Last week, the first Sephora store opened in St. Petersburg (we wrote about it here). Makeup artist-ambassador of the Marc Jacobs Beauty brand Hung Vanngo (@hungvanngo) came to the opening. More than a million people follow his Instagram account, and among his regular clients are Selena Gomez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Emily Ratajkowski, Gisele Bündchen, Katy Perry, Karlie Kloss and other world famous girls. BeautyHack editor-in-chief Karina Andreeva (@kandreevaa) talked to the celebrity beauty guru and found out what beauty hacks can create makeup like the stars on the red carpet.
The main secret to perfect makeup is well-prepared skin.
Many people skip this step and don't pay enough attention to it. Before applying makeup, it is important to thoroughly and thoroughly moisturize the skin, including separately working the area around the eyes and lips. If I'm creating a red carpet look, I always make sure to do a scrub and/or mask. I often use both eye cream and patches at the same time. This point especially applies to makeup for aging skin. I am often asked how I manage to “throw off” several years for my clients when creating an image. The secret is the same - in carefully working out the skin before creating the image. Of the primers, I really like Marc Jacobs Coconut Primer based on five types of coconut oil - it perfectly evens out the skin and prepares it for the application of subsequent products. To nourish and moisturize I use Moisturizing Cream from La Mer, for my eyes I use Youth Eye Complex cream from iS Clinical, and my favorite scrub is Polish Scrub from Lancer.

Selena Gomez without makeup
Selena Gomez is an American singer, actress and producer, also known as a goodwill ambassador and philanthropist. Selena has won the hearts of fans around the world not only thanks to her acting and vocal talent, but also her commitment to natural beauty.
Unlike her colleagues in the industry, the girl often appears in public without makeup. Every appearance of Gomez without makeup or publication of a photo on social networks without Photoshop and filters evokes many warm comments. Even without professional makeup, she remains bright, beautiful and desirable.
Fans are captivated by the singer’s pretty face, kind eyes and gentle smile. In pictures without makeup, she looks 5-6 years younger. Expressive dark eyes, natural plump lips and perfect skin make her beautiful and sensual.

The popularity and status of a star obliges her to appear at social events with bright makeup. But fans are attracted to pictures where there is no makeup.
The girl has the right face shape and dark skin tone, so she doesn’t need filters in her photos. And the absence of skin imperfections eliminates the need for daily use of foundation. Dark brown eyes and thick eyelashes make the eyes expressive.
Natural plump lips add tenderness and charm to the look. Spiteful critics criticize the singer’s nose, but she is happy with its shape and does not think about plastic surgery.
On the subject: which of the stars had plastic surgery?
The singer and actress does not hide the fact that she spends a lot of time taking care of herself. Every night before bed, she carefully removes her makeup and applies moisturizer to her face.
Prevents the appearance of redness, rashes and acne with proper nutrition. In food, she prefers eggs, chicken, fruits, vegetables, cheese and herbs.
The girl admits that she does not work out in the gym, but prefers physical activity that brings pleasure: cycling, running, swimming.
Sleep helps keep your skin in good condition. Selena Gomez prefers to sleep at least seven hours a night and drinks more than one glass of water after waking up. During the day, she maintains her water balance with still mineral water.

This winter the main trend is a variety of colors in makeup
People are no longer afraid to experiment with colors. Colored shadows, colored eyeliners - all this has replaced the usual black, gray and brown tones. As for lip makeup, peach shades and various variations of nudes are in fashion, only warmer ones.

Many celebrities I work with know that you can always come to me for a bright look that won't look vulgar. I love playing with flowers.
In any makeup, the most important thing is to preserve the individuality of the model.
Among my favorite legendary makeup artists, I can name Kevin Aucoin and Way Bendy. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to work with them, but I'm inspired by what they created. Kevin and Wei always showed the individual beauty of each girl, and this is the key to successful makeup: the ability to hide imperfections and highlight the protruding parts of each person’s face is very important for a makeup artist.

Selena Gomez makeup: how to do it
Celebrities always keep themselves in shape, because their life is constant performances, flashes, magazine covers. They are always in the spotlight, which obliges them to take care of themselves.
The stars have the best professional makeup artists, stylists, nutritionists, cosmetologists, hairdressers, doctors and other staff. Therefore, it is quite possible to learn a lot from them and gain many ideas for yourself. For example, in makeup. You can try to make yourself the “star” make-up you like. In this article we will tell you how to do Selena Gomez makeup for yourself. This young pop singer has established herself as the owner of good taste and bright appearance.
Selena Gomez Makeup: Skin
Every girl knows that the key to a neat make-up is the perfect complexion. You can't go anywhere without this. Otherwise, the makeup will look vulgar and out of place. Selena's skin always looks flawless. This was partly influenced by her natural characteristics, because the girl has a dark, even face. But, despite this, the singer does not forget about the tonal basis. To make the area around the eyes look fresh, the star uses a special concealer that contains reflective particles. Finish preparing the skin with light powdering.
Selena Gomez Makeup: Contour
The singer has a naturally round face with a sharp chin and a wide upper part. In order to more clearly define the contours of the face, Gomez uses bronzer. This product should be darker than the main tone of the powder. The bronzer is applied to the cheekbones and then to the chin. At the same time, it is necessary to highlight the center of the face. To do this, the star applies a lighter color of powder to the center of the forehead and the back of the nose. As a result, the face loses its excessive roundness.
Selena Gomez makeup: eyes
The singer diligently draws all the attention of others to her eyes. They are the highlight of her appearance. Before you apply Selena Gomez's makeup, you need to tidy up your eyebrows. They are almost not curved on the star and represent two almost straight thick lines. At the same time, the singer slightly emphasizes them with shadows or a pencil of the appropriate tone. Selena's brown eyes are expressive even without makeup, so during the day she can easily allow herself to appear in the light, enhancing their brightness only with the help of mascara. However, in combination with dark shadows, arrows or false eyelashes, the singer’s eyes take on a languid, fatal look.
Selena Gomez makeup: lips
Intensifying the emphasis on the upper part of the face, the star leaves the lower half in a natural look. Selena's lips are most often painted with either a moisturizing balm, a light gloss in flesh tones, or matte lipstick in matching shades. When going out in the evening, the singer can afford to make her lips brighter.
Selena Gomez Makeup: Helpful Tips
There are several subtleties that make up the star's makeup. Selena Gomez always focuses on only one half of her face. If it highlights the eyes, then in this case the lips look neutral. If the singer decides to use brightly colored lipstick, then her eyes remain natural. In addition, Selena is a follower of the classics. She is rarely seen with unusually bright, outrageous makeup. This kind of make-up is acceptable for a singer only on stage or when filming music videos.
The client needs to relax and trust the master
The final result often depends on the psychological aspect. In this regard, I like creating images for Selena Gomez: she is a very easy-to-communicate person and a pleasure to work with. When a makeup artist can feel the client, he is much better able to convey his character through makeup. Working with stars is inspiring, I was lucky to create makeup for outstanding people, and one of my first serious shoots was with the main models of the 90s - Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen and Eva Gertsikova. But my biggest dream remains to work with Angelina Jolie.
