Japan vs China

"I'll start with the fact that I am an absolute fan of the brushes. Moreover, I collect them - you can even open the exhibition. Therefore, when they come to me and something about them is asked, I tell all the "from" and "before." Do you know where the highest quality brushes? Worldwide only Japan Able to do it well. First, they have a mentality: they are workaholics, and if they do something, they do it very well and transmit it from generation to generation.

If you take, for example, the mentality of the Chinese, then it is important for them all quickly. Moreover, they do not have technologies for the proper assembly of a premium pile. And all this certainly affects the brushes: the pile is often climbing, sills, breaks, and just the brush becomes quickly unsuitable. "

"Therefore, the concept of the brush itself is important for me, I would like people to be imbued with the meaning of this word. Such brushes at the expense of the correct assembly and high-quality pile can be able to paint themselves, and you do not need to have any special skills to use them. It sounds incredible, but it is so. "

Synthetic or natural pile - what is better?

"My favorite question. As a makeup artist with 18-year-old experience I answer: now I prefer a natural pile, since the "ideal" synthetics has not yet invented.

I want to note that the animals do not suffer in the manufacture of brushes from a natural pile: they are simply cut, this is a natural process.

However, there is still high-quality synthetics, but it costs the brushes from the protein (and her pile is considered the most expensive vorso - and all because it is more difficult to get it than the fur of the same premium goat). In general, initially, the synthetic pile should have been an alternative to a low-class goat - and with this task he coped. But with the pile premium class, the synthetics can not be compared: first, there are no such technologies, secondly, not the most affordable price. "

"I have long wanted to make a synthetic ruler for my brand, but for several years our Japanese colleagues say that at the moment there is no synthetic pile, which repeats the qualities and properties of a natural pile from the goat. In my opinion, the synthetics absorbs too much product and does not cope with the decisive. The makeup artist, of course, can cope, but the usual user will have to try to achieve a good result.

But, you know, goat goat - Return. It depends on many factors: the quality of the assembly, the class of the pile, attachment, glue and the other. Best quality Again in the Japanese again, they are monopolists in this regard, because the rest of such an expensive pile are not purchased. They (Japanese) work with a class A pile, a + and above, which serve more than seven years, and when proper care - even longer. "

Anna Kartashova founded his brand brushes for makeup AnnBeauty five years ago. Now in the range of stamps - there are already several lines of products, each of which allows girls with any experience of the preparedness to make an ideal decisiveness with one wave. Anna told TrendSpace, as everything turned out.

Brushes - the base of makeup. Do you make your products in Japan?

Yes, our brushes are manufactured in Japan. We make forms and design in Russia.

When did you decide that you need your brushes? It is clear that you could not find perfect brushes for yourself - everyone starts, but why didn't you suit, for example, Hakuhodo and Koyudo, which many work?

My brand appeared absolutely by chance. I am a collector of the brushes, and at the moment I have more than 500 brushes from different brands that I like. Only Hakuhodo's brushes know in Russia, and heard about Koyudo and Chikuhodo. Although, for example, Hakuhodo in Japan is not considered the best brand, but in Russia it is the most famous of Japanese.

Husband decided to make me a gift. He was in Japan and bought me a collective brush. He also met the company's president. With this, our path of the brand of the brushes began.

Why did I decide to make my brushes? Because I started working on poor-quality, prickly brushes. But, I learned about this only when I was put to myself.

Now, during the crisis, the client has become very demanding. Each makeup artist is fighting for the client. And the client will come to the one that will be all the best. White brushes are still good in that they are unpacked, that is, hypoallergenic.

Please tell us about the pricing mechanics.

We do not make a big markup. We are a young brand and we do not have as such "fees for the name" like Tom Ford., Armani and other famous brands. We only have an online store, it allows you to reduce the costs associated with logistics and so on.

We give our customer high quality, and we want to continue to save this level. I have a lot of ideas. I know what I want to do next.

I count on those people who value the quality. For many and 2-3 thousand - already a large amount, but I like that people wink, buy, and then write pleasant reviews.

Your husband got acquainted with the president of the company, you presented a brush, and then how did everything happen?

Everything thought out - design, color, materials and shapes of the handle. Then there was testing of the paint of the logo on the handles. It always takes a lot of time. In total, more than 2 years have passed from the first tests to the first brushes.

How does the process of developing a pile and form for the brush?

In general, this process is quite individual. When you make a makeup artist with extensive experience, then you understand that you need to be called for work. What forms, density and quality of the pile. The rest is technical moments, it is important that the factory understands you and what you want from them in the end. It's already really difficult here.

How did it come out that your brushes appeared at the PET McGrath team?

I became acquainted with Michael Renner, right hand Pat McGrath, presented his brushes, and after that, orders from New York began to come. When I was there at the presentation of the Gold Collection of Makeup Pat, met Michael and met the whole team. At that time they had nine assistants, and most had my brushes.

Do you first make brushes for the client or for professional makeup artists?

I have four line of brushes. Each of them is suitable for personal use and professional makeup artists.

Can you talk about the financial part of your business?

We did everything for money accumulated by me and my husband. At the start, we did not have investors, but as the brand develops and becoming the development, we received various offers.

How do you need to dry your brushes?

About drying. Brushes are dried in a horizontal position on the towel. The towel absorbs all moisture, and the brush will dry in two hours. For cleaning brushes use special oily cleaners.

Did you think about creating a cosmetic ruler?

Of course, but for now I have no sufficient amount of money and time to implement this idea. Everything has its time.

Where to apply blush to get the effect of lifting, and how to apply the bronzer to not get the effect of tanned zebra? The makeup artist Anna Kartashova shares experience.

Anna Cartashova studied at the best: Scott Barnes (works with Jennifer Lopez), Val Garland (former YSL art director), Michael Renner (works in Pat Makgrat), Tyrona Mchausen, Nika Ludjana - you can call ten more names. She has already shared advice with us, like. Now Anya tells several of their favorite make-up receptions, which may be useful to you.

To create a snowy skin effect, Add to any tone or primer a drop of liquid highlyera, and / or bronze. The coating will be easy, leather - shining. The same trick will help girls with combined and oily leather Take a tonal cream with a wet finish. Let's say, bought - got excited. The tool gives the effect of oil pancake. It is a highlight, and instead of a greasy shine, it turns out a beautiful glow.

Consiller, which is usually applied only under the eyes, decide with circular polishing movements with a small fluffy brush almost to the corners of the mouth. In this zone, redness, vessels, extended pores are usually concentrated. Special attention is paid by the zone near the wings of the nose.

You should not follow the rule too strictly: blush - on the cheek apples, the consilet is under the eyes, the bronzer is on the cheekbones. So makeup turns fragmentary. Try to expand the borders and layering the funds to each other: blush - on the consilet, partly - to the bronzer. Highlight - on Blush. All this smoothly goes into the smoke of the shadows at the external corners of the age.

So that the bronzer looks natural, apply it as if they write the letter "s" on the temples, cheekbones and the edge line of the chin.

The main requirement for the bronze: so that it is impossible to put a stain. It should be easily cut and preferably - have a satin finish. Favorite tool Ani - Hourglass.

So that the face looks like a young and rested, decide the blush from the tips of the cheeks upstairs, to the zone of the consileder, and the Wide - towards the temples.As if writing the letter "g". It turns out the lifting of the lower third of the face.

Schematically:

To highlight i looked like a sunny glare, and not a strip that took place from nowhere, apply it to the cheekbones, and along the temples. Imagine that you draw brackets: on the left side of the face - "<«, на правой – «>».

If you have a nose with a hubber or a massive tip - do not apply a highlight on them. Light glossy areas look more voluminous. We grow dry highlights slightly above and below the hubber, and leave it impaired. The advice on the highness of the entire back of the nose is very common and works in cases where this very nose is compact, straight or slightly rolled.

If it seems to you that you do not know how to deal with shadows, try to give up the primer for the age.Most of them cement the pigment so that not to move - whatever the brushes, and from where hands grow. Use cream shadow as the basis.They level the skin color, create a background for makeup and do not interfere with the growing powder textures in the haze. My favorite - Charlotte Tilbury and Tom Ford.

Apply the shadows to all mobile eyelids. Many girls stop without reaching the fold. It makes makeup inexpressive. Pass the arcuate border of the moving century: put your fingers into an orbital bone. All the area, which is located below, boldly fill out with shadows. Type them to the brush, apply along the ciliary edge and in the center, and the residues are growing up, up to the boundary of the rolling age.

In the classic makeup scheme, the focus is put on the outer corners of the eyes. Make a more modern version: highlight the inner corners. It goes almost all - with the exception of girls with closely planted eyes. The chip is to grow the shadow of the inner corner not to the bridge - and upstairs, to the poverty arc. You can use bronze, brown, burgundy shades. But not blue and not green. They can be taken for bruises :)

If you have not yet adapted to paint the lower eyelids (although this visually increases the eyes), use sculptor or drive instead of shadows. They are weakly pigmented, so the flaws are not as noticeable.If you already cope with this, try the challenge more complicated: Load the eyelash of the touch of the shadows that you like, and the sculptor is growing borders.

When makeup is ready, fluffy brush moving movements, pass the face to finalize the color transitions, remove excess and dying shadows.The main thing is without push. I always "read" the skin of models and customers.

In his Instagram Anya shows how to keep and use different types Brushes: Where and what movements to apply sculptor, how to rub the shadows in the fold of the century. Demonstrates, of course, on his own AnnBeauty, but we consider these video guides useful for everyone.

Works Anna Kartashova:

Did you find useful advice?

Earlier wedding make-up It was less professional, since no one really thought about the stability of the makeness. Now it is very important, so we work with an airbrush: he causes the tone so that he holds a day.

If we talk about trends, then wedding makeup is always natural and fresh, with an emphasis on eyelashes and eye contour.

Do I need to use the database of makeup?

Popular

I would say that you do not need, but just necessary. First, at the very beginning we do full care: Face massage, apply masks (usually tissue). My favorite - Skyn \u200b\u200bIceland. They completely remove swelling and wrinkles under the eyes, tighten the oval of faces and neck, so such care for the bride is obligatory. After that, we apply cream, but we look at the skin condition and use either moisturizing or matting. If the girl has wrinkles on the forehead, then I am adhere to special patches for this facial zone.

What should be the skin tone: shining or matte?

Concealer It must be matte, as it holds on the skin longer. If you apply it to a fluffy brush, it does not emphasize wrinkles and pores. Some makeup artists add a liquid highlighter into such a tone and apply this "mix" only on the side parts of the face.

Can there be two accents in the make-up of the bride?

Of course. It can be eyes, and lips, but not in the evening. Much depends on wedding dress And the image as a whole, because if the image is very gentle, it is rather strange to make two accents. When the image is bright, the option of catching makeup is possible, especially this is characteristic of Eastern girls.

What makeup now prefer the bride?

Good, smooth skin, refreshing blush peach-pink shade and glowing cheekbones. Eyelashes that open their eyes and make them more expressive. Pink, bronze and beige shadows, as well as shadows with a purple subtock will make a look more gentle. We also draw the arrow's brides in order to distinguish the shape of the eyes. The final barcode is lips: we emphasize the beige-pink lipsticks.

In general, the makeup should be matte, and the center of the face - it is necessary that these parts are visually increasing. Only cheekbones remain shining - so the face looks fresh.

Do I need to make brides contouring?

Sometimes they do, but not in instagram style, but in a more natural. For this, there are special means that are invisible, but at the same time the contour of the face is beautifully emphasized. For example, the famous Luminous Cheek Color The Blush in Tan's shade from Dolce & Gabbana Make Up.

Where are the blush and what shade are applied?

The shade of Rumyan depends right away from three factors: the bouquet of the bride, dresses and, of course, the skin color. If, for example, the skin is very bright, almost like a sheet of paper, then cooler shades are suitable: grayish-lilac, for example. If the bride is tanned or she has a warmer subton (and the floristry at the wedding is also in this color gamma), then we use a peach pink shade. My favorite is a frosted blush blush blush from Sensai.

What color gamut makeup eyes is now in trend?

In my opinion, there is no concept of fashionable shades for the makeup of the bride. This applies more to the Fashion industry. We select the makeup of the eye of the bride's iris, shades of her bouquet and scenery that will be at the wedding.

If, for example, the blue scenery is used, and makeup is made in yellow shades, then it is probably the final picture will not look very. If, for example, a bouquet and flowers in the pink gamma, then the makeup of the bride will be gentle pinkish shades. If green scenery, then good peach shades.

What is the means to make lips?

I give preference to resistant tintam balsamam, which retain a certain shade on the lips all day. On top, I will definitely nano a thick layer of lipstick that does not dry the lips and keeps at least five hours. Why am I doing this? To see the lips in the frame juicy. Then the makeup of the lips "leaves", and under the layer of lipstick remains Tint. Some brides want to have painted lips all day, I envisage this opportunity and give the bride to lipstick.

From my personal favorites, all the lips will be released: a dense matte lipstick Rouge Pur Couture Slim from YSL Beauty, gloss-tit SEXY GLOSS TINT from Romanovamakeup and Rouge Coco Flash balms from Chanel.

Do I need to use the bride in makeup?

Yes, of course, she fastens the makeup well. I prefer to use the crumbly powder - it is cool "grinding" the skin, hiding pores and wrinkles. And, naturally, I agree with the bride or her girlfriend, so that they have powder or matting napkins in their purse. Because no powder will attack the makeup for 15 hours, but I do the makeup early in the morning.

As for inconspicuous application, it is important to take a fluffy brush and grinding or "perturbing" movements to go through her face. From the pets, there are powders from Sensai and La Mer. Which is a delicate, light glow. It should be borne in mind that the premises, lighting, photographers and videographers are different and not always bright, clear glitter looks beautifully in the frame. We choose very delicate, in the skin of the skin highlight.

The texture is better powdered, because cream can "swim" and shift the makeup during the day. And due to the fact that the bride is often kissing, such a highlight can easily go and looks untidy. I love Pooker Highlights Perfectionist Highlight & Setting Powder Duo from Estée Lauder and Ambient Lighting Palette from Hourglass: They are delicate and give exactly the effect that is needed.

How to interact the makeup artist and bride?

First of all, I ask to show photos of images that like the bride. Then I collect mudboard, and we meet in a cafe for discussion and personal acquaintance. This is important, since the makeup artist should understand, with what problems will have to work (pronounced wrinkles, bruises under the eyes, extended pores or problem skin). When meeting, we discuss subtlety and appoint a rehearsal makeup.

I love working with brides and know that you do not need to pay attention to trends, it is important to take into account the tone of the wedding itself and the individuality of the bride.

Bonya from "House-2" and Anna

Anna Born in the Far East. When she was seven, her family moved to her mother's motherland - in Chernigov. Dad is a former military, Major. Now is a private entrepreneur. From the age of 13, there was a model, participated in shows, visited the covers and in 2005 became the best model of the year in Chernigov. In 19 years began working in companies "Faberlik"He received the position of the director and ranked 4th among 600 directors in Ukraine. He organized his studio where they were taught the basics of makeup. In 2008, I decided to change my life dramatically - moved to Moscow. Now Anne is 25 years old. She is a Moscow makeup artist, a graduate of a professional commercial school in Paris. Works with famous photographers. With its own eyes sees Moscow "Looking". Prepared models to show "Fashion seasons in Ukraine"for pets magazine, Grimied singer Victoria Daineko.

Carpet with stripes. And no diets

When Anna was 4 years old, the carpet lay at home. Striped, she went smoothly on these stripes, represented a svby model. Famous as Claudia Slate. At the age of 13 went to the first Chernihiv model school "Paradise service". But, alas, training turned into a divorce for money. Then it was agency "Anelle". Here Anna and learned to be a model. -

- How did the model affairs related friends, parents?

- Girls envied. Boys were proud. Parents treated as a hobby.
Anna worked in modeling agencies "Anelle"and "L-Models". Her photos were printed in magazines, even on several covers. Participated in contests "Miss Chernigov-1999" (then won Victoria Makienko), "Queen of Flowers". In 2005, became the best model of the year in Chernigov. And whether the girl has tormented himself with diets?
- Never. I do not like dystrophic girls. I was even uncomfortable that I was so thin. And ashamed. When the model business left, immediately recovered. How can you look at dice and talk: "Bay, how beautiful!"?

- What qualities should the model be posted, and what makeup artist?
- The model should be disciplined and silent on the set. But most always trying to insert their five kopecks to the work of the makeup artist. Although they do not understand anything. Therefore, the makeup will need to be persistent and loyal. To say yes-yes-yes and do the way you need.
- We miss model business?
- Not. Did not love him for the castings: you are considered, as a thing, they say "Thank you will call" or "Thank you, stay." Horrible feeling! And on the podium you miss. It was nice to walk, show clothes. I miss the adrenaline behind the scenes: when we could not find shoes, weed did not have the ideas forgotten. I miss the girls-colleagues.

"Teachers- for checkmark. I'm self-taught"

- I always liked the makeup. The push gave classes in the model school "Anelle" - they were taught there how to spread out. Later in the company "Faberlik" and two of my friends organized the Studio "Faber" on training the basics of makeup. But the idea belonged to me. The branches were in Chernivtsi, Kiev, Chernigov and Nezhin. There were no difficulties. The set was performed every month, there are always self-respecting women who want to learn to be beautiful. When she worked in Faberlic, the possibility of learn to make a makeup in serious teachers who are known to the whole of Ukraine.

Anna passed training at the makeup artists: Natasha cook (Ukraine, Grimied Pugachev, Zhirinovsky), Elena Dubrovina (Ukraine, the main makeup artist "Faberlik"), Chiara Fantik (France, Art Director of Nina Richie), at Stylist from New York Fankhouse. But it considers this training rather "checklocks" and "Ponta" for Moscow.

- I can say about myself, I am a self-taught. If I love something very, in this direction and develop. Serious base received from books. Watched the transfer. Beautiful girlfriends at prom. Practiced. And, probably, there must be talent. My mother draws well. It can be seen.

Away from the "Comfort Zone"

— Why in 2008 you moved to Moscow?
- Then I had a moral crisis. Dreamed to develop - I did not know how. I wanted a stormy life. And in Chernigov and Kiev, nothing worn. There is a concept - "Comfort Zone". If you dodged it, then do something too lazy. Or I want, but do not do for a long time. For me, Chernigov was such a "zone". Everything is, but what's next? Besides, I am a woman - I wanted to have such a shoulder on which you can rely on. And just that male shoulder I found. In Odessa. My man gathered in Moscow. And raised the question: "Are you with me?". A month later I came to him. Moscow seemed huge and all-consuming.

It must be brazen, purposeful and mobile. For me it was shock. The month did nothing. The subway was afraid to get lost. And then suddenly there was a huge desire - to be not a small point among a billion people, but to be a noticeable point among this billion. And I decided to engage in makeup for filming. I went to the store and bought cosmetics. I started looking for photographers and work. It was soon that Moscow, not so big. Many of my friends already lived there. And with them it was possible to meet right on the street.

Moscow "Ponte"

— Which of the stars of show business made?
- Group "Studs", "Yin Yang" ("Star Factory-7"), Vika Daineko ("Factory Star-5"), Helavis of group "Mill", Victoria Bonus (from "House-2"). Here, and Moscow, Bonya - Star. I am invited a lot. But I focus on the price, because there is a terrible custom - invite "for free". I do not agree to this. So was invited to paint Tina Kandelaki, Alain Vodonaev, Masha Malinovskaya. Once called painting participants of the new video clip "A-studio". Is free. The clip was to be filmed from 8 am to 12 nights. I laughed. Stars do not want to pay absolutely nothing. Pay magazines and sponsors. Hour of my time costs 100 dollars, but in the upstream of at least 3 hours.

- Are the stars "star disease" sick?
- Most of the models - yes. They are very capricious. Artists - especially. Half of the stars often does not come to the shooting, although an hour before it is promised to be. Then, when they call them, they answer that they are sharply ill. (So \u200b\u200bIrina Dubtsova did). Or long-long do not take the phone. It seems to be on the screen that all simple and calm. And when they calm them half an hour, you understand that the TV is a solid game. I will not stroke the head. I say straight: "Or now I am paint, or you paint." And they have no place to go. With the stars, I communicate on you, often asking what and how they have in life.

— What clothes are stars?
- Love brands and what is fashionable in the season. This is an audience. To me come in simple jeans, blouses and uggs. The hair is tied in the tail or twist in the bundle. No one puts on "in life" studs and gorgeous fur - find stars hard.

— Who are your favorite customers?
- Some model classes and Vika Daineko. Vika is the cutest and uncomplicated: once he painted her in the car, in his hands the wiki had my brushes, lates with shadows, and she did not say anything. The Yin-Yan group is also cute. But they grow. Become demanding. And to yourself, and to the organization of shooting. Some guys are already starting to be brought. Especially Seryozha, black. It was hard to work with Vika Boni. She spoke on the phone all the time, ate chocolate and gave an interview. Communicated a bit down. Furious. In life, she is very vulgar, and when they take an interview - honey. But the impression of working with her is pleasant - after the shooting I thank very much.

— What advice will give skin care girls?
- Girls need to start care of themselves as early as possible. When will be 25, you will understand why. It is necessary to clean the skin, toning and moisturize with cream. Or feed, leather dry. Do not act Ambush, consult with a specialist-cosmetologist, what cream you are more suitable for you. Once a week - a mask. And do not regret money for yourself.

Never, never give up, and then everything will be

— You have two or three shooting day. Does time stay on yourself?
- I will always find time for yourself. In Moscow, there is always something to see. In the near future I want to get to the Museum of History of Chocolate and Cocoa. Inspiration I am looking for in music - in Frank Sinatre. I love movies. If it were not for makeup, would be an actress. Although the profession of architect and designer, too, soul. From five years old taught English. Liked. Even wanted to enter the university in Nurse. But dad did not let. As a result - the diploma of our ChGPU, the Faculty of History, of English language and literature.

Now Anna Kartashova dreams to work in magazines "Vogue", "Officer", "Calizion". The nearest goal is to open the salon. I would like to live on the seashore in Spain and have a network of salons around the world. People visit Antarctica. Small steps are already doing: studies Spanish, going to study the salon case. Anne was lucky, in Moscow she lives near the zoo. Says, in the summer wakes up under the mock of the ducks and the cry of elephants - the feeling appears that they are not at all in the metropolis. But on the quiet green Chernigov with his air still misses. It happens at home every six months. Restores forces. So in this January came with a bunch of gifts for sisters. Anna has three of them. Nice to look like sisters unfold them, rejoice. Nice to be sister.
