My normal day… It depends when and where I wake-up! If I am in Bratislava, I usually wake-up around 7-8. I go to my studio www.salon-angels.eu and I check on my team and start working with my customers.

I do trainings on myself and with new customers. I try to teach them for a perfect nude make-up – usually natural make-up. Sometimes they are more daring and they would like to try smokey eyes or big glam make-up!

One of my super tips for every customer is make-up with 6 products:

• Foundation: Teint Idole
• Tropiques Minerale Bronzer
• Highlighter (usually 002)
• Flash Retouche
• Mascara : Hypnôse Precious Cells
• Lipstick (I love Color Fever 244)

I need 5 minutes for a perfect nude make-up. My secret: I apply Teint Idole just for problematic parts or all over face (it depends on the skin). Then I apply Tropiques Minerale Bronzer under the cheeks, under the side of face and on the side of the nose. It’s a kind of “retouch”. This helps to refine the face. Then I apply highlighter on the top and the front of the cheeks, also a bit around the lips.

I do all of the eye make-up with highlighter and bronzer… without any eyeshadow… then I apply Hypnôse Precious Cells and a touch of lipstick on the lips with fingers. It looks compact and very natural and nobody can see that it is make-up. It’s nude, it’s natural and it takes like 5min!  Women love it. It goes to my heart when I see how happy they are, when it’s simply natural, a perfect nude.

Right now I finished a big project with a Slovak superstar where I was head of make-up artists. It was a great challenge. I can’t tell you! This is make-up heaven! Here I can show all of my potential. Everything I learned in my 14 years career. Here I am using all of my experiences of stage make-up with glitters, fake lashes make-up and everything glamorous.

Every month I have a special 3 days for VIP customers in the Lancôme boutique in Prague. I love it. I show them news and tips and applications which are the same as in my studio. We have lots of fun and all of us love the new and everything from Lancôme.

What I am really looking forward to is photoshooting, because I can use my creativity. In one model are hidden different images and I like to explore them. Right now I am focusing on nude power make-up. Where you can play with shadow and light, it has to look like nothing, but professionals can see the play of all the little details.

Last week I did shootings in Paris. It was a big experience for me, because it was my teenage dream, and now I have reached it. I know if I am patient I will reach all my dreams, and that’s why I am very careful about what am I wishing for.
