Lisa Chepel, PLAY

The artist’s schedule is busy and unpredictable. Sometimes in one day you need to attend two photo shoots, three interviews, perform at a concert, and in the evening you also need to go to a social event. You need to look stunning, of course. There are no options here! We asked a participant of the Ukrainian pop dance group PLAY Lisa Chepel, how to create the perfect look for a party if you have no more than an hour of time to do everything about it. And here's what she advised us:

Hairstyle

In order to get ready for a party in a short time and at the same time look your best, the first thing you should focus on is your hair. You must have a clear head. Even if you are catastrophically late, fly to the bathroom and wash your hair quickly. Afterwards, pat them dry with a towel and tilt your head down, drying it in this position with a hairdryer. If you have mousse on hand, work up the foam at the roots of your hair and lightly curl the ends with a comb. This way you will have excellent volume!

Makeup

Are you in such a hurry that you don’t have time to paint over every millimeter of the arrow in detail before your eyes? Hurry up, empty out all the contents of your makeup bag, take the products to create a makeup base, and apply the perfect tone to your face. Next, lightly run a black pencil along the inside of the eyelid and apply mascara to the eyes. Fill your eyebrows and you can safely go to the wardrobe, because now we will choose clothes.

Cloth

You urgently need to find something that doesn’t require long ironing and steaming, but this “something” should not only look impressive, but also make you stand out from the crowd. If you have leather leggings in your closet, then opt for them. Otherwise, look for skinny jeans. You can pair them with a beautiful plain blouse or T-shirt, and top it with a classic jacket in bright or neutral shades.

Shoes

No, no sneakers! Even if they are from an exclusive collection of a famous brand. We need pumps. A long heel and a closed toe will perfectly suit our look and make it even more attractive, and you and I, girls, more confident.

Don’t forget to smile at the reflection in the mirror one more time before leaving, and go ahead – delight and bewitch!

Almost every lady has a real Narnia hidden in her bag. Sometimes you can actually find something amazing there: shoes, colored pencils, electrical tape or even a wrench. But what do our star girls keep in their purses? We learned about this from Lisa Chepel from the PLAY Group.

1. Perfume

Every girl should have perfume in her bags. Especially when you live non-stop and you simply must always not only look perfect, but also leave behind a trail of a light, pleasant aroma. It is important for me to choose a universal scent that can be used both in everyday life and at social events, while its bottle should be compact and easily fit in a purse.

2. Headphones

I always have headphones with me. I love listening to music, it inspires me and gives me a positive mood. They are especially indispensable on long trips: you can watch a movie or listen to an audiobook on the road.

3. Lip balm

Our lips always need protection. In summer - from the scorching hot sun, in winter - from frost. Lip balms provide us with hydration and nutrition. Now there is a wide variety of these care products on the cosmetics market: strawberry, banana, peach, bright red and soft pink. You can choose the taste and color that suits you, and at this time your lips will always be under reliable protection.

4. Sunglasses

I can find sunglasses in my bag any time of the year. And it’s not even about the bright sunlight, but about the ubiquitous paparazzi, who strive to take pictures of you at the wrong moment. We all have days when we don't look as flawless as we'd like. Sometimes endless rehearsals and tours make themselves felt in the form of small dark circles under the eyes, and that’s when glasses come to the rescue.

5. Book

Despite my busy schedule, I really like to read. I believe that you need to instill the habit of reading any literature that interests you. You can start with 50 pages a day, and a little later you will notice that you are immersed in the work. That's why I almost always have a book in my bag.

Lisa Chepel and Vasya Klimenko always dreamed of being on stage. The guys studied music from an early age, but they started performing only a year ago. Despite this, their popularity immediately soared, so now we can hear their tracks both on the radio and on music channels. Women's magazine "Prelest" talked to the lead singers of the Play group:

• Guys, your group is only a year old, but your videos are already playing on all TV channels, how did you achieve this?

Vasya: Lisa and I got to know each other through mutual friends. We saw each other several times at general get-togethers, but for some reason we didn’t exchange contacts. But it so happened that we crossed paths by chance in Los Angeles and realized that we wanted to create a group.

• Was it difficult to start your vocal career?

Lisa: It was extremely difficult for us to explain to our parents why we want to become artists. They believed that this was a frivolous profession. Vasya’s father, for example, wanted him to become an economist, but mine thought that I would become a director. But one fine day we came and said that we were creating a vocal group. They were shocked, but accepted our choice in the end.

• Have you ever had any doubts: is it worth studying vocals?

Vasya: No, we never doubted it. We liked music since childhood. Lisa sang and wrote poems, I was also interested in her. But our parents didn’t think that we could later connect our lives with music. And at this time we dreamed of a stage.

Lisa: I remember how I loved watching clips of stars that were shown on TV and always wanted to be on the other side of the screen.

• Do you remember your first performance?

Vasya: Certainly. There was a beauty contest. More than three thousand people gathered in the hall. At first it was incredibly scary to perform, but not even a minute had passed from our appearance on stage before we had literally blown up the hall. The audience clapped for us, and we felt the atmosphere so much that we wanted to sing again and again.

• Are there conflicts in your team?

Vasya: Rarely. Basically, our work together is based on fun and positivity, but nevertheless, we understand that we cannot relax and work hard. And we solve all problems peacefully and together.

• Do you spend a lot of time together outside of work?

Lisa: Yes, we see each other often, we go for walks, go to the cinema and cafes, and we also fly together on vacation. That's why some people think there's more to you than that?

Vasya: Yes, many people think that we have love, but this is not so. We have a strong friendship.

• What does family mean to you?

Lisa: Family is the most important thing for us. But, unfortunately, due to constant rehearsals and concerts, we devote catastrophically little time to it. The second big problem: our parents live with us in different cities. But these rare meetings, when we still manage to get out to them, are the happiest and warmest.

Vasya: And in the future, of course, we also want to create a family in which harmony, mutual understanding and love would reign. But we understand that this is extremely difficult for artists. Due to constant touring, there is practically no time left for personal life.

• How often do you manage to rest? And how do you prefer to do it?

Vasya: Sometimes we get the feeling that we spend all our time on work. Our schedule includes constant rehearsals, filming, working on new tracks, vocal and choreography classes, and sometimes we don’t even have enough time to meet with friends and family. If we have a day off, we rush to visit our parents or have warm evenings in the company of friends.

Lisa: During the year, we don’t often manage to go somewhere to relax, so in January we take a vacation for a whole month and fly abroad.

• Do you like to cook? Share the recipe of your favorite dish with our readers.

Lisa: I really like to cook, but I hardly go home lately. I arrive closer to night, and in the morning there are already things to do. But I still have a recipe for an easy breakfast. I try to eat healthy, so sometimes I start my day with protein.

Delicate cottage cheese with melon is an ideal option for breakfast. The recipe is extremely simple: you need to mix cottage cheese and small pieces of melon in a blender until smooth to get a delicate fruit and curd cream, which will soon become your favorite breakfast.

• Do you have your own signature beauty secrets?

Lisa: I’m lucky - I have fairly clean skin by nature, but still, once every two months I visit a cosmetologist and do light scrubs and nourishing face masks, go through a hardware cleansing procedure to always keep my skin in good condition and use expensive and high-quality cosmetics

In addition, you need to carefully monitor your diet. The more vitamins and minerals you get from foods, the better you look and feel.

• What motto always helps you in difficult situations?

Vasya: You have to believe in yourself and think positively. If you are positive, then everything will be fine. Also make it a rule to treat everything with humor.

• Where do you get your inspiration?

Lisa: We draw inspiration from communicating with interesting people who share their experiences and observations with us. Movies, quality music and nature also motivate.

• What would you wish to the audience of the magazine “Prelest”?

Vasya: Never stand still, develop and listen to your soul, because it is she who knows in which direction you need to move.
