Celebrity Makeup Secrets in Istanbul
Red-carpet makeup has to survive hours of lights, cameras and movement. After more than 25 years working with brands, Fashion Weeks and well-known faces, Yury shares the principles behind it.
Preparation Is Most of the Look
On a red carpet, skin preparation takes longer than the colour. A hydrating mask, a primer matched to the skin type and complexion built in thin layers give makeup that lasts a full evening without caking.
Designed for Cameras and Flash
Flash reflects off some SPF formulas and coarse powders, producing a pale cast in photos. Artists test under flash in advance, choose finely milled setting powder and avoid heavy shimmer across the T-zone.
Subtle Contour and Highlight
Cream products blended into the skin and placed where light naturally falls. In person it should read as good bone structure, not as makeup.
Longevity Tricks
Set only where needed, keep blotting papers close, layer lip stain under lip colour and use waterproof mascara on the outer lashes. Small details keep the look fresh from the first photo to the last.
