Childhood and biography of the makeup artist
The make-up fairy was born in 1987 on June 6 in Surgut. Elena does not like to talk about her family and life in the past; at any interview she presents to journalists a list of issues that are prohibited from discussion. It is only known that her desire for adventure and romanticism was passed on to her from her grandfather, who was the captain of the ship.
From early childhood, the girl was interested in her mother's cosmetic bag. The girl treated them very deftly, even at school it was hard not to notice her. She spent her pocket money not on lunch, like all children, but on cherished shadows, lipsticks and mascaras. One of the terrible punishments in childhood for Lena was life without a mirror, her mother took him from her daughter's room for two weeks.
Finding your way
After school, the girl moved to St. Petersburg without the help of her parents. Here she entered the Public Relations Department of the Baltic Academy of Tourism. However, the chosen specialty did not hook Elena, she was always interested in something completely different, and she completed her higher education.
She signed up for a make-up course, but the templates did not suit her here either. Krygina has always differed from others in originality and creativity. Basically, the future Internet star studied on her own, she dreamed of finding her own approach to make-up, revealing the individuality of each woman. At night, Elena sat in an Internet cafe and reviewed photos with images of all eras. As a practice, the girl did makeup to everyone in a row - friends, classmates, just acquaintances.
The talent and tenacity of the novice makeup artist was finally noticed - she was offered in a large cosmetic store to promote a new lipstick from the popular brand Shiseido. Instead of lip makeup, she made clients a full make-up, and satisfied customers dismantled the novelty in no time. For excellent results, the girl was invited to this company for a permanent job. As rewards, she was often presented with cosmetic products, it was they who became the first arsenal of professional cosmetics for working as a make-up artist. And the girl continued to study newfangled makeup trends and thought out ideas for her future looks.
Masters began to be invited to various events taking place in St. Petersburg, she got regular clients, her advice was often printed in fashion magazines. A little later, she opened her own school of makeup artists. Her career took off.
Explosion in popularity
The famous Krygina woke up after her first video on YouTube, filmed out of boredom. At that time, the makeup artist had already moved to the capital. A few days later, she shot a full-fledged video tutorial on choosing the right makeup brushes - and everything started spinning. Each post of the girl gains over 300,000 views, she has hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Most likely, the secret of Elena's frenzied popularity lies in her manner of conveying information - she is light, laid-back and benevolent.
Now Krygina maintains her own beauty blog on her website, as well as on all social networks and on YouTube. In addition to useful tips, you can buy designer souvenirs here. Often, the beauty fairy travels around the country with five-hour master classes "Beauty Day from Elena Krygina".
Despite her profession, Elena Krygina can often be seen without makeup - she believes that it is inappropriate to wear makeup always and everywhere. Moreover, nature has endowed the girl with a model appearance. Lena is a typical owl, she does not like early awakenings, she is most easily given work at night. Interestingly, the makeup artist is categorically against cosmetics for children, she declares that she will never allow her own children to use it.
