover Biocontura FP-28 Eyes & Make-Up Remover, Egia
The process of removing makeup is a whole ritual for me (especially after theatrical makeup). I love the two-phase liquid from Egia - it perfectly removes even waterproof cosmetics and has a slight tonic effect. Suitable for sensitive skin and very gently cleanses the delicate periorbital area - no tingling, irritation or other unpleasant sensations. The main active ingredient in the composition is cornflower blue water, which relieves puffiness. Additional components: panthenol, bisabolol extract.
Balancing serum for problem skin Biopura Bac-Controle Essence, Egia
This tool is good for dull skin and uneven relief. A transparent serum without a pungent odor and color, it is quickly absorbed and slightly tingles immediately after application. Unpleasant sensations pass after a few seconds and, believe me, they are worth enduring. The serum really works - not only eliminating breakouts, but also moisturizing the skin. It normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, stimulating the local immunity of the skin.
Toning balm for hair Easy С-Gloss, Lisap
I don't dye my hair. I give a beautiful shade with a balm. If I want to make the strands more shiny, I leave it on for 5-7 minutes. When I go to an event or shooting, which requires a deeper color, I hold it for 20-30 minutes. It tints and cares for hair well - after using it, the shine is simply incredible. It is available in twelve shades and withstands up to 10 "bath and bath" hair treatments.
Makeup base Sos Primer, Clarins
Loose tinting agent with barely visible shimmer. It is even produced in a green shade - it copes well with redness. After application to the skin, the color adjusts to the phototype, leveling the tone. Reflective particles are small - can be used for daytime makeup. I have porous skin, so I always use a base. This one is perfect for me.
Mascara High Impact Curling Mascara, Сlinique
Favorite mascara that forms a beautiful curve and perfectly separates each lash. It is moisture resistant (not waterproof, namely moisture resistant) - it will survive both exercises in the gym and a swim in the pool. For an artist, it's generally a win-win. Why? Because you have to cry a lot on stage and on set (laughs). Does not crumble, lengthens well, does not glue - what else is needed? I like to use brown in everyday life, and black at events.
Lipstick Baby Lips, Maybellin
In winter, I hardly ever use lipsticks - there is only Carmex in my cosmetic bag. But in the spring and summer I love the pigment on my lips. For me, there is no lipstick better than Baby Lips. I love it for its natural shade and unobtrusive shine. At the same time, the lipstick is not oily - for me this is important (once it was because of the oily content that I stopped using lip gloss).
Concealer Make Up Forever
A tool proven over the years. Concealer in the form of powder with two shades - universal. Helps to redistribute the shadow on the face, visually adjusting the shape, emphasizing the cheekbones, smoothing the transition from face to neck. Easy to blend, does not give off a reddish undertone and lasts a long time, helping to create a natural make-up.
