• date of birth - 04/20/1994;
• place of birth - the city of Moscow, Russian Federation;
• zodiac sign - Aries;
• height - 175 centimeters;
• weight - 55 kilograms.

From early childhood, Karina was fond of dancing and singing. Therefore, in primary school, her parents sent her to a music school, to a piano class. In high school, Istomina was seriously carried away by the world art culture and literature. It is worth noting that the girl graduated from secondary school with a gold medal. Then she entered the Moscow School of Economics at the Faculty of Journalism, where she combined her studies with the work of a model.

Fame

The first popularity for the young girl came at the age of 18, when she started working at the world famous modeling agency "Avant Models Management". But, despite the overwhelming success and great popularity, at the age of 22, Kristina Istomina decides to leave the modeling business.

Then the girl promotes her blog on the Internet, and is gaining a record number of subscribers at that time. Simultaneously with blogging, Karina begins to seriously study music, and after six months she is touring all over Russia with her DJ sets.

It was performances on stage and work as a DJ that brought Karina a new wave of popularity. Many of Istomina's sets are played on popular Russian radio stations. Moreover, some of them occupied and kept the first lines in the charts for a long time.

According to Karina, she is not going to end her career with this, and therefore is preparing to enter the prestigious New York University, the faculty of music business. Moreover, Istomina admits that this study abroad is her cherished dream.

Personal life

For quite a long time, the media spread the rumor that Karina Istomina was dating Anton Sevidov, who is ten years older than the girl. For reference, it should be noted that Anton comes from a family of fairly well-known football players, and is currently in the TOP-5 of the most stylish men in the Russian Federation. In addition, Anton is a popular Russian DJ.

In fact, Karina and Oleg met at a large-scale concert program, where they were invited by the organizers of the show to perform. Further, the young couple began a whirlwind romance, and they were even going to get married. It should be noted that for some time Karina was the PR-manager of the Tesla Boy group, which was founded by her boyfriend.

Most recently, the press erupted with many articles that insisted that Karina and Anton Sevidov were breaking up. Moreover, the couple themselves refuse to comment on this topic, and pretend that nothing is happening.

Currently, Istomina lives in Moscow, travels with concerts in Russia, and neighboring countries, and also continues to blog on the Internet.

She quit her modeling career for the sake of music and was right: 111 thousand followers on Instagram and DJ sets across the country are the best confirmation of this. Karina told BeautyHack about how she trains, how she paints up and whom she falls in love with.

About nutrition and sports

I never lost weight on purpose. It annoys me when they write that I exhaust myself with diets, do not eat or drink. It is not true. I just go to the gym 4 times a week, swim, then go to the Finnish bath.

"I come to my mother for cutlets with mashed potatoes, borsch and dumplings."

I have no dietary restrictions, I just try not to eat chips - I love them since childhood. I live alone and I am too lazy to cook: I eat in cafes and restaurants, once a week I go for something Georgian at Khachapuri. When I miss homemade food, I come to my mother for cutlets with mashed potatoes, borscht and dumplings.

I don't work with a coach. I spied on the necessary exercises on Instagram, remembered them and unsubscribed from all fitness accounts. I have been going to World Class Triumph for the third year because of the pleasant contingent: only girls, children and elderly ladies. In other clubs, men constantly pestered me - when I shook my abs with a dirty head for the 30th time. For me, sport is a purely intimate thing.

About beauty

"My eyebrows curl - I feel naked until I put them in order."

It takes me about seven minutes to make up. I do not dye every day, I just comb my brows and style them with MAC Brow Set transparent gel. I always carry it with me. My eyebrows curl - I feel bare until I put them in order. If I'm going to a party, I put on Touche Eclat foundation, Mascara Volume Effet mascara and Color Couture Palette shadows (all - Yves Saint Laurent), Matte M.A.C. lipstick. and Lip Pencil M.A.C., Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer highlighter.

I am not against the mass market, but I do not risk buying it: I have problem skin, if I try something new, acne and oily sheen appear.

For care I use Kiehl’s: masks, Ultra Facial Cleanser gel, alcohol-free toners and herbal lotion for problem skin. After long flights, I'm in the bathroom with Lush bombs.

I go to cleanse my face every two months and inject botox into my armpits so as not to sweat. I do manicure only at Ma & Mi, I get a haircut and dye at Pavel Natsevich's "Grouse". I only trust him with cardinal changes: Pavel made me a square and repainted it in a blonde.

"Usually smoky eyes turn me into a panda."

A psychologist with whom she worked for six months helped Karina survive the gap. Having gone through such a breakup, and having done so much work on herself, Karina Istomina began to help other girls who could not survive the difficult breakup.

Karina's wardrobe is a universal option for every modern girl, whose day is filled with many things, but who does not forget about style.

“To be honest, you can't drag me to the store. I love to walk among the counters in the huge grocery, but I bypass the racks of clothes.

My wardrobe is replenished somehow by itself. Sometimes I borrow T-shirts from my boyfriend, or I accidentally see something in the window, without which, it seems to me, I cannot continue to live, or they give me something.

I love plain and plain T-shirts, T-shirts, jeans, shirts and skirts. The only thing I have a lot is a sneaker. It seems to me that they will soon evict me from the house. And if the program “Homes” still existed on MTV, then the first thing I would say: “Okay, guys, now we're going to watch my sneakers.” But despite this irresponsibility, they often tell me that I'm good I look :)

Popular

To be honest, you can't drag me to the store. I love to walk among the counters in the huge grocery stores, but I pass the racks of clothes.

And in New York, people come up on the streets and say that I, for example, have a cool cape. Although I bought it with my last money in some unknown store, because I was terribly cold. So the high price of a thing is not always a guarantee that it is cool.

I have a basic wardrobe “for all occasions”, but in my everyday rhythm I like it to be always comfortable. If it is winter, then these are turtlenecks, jeans and warm jumpers. If it is a warm season, then dresses, skirts and shirts. And, of course, a pair of shoes and floor-length dresses to cheer up and attract attention.

• My boyfriend's jeans are from a thrift store in Williamsburg.
• Urban Outfitters T-shirt
• Jeans Topshop
• Sneakers Puma (Street Beat)

Versatile items can often guarantee the perfect look for every day. The beauty of this “look” is in its simplicity: basic black skinny will always “make friends” with a T-shirt with the logo of their favorite band and a voluminous old-school denim jacket.

• So easy dress
• Shoes no name

I also adhere to simple combinations as a go-out look: the most laconic dress with a neckline looks spectacular thanks to the rich color, and black pumps enhance the effect.

• YS'Jemma shirt and skirt
• Sneakers Puma (Street Beat)

A simple cut can always be balanced with an ironic detail - I fell in love with this shirt because of the funny horse print.

• Sweatshirt by ASOS
• Aloha Gaia Jewelry
• Jeans Topshop
• Vans (Street Beat)

Total black is a sure-fire option, especially when sneakers or sneakers “enter” the image - so you can go to a concert or play a set in a club.

• Cos shirt
• Pants by Monki
• Tiffany Ring
• Asics Sneakers (Street Beat)

I love masculine looks: they are comfortable and emphasize femininity in contrast, while at the same time giving you a little hooligan mood. I like the pants for their functionality, but I took the shirt from my boyfriend - the perfect white shirt can only be a man's.

• Top and Skirt by Monki
• Vans (Street Beat)

Despite the fact that there is still snow outside the window now, I continue to dream of warmth and summer, when I can wear bright sneakers and a space Monki skirt and walk all night long.

We are launching a new section in which our heroes will talk about one day in their lives. Travelers, models, bloggers, photographers, creative people and just interesting persons will slightly open the curtain of what is hidden behind beautiful pictures in Instagram profiles and show everything that remains behind the scenes. And we start with one of our favorites - Karina Istomina.

It always seemed important to me to tell not only what happened at some point in life, but also to share feelings. Indeed, most often it is they who lead us to some conclusions, desires, goals, and sometimes disappointments.

To be honest, I really don't like being called a model. I mean, I respect my work, but in my life there are still important things for me to do, to which I give the maximum of my energy and time. I write longreads about music, play dj-sets and have been the pr-manager of the indie group Tesla Boy for almost a year. I also graduate from the HSE Faculty of Journalism. I will not hide the fact that most often I am torn between billions of cases and can stop in the middle of the road from realizing how deadly tired I am, but I love what I do. And it gives me endless joy.

So, I'll tell you about how I was in Ibiza to shoot the Etam summer collection in early March.

I flew in a low-cost airline (thanks to the customers for that) with a transfer in Madrid from New York at around 8 pm, and by morning, having arrived on the entertainment island, I went straight to the shooting. I have nothing against low-cost airlines, but there is insanely little space between the seats, so on the fourth hour of the flight my knees hurt, and after drinking melatonin, I spent the entire flight in painful sleep. In addition to the jetlag buzzing in my head, I was already pestered by the classic New York depression, so I was not particularly impressed with the rural beauties of Spain, but the air smelled of the sea and it calmed me.

It was about seven in the morning, I was sitting in a villa, which was in the mountains, far from the clubs and restaurants, whose signs hang the whole city. It was about 15 degrees, but I was anticipating how I would freeze in a beautiful sky-colored pool, which was located on the territory of the site.

The team consisted of 15 people: two photographers, one of them is a famous Italian - Emmanuel Ferrari, two stylists, their assistants, a make-up artist, a client and a personal (!) Chef, but I will return to him a little later.

Also, a fantastic beauty 18-year-old Spaniard Marta Agular worked with me. It seemed to me that she herself did not understand how beautiful she was, but there was something mysterious about her, like all girls who were breathtaking. Or maybe this mystery was in the fact that she spoke little, smoked cigarettes and sat on the phone all the time that we were there.

Everyone was as friendly as possible and glad to bring me a blanket or tea so that I would not freeze, and the only problem was that none of them knew how to clearly express themselves in English.

At that moment I remembered that when I went with my parents to France, they did not speak English everywhere or pretended that they could not. Of course, this did not cause discomfort, but I am a lover of chatting and making everyone laugh, so I had a feeling of dissatisfaction. I just had to smile sweetly.

They say that this is exactly how models need to behave - be silent and smile. But most of them are speechless because they either have nothing to say or they simply do not know the language.

The collection will be cool, some things I would love to wear, and the work was easy and not even very cold.

Having removed some of the bows in the bedrooms and on the terrace of our villa, we went to have dinner in the garden. The cook was handsome. With his huge hands, he turned the lettuce leaves in a large shiny plate, glancing fleetingly at Martha and me.

When I went to lunch, I expected some culinary masterpiece to be performed in front of my eyes, because it smelled fantastically dizzy. Well, I am a master of fantasy, and more often than not, I want to stay in it further. The food was terrible. I'm not whimsical, honestly. But this time I again felt like a five-year-old and as if my mother was again making me eat "something" whose name I don't know. I don’t eat couscous and the spinach soup doesn’t inspire me either, and our cook barbarously mixed bacon into some beans, which upset me a lot. After digging in the plate for about 10 minutes, I quickly ran to the kitchen so that he would not notice and not be offended that I had not eaten anything. Still, children's attitudes govern us all our lives.

We spent the second part of the day by the sea. I want to note that in Ibiza it is a very rich azure blue. You can look at it for hours.

In the beginning, we stopped at a fishing village. There, the entire coast was covered with dried seaweed, so it smelled of iodine.

While Martha smoked a cigarette, I basked in the sun and dozed on my haunches. The work of the model taught me to sleep wherever the opportunity arises. I was bothered by the thought of how homesick I was, how wonderful it was that I was at sea and what should I do next. I want to note that the last question never leaves my head.

I was also nervous. And this already applies to my other work. We were preparing the Tesla Boy concert at the Gogol Center, which thundered on March 20 with an incredible success, which we ourselves did not expect. My job is to be in touch with everyone, control everything and write to everyone, so that they, in turn, write about us. And I was sitting in a fishing village on a Spanish island without the Internet, with a jet lag and 15 more bows in front. Running from Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi, I solved important organizational issues that needed to be dealt with immediately.

In the evening we went to the beach. The sand was already pulling cold, and the sea was icy, but in the bay it was calm and almost windless. It was a great opportunity to finally breathe out a little. While we were taking turns filming, I sat on the shore and listened to music on headphones.

We also drove into the city. If you are an introvert with a predisposition to sociopathy, then Ibiza in early March is the option for you. Tourist cities are very dreary in winter. There were about 10 people in the city and all of them were over 60.

Most of the restaurants were closed, even the apartment shutters were slammed shut. The city has not yet woken up, only workers whitewashed the walls near the medieval fortress.

But that didn't stop me from drinking a jug of white sangria, eating a caesar with apples (another oddity) and taking a walk in the port, because I really love ships.

Well, it was a wonderful pass between life in New York and life in Moscow. I had time to think a little about what happened and what will happen, to work and in general have a great time with myself. Here's a slightly melancholy romantic story about my day.
