We sat down with hair and make-up artist Helena Narra<\/a> to find out what life as a boundary pushing beauty guru is like.<\/p>\n

Tell us about\u00a0how you became a hair and makeup artist and what you are working on at the moment.<\/strong><\/em>
It happened by accident to be honest, and now I have worked in the industry for over ten years. Things are evolving right now, I’m working on my own book, it\u2018s a charity project that involves\u00a0make-up artists from around the world … which is all I can tell you at the moment!\u00a0

You are based in Berlin, what do you like about the city?<\/strong><\/em>
It’s a super young, creative and easy going city.

You travel for work a lot too, what other cities do you love?<\/strong><\/em>
My absolutely favourite is NYC, I lived there for two years. The city that has inspired me the most has to be Tokyo. I have travelled to this amazing place over 10 times now and I am also considering moving there one day in the future. Let’s see!

Your work varies from editorials and fashion shows to campaigns. What is your favourite part of the job?<\/strong> <\/em>
It really depends on the team I am working with! That is\u00a0exactly why I love my job so much, every day is totally different from far- flung locations, to working with new models and a wide variety of aesthetics – that really keeps it interesting.

and the worst?<\/strong><\/em>
Dealing with attitude!<\/p>\n

What unusual tools or tricks you have in your kit? \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
My secret weapon is\u00a0a 3B Faber Castell pencil, but\u00a0I can’t reveal\u00a0what I use it for!

The skin product you couldn\u2019t ever work without?<\/strong><\/em>
Oil spray or generally any oil for the skin.<\/p>\n

What inspires your work?\u00a0Do you pre-plan looks or work more spontaneously on the day of a shoot?<\/strong><\/em>
If I need to, then I’ll pre-plan my looks\u00a0but I’m usually not a big fan of preparing too much –\u00a0as concepts often change and evolve on the shoot day and it’s good to be open to this spontaneity.<\/p>\n

Recently more editorials seem to have become super creative in terms of make-up.<\/strong> What daring beauty look would you suggest that some brave makeup lovers could wear in real life this season<\/strong>?<\/em>
Definitely cream eye shadow. Women are scared to wear it because they always end up with creases in the eyelids – but thats exactly what I love about it! Not everything has to be perfect.

Who are your favourite new faces that you would love to work with?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>
There are so many : Sang Woo Kim, Jess PW, Lorena Maraschi, Connor Newall, Charlee Fraser, Sora Choi, and Anna Cleveland are some models I’m really into at the moment.
