≡ Ukrainian Girl Does #100DaysOfMakeup And The Results Are Stunning 》 Her Beauty

Creative
makeup looks are all the rage these days but most of us rarely dare
to actually try our hand at creating a bold makeup look. But this up
and coming Ukrainian makeup artist gave herself a challenge to do
#100daysofmakeup and boy did she deliver. Her looks are bright and
memorable and an example of how you pushing yourself to explore your
hobby and trying something new every day can deliver incredible
results.

Here’s
a little interview we did with the girl behind this creative
Instagram account.

We know you as @blyskitka, but we’re dying to find out more about you. What’s your name? What do you do? Where are you from?

Hey,
my name is Natalia and live in Lviv, Ukraine. I work in software
development and makeup is my creative outlet.

Is
makeup a hobby for you or something you’re pursuing professionally?

To
put it simply, a way to unwind and switch to something completely
different. So far it is my hobby but hopefully, someday it will
become something more.

What
inspires you to create such beautiful makeup looks?

Finding
inspiration can be difficult but I don’t wait for a ‘wow’
moment. I browse through a lot of makeup looks on Instagram, mentally
pinpointing interesting shapes or color combos. I love textures –
wilted flower petals, woven fabric, wood. Sometimes I just look at my
own face in the mirror and think about lines/placement of colors.
It’s a good trick to get yourself thinking outside the box.

What
made you want to do the #100daysofmakeup and how difficult was it to
complete this challenge?

100daysofmakeup
was a bet I made with my friend and I’m really happy about it. It
was a lot easier than I thought, although at times the impostor
syndrome kicked in and I disliked some of the looks I did.

What
kind of makeup looks do you wear day to day? Do you have a standard
everyday look or do you try to do something interesting and unique
every time?

The
way I look every day depends greatly on the amount of time I have in
the morning. If I’m in a hurry, I throw on a simple wash of color
over the lids, a bit of bronzer and nude lipstick. When I have a bit
more time, I do more colorful looks with liner.

What
did you come away with after completing the #100daysofmakeup?

Thanks
to the challenge doing makeup became something of a second nature to
me – I just put on some nice music and do it, letting go of any
anxious thoughts. It’s like therapy. It also made me realize
inspiration is not something that happens on the spot, you just need
to create to actually be creative (ha!).

What
kind of makeup do you prefer using? Any favorites?

I
love doing my eyeshadow and shimmery/glittery textures have always
been my favorite. I really like the way they can reflect or, on the
contrary, trap the light and change your whole look. When it comes to
products, I stopped buying makeup that’s been tested on animals and
am now cruelty-free.

Who
are your favorite makeup artists?

My
favorite makeup artists are Lisa Eldridge (so classy and chic!) and
Jo Baker (a celebrity artist who is very brave in her red carpet
choices). I also follow a lot of talented people, so this list is
very long.

What
does @blyskitka have in store for the future?

I don’t have definite plans for the future when it comes to my art – I just want to grow my audience a little and keep creating 🙂
