Tamara from Poltava, Ukraine

Hello, I am Tamara. As you may know, it is widely acknowledged that Ukrainian women are considered to be some of the most beautiful women in the world and, while I am lucky to have a pretty face, I think that inner beauty is more important. By profession I am a financier but my hobby is make-up. I have always found make-up interesting and when I was about ten years old, I started applying my first make-up, just for fun, using my mother’s spare cosmetics which was a great experience. |

While make-up might not seem to be as productive a pastime as reading, cooking or gardening, it is a hobby that brings pleasure because it is like painting and playing with colors. Make-up allows me to visually express my personality and mood. |

I think as soon as your hobby becomes your job, it might cease to be fun but nevertheless I dream of being a make-up artist and opening my own beauty salon. Yours, |
