Model's secrets: Eugenia Volodina

Image
One of the new generation of Russian supermodels and my absolute № 1, Eugenia Volodina looks fantastic for a living and here's how... Grooming HAIR : when my hair is wrecked after the shows, Phytologie Phito 7 puts the moisture back in. A hairdresser also recommended Lancome Hair Sensation Nutrition Intense, which is a miracle. I want to grow my hair long, so at the moment I cut it myself so I know how much is coming off! ESSENTIAL PRODUCT: Christian Dior Ultimeyes Mascara PET HATE: Profeccionals always over-pluck my my eyebrows, so I do them myself. I use Tweezerman tweezers. Scincare regime DAILY ROUTINE: Lancome's products are perfect for my sensitive skin. I use Bi-facil Instant Cleanser for eyes, and Hydra Zen moisturiser for day, with Hydra Zen Nuit at night. ENERGENCY PRODUCT: I get really dry lips. Kenzoki Sensuel Sweet and Smooth Duo is an amazing lip scrub and moisturiser. BEST TIP: Never, ever touch your spots. I always leave them and they just go. FACIAL: I ...

Shoot: Satoshi Saikuza

Image
Hymn to body: A girl and the sea. B&W shoot, nude woman, primeval scenery...this is Stoshi Saikuza's work for Japan brand "Shiseido" to pay tribute to it's body line called Body Creator. For this shoot held in Corsica was chosen a prefectly set-up model Louren Denis. "I took real delight in this shoot. Wild beaches of Corsica, rocky coasts and wonderful turquoise sea. I swam and dived luxuriously that sometimes even forgot about the camera. Never though I would discover mermaid's patterns in myself" - says she smiling. scanned and translated by me Russian ELLE June 2006

Talking with a model: Natalia Vodianova

Image
She had a cheap lighter with pink heart which didn't want to flash, it went out each time she tryed to smoke. - I waste your time, sorry - she whispered, making the first small cloud of menthol smoke. -Oh, no! It is even pleasant to me (interviewer said). To whom it won't be pleasant? Blue sea, blue sky, the sun is shining and one of the most demanded topmodel on a planet - Natalia Vodianova - is sitting next to me and smoking. Touching, with this hands, with these a little bit crying-like blue eyes. It was impossible to imagine another girl for the role of Bulgakov's Lolita. She looks like Romie Shny(a)ider , my favourite actress. When I tell this to her she agrees: Yes-yes, very often people compare me to her. It is said that she was a very good actress... Circumstanses and a goal of our interview is prosaic enough...interview on the terrace of Martinez hotel, where these days in Cannes Loreal co. organizes meetings with stars and carries out different adv. actions. - Do...

Fashion magazines and sites assure us of wearing sandals and shoes on high heels and platforms. Style.com says:"No sleek stilettos please. Chunky-heel platforms are a perfect match for spring's no-frills silhouette.!" What can I say, try but be careful and do not fly like poor Stam in those Chloe shoes.

This summer's colour: white

Image
WHITE: Black ruled for winter, but everything has lightened up for summer and you can wear white from top-to-toe once the sun comes out. From full length skirts to sexy cropped pants, slick accessories and plenty of broderie anglais prettiness, it's romantic and edgy and cool - and anything you want it to be. Roll on summer.

Anja Rubik is one of the most popular Polish models and one of my favourites as well...What makes her look so beautiful all the time, how does she take care of what she got from God, what does she have in her bag and other secrets... Anja clues them for us... big thanx to kasi6 (TFS) In my bag I always have... "Embryolisse face cream, protective lip balm Blistex and press powder Lumizing Color Powder from Shiseido." I have an amazing figure... "Because I inherited from my mum great matabolism. But in spite of that I'm careful about things that I eat. I eat often but in small portions. I try to go to the gym regularly, but because of tight calendar my laziness often wins." From makeup artists I've learnt... "That you always have to moisturize your skin before putting any makeup, and then right sequence: first base,foundation, then concealer and a little of powder at you forehead, nose and chin. I've also learnt to use special brush, which is prinkle...
