When I was a teenager, I remember I wanted to put so much makeup on - it was just a natural thing over there. Why they do it, I guess, is because historically, there were twice as many women as there were men after the World War II.
Russian women are very friendly with makeup, almost too friendly sometimes.
You cannot leave the house to take the garbage out without full-on makeup and your hair done. You have to fight for your man out there.
I wear fragrance when I feel that just makeup is not enough. I'm not someone who uses it daily, but when I do, I feel so proud that I remembered and almost like I treated myself because I work really hard.
