Boho - style in modern fashion

Hello, everyone.
Today I'd like to speak to you about so-called "Boho-style", what is that and where did it come from.
It is considered that a word "boho" came from a word "bohemian", which almost means artistical. So the main point of boho-style is actually an artistic disorder - crumpled cloths, ragged jeans, eclectic mix of factures, prints and colours.

Compact Powder vs. Loose Powder

OK, girls, as i promised let's talk about powder.
In summer many women prefer to use powder instead of foudation- this can be a right desision if it makes your skin feel good. According to it's tiny fractions it lets your skin "breath". But which powder should you choose- loose or compact? Let's see into it.

Russian Photografy

Good evening, everybody!
Today I got to know few exciting facts which I think can seem interesting to you too.
This is about russian school of professional photografy. One of my friends here who is a teacher at our photoschool posted few pics lately. What was special about them? That they were shot in the beginning of the XX century, before the revolution, and they were...COLOURED!

Photografer - S. M. Prokudin - Gorsky
1909 year

There definately could not have been any color pics, none, black&white only. How come? I made a small historical research, killed the guy asking questions and here is what I learned.

Hi again.
As I've found out that many of you are fond of fashion and photografy I've decided to share some of my experience with you. Here is my report from one of our bridal photosets.
Model - Ekaterina Rubcova
Hair and make-up- Valeria Chufeneva
Style and production- ME =)

As a matter of fact, this was a photo-picknick organized by a young, but very talented photografer Akira Katran (Katran Photo Project). Orginizing and production in photoshooting is always a hard job to do, that's why this guy gathers ppl who'd like to get fresh prints for their portfolios- models, make-up artists, photografers- in one beautiful place out of town and there we all start shooting. A huge advantage of such photo-meeting is that you get photos from different photografers at a time. Me and my friend Valery decided to take part'cos we wanted to refesh her portfolio too (she is a make-up artist), so let me report you how it all happened =)

Make-up in summer

Since summer has finally came I'd like to speak to you about summer make-up.

MUA - Valeria Chufeneva
Photografer - Daniil Timofeev

Is it necessary to apply make-up in summertime? Of course, no, but it's desirable if you live in a city. Using foundation can help you to protect your skin from many negative factors, such as dirt, dust and sun. Speaking of which luckily there is no more reason to use a sun blocking lotion before foundation, modern products already contain SPF factors which will protect your skin from harmful UV rays. I've become a fan of korean cosmetics lately and I can strongly recommend you to use Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF25   by Missha in this case. It gives you both perfect coverage, UV- protection and still it really is easy to apply.

Nice to meet you, folks!

Hi everyone.
My name is Mary, I'm from St-Petersburg, Russia.
For more than 6 years I've been working in the industry of beauty, now I work in the field of photografy and fashion as an art-director and I'm here to share my knowlege and experience with you. I've been invited as an expert to many local magazines, beauty contests and web sites and I was deeply surprised to know how little girls actually know about cosmetics, beauty and fashion although the internet is full of it. Many girls adressed to me with troubles they faced in creating their own style or using some cosmetic products and I was really glad to help them. This fact motivated my to open a blog here, to let you know what I know and to find out something new together. Important: I'm not selling or promoting anything! Everything I recommend is based on my own experience and I get no profit from it, my only mission on this planet is to make this world a bit more pretty and doing that can make me happy for sure=)
I'm going to post some FAQs here and want you to send me your requests to make it all more interesting and fun.
Sorry if my English is not good enough but I'm currently working on it.
See you here!
