About childhood “beauty memories”
As a child, I always watched with interest how my mother did makeup and styled her hair. She graduated from university, but worked as a model for many years and often took me with her to shows. I practically grew up on the catwalk and started my career quite early - at the age of 6 I took part in my first shoot.
Mom always had a lot of different cosmetics: lipsticks, shadows, multi-colored tubes and jars - all of this looked very tempting and made me want to open, unscrew, look, try.
This is, in fact, what my best friend and I did. Putting on some lipstick and wearing heels that are twice as big as your baby feet is a real treat for little girls!
I remember that my mother always smelled of “her” perfume. It was a special aroma: pleasant, sillage. I recognized him unmistakably. Finding your perfume is very important, although not easy - the same perfume smells differently on different people. It's a matter of your own biochemistry.
Victoria Lopyreva - stages of image formation
As Victoria herself admits, since childhood she has strived to be like her mother. That woman is fit and slender, even despite her age, she looks quite young and good. It was her mother who taught Vika how to be beautiful.
For official public appearances, Victoria, of course, uses active, bright makeup, which many would call evening. The girl is a model and knows perfectly well how and where to get ready and dress up.
In her life there were no sharp periods of changing her image in a radical way. Since childhood, Victoria has been drawn to beauty. And this taught her to carefully take care of herself, choose the optimal diet, etc. It is thanks to proper nutrition, physical activity, and, of course, good genetics that Victoria has what she has. And all those who want to imitate her really want to see what Victoria Lopyreva looks like without Photoshop.
About the complexes
Everyone had complexes in childhood, I won’t believe it if someone answers differently. Some of them migrate into adulthood. I grew up very thin and tall - I was taller than some boys, but this fact did not give rise to any complexes. I had them of a different kind. After my parents’ divorce and the sudden death of my grandmother (before my eyes), and then my grandfather, I was panicky afraid of losing someone else. My childhood world was destroyed - it changed, no longer safe. I wanted to feel protected, I desperately needed expressions of self-love and support. Perhaps I still have this in me.
Beauty secrets of the incredible Victoria Lopyreva (Photo and Video)
showbizdaily
On July 26, the famous Russian model and TV presenter Victoria Lopyreva celebrates her birthday. The winner of the title Miss Russia 2003 joined the world of beauty from early childhood, but she did it with the help of her mother’s cosmetic bag.
Victoria herself admits that at the age of 7 she began experimenting with cosmetics. And this is what we got as a result: beautiful, impeccably groomed and charming Victoria.
Model agency managers started hunting for the girl from an early age, because, no matter what they say, Lopyreva’s natural abilities are excellent. However, despite being in demand in the modeling world, Vika diligently avoided annoying invitations to the world of beauty and fashion. It is difficult to say whether this is due to the experience of the mother as a model, or the stubbornness received as a gift from her grandparents. But Russia will not soon see the young model Victoria.
And then the girl seems to be replaced. The desire to conquer the heights of fashion Olympus will flare up in her with all her passion. The girl’s name fully justified itself: victories scattered like fireworks across the firmament of the beauty’s life. First there was the final of “Elite Model Look - 99”, and next year Lopyreva will become a laureate of the “Super Model of the World - 2000” competition.
“Don Photo Model - 2000”, “Best Model of the South of Russia - 2001”, “Face of the Year - 2001” and “Furor of the Year - 2001” - the victories came one after another. And then Miss “Photo of Russia - 2001”, “Rostov Beauty - 2001”, as well as “Donbass Open - 2002” - titles received by Victoria for a difficult career in the modeling business.
About a modeling career
Imagine, I never wanted to be a model! I absolutely didn't want to. I had no illusions about this. Since childhood, I understood: the podium is work, not romance. When I grew up, my mother started getting calls from modeling agencies, offering to take over my career. When asked if I wanted to, I always answered: “No.”
One day during the summer holidays, having nothing better to do, I nevertheless came to the Elite model look competition, easily passed the casting and just as easily won the audience award. It was not difficult at all, fun, without “crime” - the impressions were the best. After the competition I called it quits for the year. And then, unexpectedly for herself, she won the Don Photo Model competition. It turned out that my mother sent my photographs there.
This is where it all started. At the Golden Lightning fashion festival, chaired by Valentin Yudashkin, I became the best model, receiving an invitation to the city beauty contest. Then there were other competitions, including Miss Russia, which she won.
“Little happiness”: Victoria Lopyreva showed a photo with her one-year-old son from Igor Bulatov
On February 5, 2020, 36-year-old Victoria Lopyreva became a mother for the first time. She gave birth to a son, Marc Lionel, from businessman Igor Bulatov in a Miami clinic in the USA.
Despite the fact that Victoria actively maintains her microblog, which has more than three million followers, she publishes pictures with her child in fairly measured doses, preferring not to advertise her personal life too much. One of her latest posts was an exception and a real gift for fans.

The ambassador of the 2020 FIFA World Cup showed a tender shot with her son. In the photo, Victoria is posing while sitting on a bench and holding a baby in her arms who is drinking from a bottle. Lopyreva, in a light summer dress with a deep neckline and a noble Paisley pattern, looks tenderly at Mark Lionel. In the background you can see palm trees and the embankment - Victoria is in Dubai with her husband and son.
Under the photo, the model wrote a voluminous post-discussion, touching on the topic of Regina Todorenko’s scandalous interview and the public’s violent reaction to it. Victoria noted that for the full development of a child, a lot of factors are necessary, including a healthy atmosphere in the family, without anger and cruelty.

“Cruelty begets cruelty, and when a person was not taught to love, or did not have a healthy model of parental behavior before his eyes, this can lead to negative consequences. Children are like a mirror - they reciprocate, but do not begin to love first. When children are given love, they return it. If they are not given anything, they have nothing to return (spelling and punctuation hereinafter are unchanged: editor’s note),” the TV presenter says on Instagram.
Lopyreva added that she considers it an absolutely empty idea to waste time discussing “unpopular opinions”; instead, she suggests trying to help those who are in trouble. According to the model, now society needs worthy examples more than ever.

“I would like the awards to be given to real heroes - doctors, human rights activists and people who help those who need it. For example, I would present the award to Oksana Pushkina, who is one of the developers of the bill “On the Prevention of Domestic Violence in the Russian Federation” or the team of the organization @sisters.help (Center for Assistance to Survivors of Sexualized Violence “Sisters”: editor’s note), - concluded the star.
Would you support the bill on the prevention of domestic violence?
Yes, sure!

About beauty contests
Preparation for Miss Russia begins 3-4 weeks before the competition. When I took part in it, there was no general sponsor yet. The girls and I lived in “camping” conditions in a country boarding house and it took two hours to get to the rehearsal hall. To say we were tired would be an understatement. But at the same time, no broken glass in shoes or other nonsense that people love to discuss on the Internet.
Yes, there was strong competition, but how could it be otherwise? 70-80 beautiful girls, each of whom believes that she is better than others and worthy of the crown. If the winners were chosen only according to external data, this would be an unsolvable problem. The concept of absolute beauty does not exist - everything is subjective. During the preparation process, the jury carefully evaluates other qualities: communication skills, openness, education, ability to move, smile, ability to communicate with other girls and the press, resistance to stress, and presence of leadership qualities.
Gradually, the number of applicants decreases - it’s as if they are being “sifted” through a sieve. In the final, the jury sees only those who are able to fight for first place. It happens that even a very beautiful girl turns out to be clumsy and vulgar on the podium - this is immediately obvious. The scene is brutal and highlights flaws. Such a beauty certainly cannot claim first place.
Nuances of the personal life of Victoria Lopyreva
Despite her beauty and demand, Victoria has not yet found her happiness. Not long ago she divorced her husband, a football player. And since then she has been alone. The personal life of Victoria Lopyreva, whose photos can be found in various sources - from print media to online publications, has not yet been established. So those who are sure that everything is easy for beautiful girls should not be upset - and the beautiful ones, sometimes, are in search.
About excess weight
I added a little - that's putting it mildly in my case. The extra pounds appeared against the background of a state close to depression. Sounds strange, right? Will explain. After the victory, according to the contract, I was supposed to stay in Moscow for a year. The city was alien and energetically cold for me: no friends, no family nearby - everything remained in my native, cozy, warm Rostov. I was sad. I flew home every weekend to “thaw out” at least a little.
She lived in Moscow in a rented apartment, visited almost nowhere, naively believing that the title of “Miss Russia” obliges her to a “puritanical” lifestyle. Now I understand: all this was the cost of too good home education. Sitting alone on winter evenings, I slowly consumed my sadness with chocolates. And I didn’t even notice how I gained kilos. Now, looking at the photographs of that period, I am amazed at how I could let myself go like that?! Why didn't you pull yourself together? A young man who scattered compliments and said that I was a beauty also played an important role in my weight gain.
About motivation to lose weight and nutrition system
All our problems (including the problem of excess weight) are in our heads. I am 100% convinced of this. Losing weight is not at all difficult if you sincerely want it, overcome laziness and stop living through “Groundhog Day” over and over again. I wanted. And immediately got rid of the extra pounds. Before this I tried all sorts of diets, but in the end I didn’t like any of them. And then I developed my own nutrition system - I’m going to write about it, but I don’t have enough time yet.
I live at a frantic pace: I do a lot on the run, I’m constantly in a hurry - sometimes I forget to eat. This is not entirely correct - not an example to follow. You need to watch your diet! On my own behalf, I can recommend “macrobiotics” - a system that I met many years ago at the Sha Clinic, becoming its first ambassador. The main principle of this diet is moderate consumption of meat.
I don’t eat dairy products, but not because they are “heavy”, but simply because I don’t see any benefit in them. I don't encourage anyone to do the same. As they say, everything that is good for one is bad for another.
Our body is a small “chemical plant” that functions like a clock. You need to learn to listen to him.
If you woke up in the morning with an unbridled desire to eat lemon, most likely you do not have enough vitamin C. Everything that happens to our body is associated with a change in the biochemical composition of the blood - it reacts to this instantly.
There are no universal recipes when it comes to nutrition. You need to regularly take a biochemical blood test and supplement your diet with microelements, vitamins and amino acids.
I have no weakness for fast food - I rarely eat it. My favorite food is Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. For example, raw fish with special sauces.
I love grilled broccoli and cauliflower, but I can’t resist fried potatoes, dumplings or borscht a couple of times a month. It is important to learn not to feel guilty for eating food that does not fit any canon of proper nutrition. Enjoy it, and in return your body will thank you with the release of serotonin and endorphins, giving you a good mood. If you are angry with yourself for eating a chocolate bar, it will definitely be deposited where it is not needed.
Victoria Lopyreva without makeup
There are pictures online that show Victoria Lopyreva without makeup. There are few of them, but they still exist. And, judging by these photos, Victoria, in her natural beauty, looks like the most ordinary girl. It’s even difficult to recognize her as one of the country’s main sex symbols.
However, the fact that Vika is completely ordinary when she is not wearing makeup does not spoil her at all. The girl has excellent skin, without any hint of the appearance of wrinkles, even facial ones. And this despite the fact that Vika often smiles, and quite widely.
And all this because Victoria knows that if you don’t take care of your skin, you won’t be able to look healthy, beautiful and happy. At the same time, her process of self-care is quite simple, and every fan of the model can do it.
Victoria’s ceremonial weekend images can only be repeated on appropriate occasions. And then, you should understand that the best teams of specialists work with the model and create the ideal image. And many people simply cannot do it again.
About criticism on social networks
I don't take criticism at all. Several million people cannot think alike. I don't have to like everyone who comes to see my photos. We need to live our own life - the only one, by the way, and not waste energy and time worrying about the opinion of “woman Katya from the village of Gadyukino.”
I read and heard so much about myself and other public people that I stopped paying attention to it a long time ago - I developed an immunity. Gossip behind your back cannot be eradicated - it is a favorite pastime of “losers”, slackers and scoundrels. Neither the first, nor the second, nor the third deserve attention.

Victoria Lopyreva on the red carpet and in real life
Paparazzi often caught the famous Russian model Victoria Lopyreva in their camera lenses. As a rule, she always looks well-groomed: on the street, on the beach, and in other public places. However, even Lopyreva was sometimes seen without her hair done and in casual clothes.
About the World Cup
I have a long-standing relationship with football. They began in 2008, when she became a co-host of Georgy Cherdantsev in a football program on the NTV channel. I have always admired this game for its entertainment and team spirit, although I understood little about the rules. I had to study.
Over time, I acquired knowledge not only about football, but also the “around football” world. And when I met my ex-husband, Fedr Smolov, I plunged headlong into this topic. Once you let football into your life, you won’t easily forget about it!
In 2020 she became the ambassador of the championship in Russia. In 2020, she signed a contract with FIFA and took part in the around-the-world Trophy Tour together with the Coca Cola company, traveling to an insane number of countries. The last two are China and Japan.
About the daily routine
I go to bed late and get up early - I've been living on this schedule for the last year. I start my morning with a glass of water (now Japanese hydrogen water) and a cup of coffee to wake up. It is difficult to find time for sports when flying constantly. I used to study regularly, now occasionally.
Massage, dancing and swimming save me - it relieves stress and allows me to stay in good shape. After the championship I want to immediately return to training in the gym.
To cope with the crazy pace of life and look good at the same time, I do special innovative procedures at the BEST beauty and health center.
Victoria Lopyreva - photo Twitter
By the way, many claim that she won the competition for the most beautiful girls in the country thanks to operations to change her appearance. The girl tried to dispel the rumors by posting her school photos on Twitter with the caption “I didn’t have plastic surgery.”
The girl confirms the fact of losing weight and convinces that she achieved the desired results on her own. Having lost 10 kg, the presenter shared her technique with subscribers.
“You need to eat often, but little by little. It is better to drink a glass of water in the morning. After 30 minutes, eat an apple. For breakfast - buckwheat porridge. Lunch: soup and salad. For an afternoon snack, a banana or cocoa will help you recharge your energy. And by the evening, Miss Russia 2003 can treat herself to chicken, fish and boiled vegetables. It is important to eliminate the feeling of hunger so that the body does not make reserves during meals and does not adjust to what it eats for the last time,” the star told her secrets of being slim.
About skin care
No matter how tired I am and no matter what time I go to bed, I always thoroughly cleanse my face before going to bed. For me, this is as mandatory as brushing my teeth. If I have make-up, I use micellar water - it makes it easy to remove mascara and foundation.
Then I wash my face with Bliss gel, additionally cleanse and moisturize my skin with a tonic, now, for example, Bobbi Brown (I also love the Cle De Peau Beauty toner, which I bought in Japan). I don’t always use night cream; in the morning I like to apply express masks.
When I have a happy day off and have time to visit my favorite beauty and health center BEST, I completely forget about cosmetics - after the magical hands of a cosmetologist, my skin glows and glows from the inside.
I do not do mesotherapy, biorevitalization, or any other invasive or hardware procedures. I have a low pain threshold - to put it mildly, it is uncomfortable. Of the latest new products tested, I can recommend the procedure from Dr. Thiago Freire using EMK products and endosphere therapy. Incredible result.
About hair care
I take special care of my hair, which was naturally very thick and healthy, but has been exposed to all sorts of harmful influences for many years. A forced measure to maintain. Every day I have to do my hair using a hairdryer and curling iron - this cannot but affect my condition.
I try different products and observe the reaction. Of course, I try to consult with a stylist before each experiment.
I like moisturizing and nourishing oils and masks, preparations with argan oil (for example, Nashi), with black cumin seed oil, which restore damaged hair.
I periodically use ampoules to strengthen the roots. The latest new product I tried was “Smart Impregnation” hair product, developed by stylist Gnel Soghomonyan. In Moscow, the brand is represented only in BEST.
Smart Impregnation has a unique composition! Ingredients include apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, wheat germ oil, and Armenian mulberry oil. They not only protect against aggressive environmental influences, but also take excellent care of hair. The product copes well with the problem of split ends. After use, the hair becomes denser, like after silicone, which, by the way, is not included in the composition.
About travel, SPA and hotels
From my travels I usually bring cosmetics, perfumes, cleansers, hair masks, vitamins and dietary supplements - I really like to find something new.
I fly a lot, often change time zones and work constantly - meetings, interviews, speeches take a lot of energy. At the same time, I can’t afford to look bad. I just can’t imagine what I would do without a SPA - nothing relieves stress and restores inner harmony and outer beauty.
When traveling, I get massages and procedures at the hotel, and when returning to Moscow, the first thing I do is run to my favorite center, which has an excellent SPA area and excellent specialists, as well as special procedures that are not available in other places. For example, I combine a Charcot shower with a Parafango wrap and floating, or a workout on the AquaJogger simulator with a Thai massage.
About your favorite decorative cosmetics
In everyday life, I practically don’t use cosmetics. On free days, I try to give my facial skin a break from makeup, without which not a single social event or shoot is complete. But at the same time, I belong to that category of girls who can spend hours in front of display cases with new beauty products. Many brands send me a large amount of cosmetics to test, for which I thank them very much. My minimum includes: Tom Ford eyebrow pencil and shadow, MAC blush and powder
I am a fairly conservative person, so I kept the size of my makeup bag to a minimum. I have to spend a lot of time traveling - carrying “decorative” suitcases with me is simply inconvenient.
I don't think that the best things should be expensive. Every brand has a product that's right for you. Some brands are strong in decorative cosmetics, others - in care products. Sometimes I accidentally buy an inexpensive product that I don’t part with for many years. This happened with Maybelline mascara - it adds volume, does not stick lashes together and does not dry out for a long time.
How to look 25 at 36: beauty secrets of Victoria Lopyreva
Victoria Lopyreva is one of the most spectacular and discussed girls in Russian show business. But today we decided to talk to the TV presenter and FIFA ambassador not about her recent wedding with Igor Bulatov, and not about the gossip and scandals that have inevitably followed her over the past months. We touched on another topic - the topic of beauty, because in this area Miss Russia 2003 can rightfully be called an expert.
Now Victoria is enjoying a holiday with her husband in the Maldives. Grazia asked the blonde star about what products she took with her on vacation, and also asked her to share her beauty secrets and favorite life hacks.
Grazia: What products do you use on a regular basis - and why specifically?
Victoria Lopyreva: On frequent flights, I’m used to making do with a small amount of money, but at the same time I like it to be effective. Hydration is something I always focus on. The most important thing is to cleanse your skin well. No matter how tired I am, I will never go to bed with makeup on. Foam cleanser, cleansing milk, toner, serum and cream are the basis of my main beauty routine. I really love moisturizing masks and mist facial spray, it especially helps during the flight.
Grazia: What products do you use on vacation, and how do you protect your skin?
V.L.: The best vacation is by the sea, and the air in such places is usually more humid than in a metropolis. This means that less money can be used. As a rule, in my case it is a light moisturizer and, as I said, a moisturizing facial spray. My personal beauty hack is a serum.
Grazia: Aren't you afraid of his skin aging from the sun? How to protect yourself from it?
V.L.: Every time after a vacation, my cosmetologist scolds me very much for the fact that I love to sunbathe so much, but habit is second nature: I’ve been at sea since childhood and, I admit, I don’t always protect myself from ultraviolet radiation, especially my body. But I compensate for this with deep hydration and frequent massages with coconut oil.
Grazia: What's the best way to avoid sunburn?
V.L.: Avoid being in the open sun during the hottest hours and, of course, use good protection.
Grazia: Do you have beauty secrets that few people know about?
V.L.: Meditation! It helps calm your thoughts and relax your facial muscles.
Grazia: What is your favorite beauty ritual?
V.L.: I can’t live without massage - I do it everywhere and always. It helps not only moisturize the skin, but also relieve tension. Even when I was pregnant, I had massages until the last day.
Grazia: Do you have any life hacks on how to quickly make yourself look “fresh” after a sleepless night/party/hard week?
V.L.: The most effective remedy in this case is sleep! There is little that can compare with this recovery method, but if you are still unlucky and do not get enough sleep, then you need to start first of all with your emotional state: go to the mirror - smile, turn on your favorite music and take a contrast shower - this will definitely invigorate . Afterwards, use a body cream with a pleasant smell and make a face mask. Rub your face with ice cubes, alternating with hot towel compresses. Let makeup do the rest!

About career plans
Until the championship is over, I don’t even want to think about it.
I'll take a couple of months off to recover, relax and celebrate my birthday. Lately I have hardly had the opportunity to just sit with friends without rushing anywhere. It is not right. But I’m built in such a way that if I take on something, I give it my all. But in addition to my duties as an ambassador, I also have a serious study - sports management (FIFA program jointly with the Higher School of Economics). Interview: Natalia Kapitsa
Victoria Lopyreva today
Not all friends and fans shared Victoria’s joy regarding the birth of a child. Many criticized the girl for allegedly becoming Bulatov’s separation from his wife. In particular, Olga Buzova and Andrei Malakhov condemned her action.
Igor himself was also condemned. He was accused of betrayal of his wife and called a scoundrel for leaving the family for Lopyreva.
In December 2020, Lopyreva and Bulatov officially legalized their relationship, becoming husband and wife. It is worth noting that only close friends and relatives were present at their wedding.
