Meet LiDav, ARDELL’S Beauty of the week. She is honest, fun, sweet and is sharing her beauty secrets with us!
AR:
Describe your earliest beauty memory.
LI:
My mom always wore blue eyeshadow growing up. So whenever I think of my first time remembering makeup, it's always my mom's blue eyeshadow.
AR:
Who had the biggest beauty influence on you growing up?
LI:
My mom – she was always an example of someone who loved putting on makeup and getting dolled up.
She was always worried I wouldn't be into beauty because I was always hiding under baggy clothes and very tomboyish. Now she can’t get me to stop shopping for beauty and my entire life and career is beauty!
AR:
What is something that you no longer believe about beauty that you once did?
LI:
That you needed to look like a Victoria’s Secret model to be considered beautiful. Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Thanks to social media, we are actually witnessing the actuality of that!
AR:
How do you define beauty today?
LI:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I had to put my own definition on it, beauty is what makes you feel like the best version of you.
AR:
Do you have any favorite beauty practices that you swear by?
LI:
Drinking water! There is no better beauty secret other than water.
AR:
When do you feel most beautiful?
LI:
When my skin is tanned and all I need is my skincare, mascara, and gloss!

AR:
What’s your go-to makeup routine?
LI:
My everyday routine is literally 5 minutes. Tinted moisturizer, concealer, cream bronzer, blush, a little setting powder, mascara and lipstick!
AR:
What is the best beauty tip you’ve ever discovered?
LI:
Skincare is your primer!!!! If your skincare is on point your makeup almost always will be too.
AR:
Do you listen to music when you get ready? If so, who is on your playlist?
LI:
I usually listen to music or motivation talks. Makeup is a form of therapy for me so my music choice has to set me in the right mood (I listen to chill house or a Russian playlist curated by my brother haha).
AR:
What would someone never guess about you?
LI:
I am a complete introvert and that I was actually born in Uzbekistan (It’s a shocker whenever people find out).
AR:
What’s next for you?
LI:
I will continue to inspire the community to use beauty as a tool to enhance their natural selves to feel their best and not to hide behind it through motivational tutorials and possibly a podcast down the line.
