Hello, ladies! What’s the best beauty tip you ever got?
I’m back again with my (surprisingly!) third article for this month and I am pretty happy for it. As I told u already on instagram, my focus and my biggest passion is my makeup work and also on my writing. I’m planning to end the very busy and warm month of May with an article that was meant to be written long time ago.
Let me introduce you my dear friend, Gabriela Cenusa – lifestyle blogger (you can find her blog here), beautician and writer for THE ONE Magazine. Not only she’s a true believer, trustful friend, beautiful and kind, this young lady is a hard-worker. I hope she will inspire you as much she did for me!

Finding the perfect foundation shade can be a struggle for women of all skin tones. What's your suggestion on finding the best shade and texture ?
GC: I think that the best texture is the one that makes everyone around you notice your features and not the makeup. I have always liked those natural, slightly satin-like textures that give you that touch of glamor but which look extremely natural, at the same time. I do not like the “mask” effect.
Your skin is simply healthy glowing! How to prep skin before makeup?
GC: Before makeup always apply thermal water on the face and then a sunscreen cream, I think it is a simple routine that give the skin a healthy and radiant look.
Removing the makeup at night is a challenge and we wish we could have a magic wand that could perfectly clean our skin. What's the fastest makeup removal routine?
GC: For me there’s no such thing as “quick cleansing ritual”; I admit that I pay great attention when it comes to cleansing no matter how tired I am. Firstly, I wash my face with a cleansing gel based on thermal water, because I have a very sensitive skin, and then I remove my makeup with coconut oil. I let the oil act for 10 minutes, after which I apply the thermal water and clean very well.
Alicia Keys stopped wearing makeup and the world went crazy about that. Do you think more women will find this inspiring and will embrace the #nomakeup look?
GC: I think makeup plays an extremely important role in our lives. Of course I embrace simplicity and the fact that a woman radiates when she succeeds in accepting exactly as she is. Makeup is that little magic trick that can easily make us shine, and it is a shame not to take advantage of it to help us enhance our features. I have a word … give me the right red lipstick and the day is mine!
I know you already tried the permanent makeup for your eyebrows and it looks surprisingly natural. Tell us more about this procedure!
GC: It is a very simple and painless procedure. My eyebrows are not very thick and it doesn’t have a naturally strong pigment, that’s the reason why I have recourse to this small artifice. Since then I have been saving a lot of time! During the days when I don’t want to wear makeup, I only apply BB Cream on my skin and along with this trick my face looks fine!
What's the best beauty tip you ever got?
GC: I always advise people to hydrate well and eat lots of fruits and vegetables, vitamin C helps your skin look simply fantastic. No matter how busy you are, do not forget to moisturize and always have a fruit inside your bag.
While in Bucharest, where do you think there are the best beauty finds and why?
GC: Every time I need something here in Bucharest I go to Marionnaud or Plafar (Natural, Organic Pharmaceutical Store).
Always turning back to natural organic routines. What's your all time favorite handmade product?
GC: I really like to make a homemade mask once a week: coconut oil + banana, then wash my face with rose water or lavender. The results are immediately visible after application, the skin becomes very hydrated and shiny.
Which other women working in beauty industry inspired you?
GC: Regarding beauty industry, you inspired me by your self-taught work and your passion for makeup that is visible in every tutorial you do. It looks like you love the path you’re on and I think we all have to learn that if we follow our passions the results will always be wonderful.
Kylie Jenner plump lips and Cara Delevigne full eyebrows! What's your favorite beauty trend?
GC: I do not think I have a favorite trend, but if I admire a personality for makeup that will be Angelina Jolie or Sara Sampaio, I really like natural makeup with an accentuated detail on a certain feature of the face.
What's your pro advice on concealing skin imperfections?
GC: I admit that I don’t have many imperfections, but when I do, I buy a sulfur soap and the next day the imperfections are clearly blurred. And well, foundation will make them disappear!
Are expensive products always the best choice when it comes to quality, texture and good pigmentation?
GC: I don’t think that expensive is always good too. For example, I use lots of dermato-cosmetics which aren’t overly expensive, but which can help my skin and increase its tolerance. And I do not like products that are tested on animals, I always check.!
It's only fair to share...
