Mothers & daughters
Karolin Galestian 24 and Mehri Kabiri 46 The two of them also combine good looks at work: mother and daughter run the "Beauty Oasis", a small beauty institute in the fine Harvestehude district of Hamburg. In Tehran, where mother Mehri Kabiri grew up, beauty has a very high priority: "But in Persia, cosmetics does not mean luxury, as in Germany, it belongs to the understanding of cleanliness," says Mehri. She also gave this attitude to her daughter: Always well-groomed, using high-quality skin creams, even prepared to go for a walk with the family dog - the daughter accepts mother's top beauty requirement. From childhood on. Stress because of that? Did not give it. Because she is convinced. "The skin," says Karolin gently, "is our most beautiful dress." A sentence like 1001 nights. Almost as mysterious appears the traditional beauty ritual of the two - Karolin has it from mother Mehri and that of her mother. "It's called threading," explains Karolin. "To remove the hairs, over the upper lip and on the brows." With a fine thread, a tiny loop is placed around every single hair, which is then plucked out. Mother and daughter form each other's brows in this way. Incidentally, Karolin is more adventurous in her eye make-up than her mother. She likes to use lipstick to signal, for example in raspberry red. Mehri Kabiri's credo: "You can look tired, but never boring." Karolin regularly uses "ooh la lift" by Benefit. The highlighter fluid leaves the complexion and, dabbed under the eyebrows, the eyes light up. Mehri's favorite lip color is raspberry red: "Viva Glam" from Mac.
"My beauty tip? Abolish bathroom scale!" "Because of fire alarms ... So," says Josephine, "that's really no problem for me, after all, we're four red-haired students in class." The daughter has the same red hair and snub nose as her mother. And she could never complain. Pamela Raulfs has lived very well for quite a while. For more than ten years she worked as a model for a renowned international agency. Pamela's beauty favorites since: apricot rouge, dark brown mascara, beige gloss and in winter a slightly matting primer. Her principle, which she developed only after the model years and which, as she finds, really happy and therefore makes beautiful: "Good, vitamin-rich food and no personal scales in the house to have." The common dinner at Raulfs is therefore a real family ritual. Another, only between mother and daughter, is spending hours in bed cuddling and chatting on the weekend. For example, if Josephine tells her mother that she will be playing the bass guitar in the band next to the saxophone, and that she really does not care what Paris Hilton wears, then Pamela feels reassured: "Fini has a really solid Personality and does not go for externals. " This also applies to Josephine herself, she only uses some powder, never mascara. The simple reason: "Because I do not feel like abschinken me again." Josephine uses Aok matting compact powder; Favorite product of Pamela: beige beige lip gloss - "Mocha Glaze" by Shiseido.
"We love beautiful scents." "Do you know the cosmetic test ranges in the drugstores?" "Full of all eyeshadow shades of a company? If they were retired, I took them home for Kathrin to play with," says Bärbel Gäbel, who worked for years as a druggist. Kathrin would have looked at everything with interest, but then would rather out - climb trees. "Even if my relationship with cosmetics has changed and is unadorned unthinkable for me now - in terms of cosmetics, I was a late bloomer," says the nurse. "However, what interested me as a teenager is beautiful scents." This love of perfume is clearly inherited: mother and daughter have several different things in addition to their favorites, they change as the mood takes them. Only in the sun, Bärbel Gäbel leaves nothing but sunscreen on her skin. In summer, the passionate camper always uses UV-protection lotion for body care. "I like a slightly tanned complexion, but without protection, I never went out in the sun, otherwise I would have become my best anti-wrinkle cream customer very early on." Mother Bärbel Gäbel smells of the flowery-warm classic "Roma" by Laura Biagiotti; Kathrin Begemann prefers to use the feminine "Allure" by Chanel.
"We divide the cosmetics." "We have a very close relationship to each other and currently live like a shared flat," says Mother Christel, living with her two daughters.Maxie has just come back from a trip around the world and is now looking for a business administration degree, Lina is up to his ears in training as a physiotherapist, Christel is a nurse - all are up to the evening constantly on the go. The only place they are guaranteed to meet once a day is the bathroom. In the morning. "It's always open to everyone, there's hardly any kidding," says Maxie. Her sister Lina confirms that: "Even the make-up we use three together, if the one has a new eye shadow, the other wants to try him out, one goes out in one, they use it in the other. Whether it's eye make-up, blush or gloss - mainly brown tones, that suits everyone - right now we have one and the same mascara. " When it comes to make-up, the mother is rather purist: "I do not use eyeshadow or blush at all or only in the evening," she says, "and of course I'll go for the family mascara." Favorite product of the three: "XXL" volume mascara by Maybelline Jade; Eyeshadow Palette: "Eye Mania No. 3" by Armani.
"As a kid, I wanted my mother to be more stylized." "With make-up, I first came into contact with my father," says Johanna Christine Gehlen, who is seen as an actress in many television films (eg, "Moppel-I", "crime scene"). Father Elmar is an actor and director, and in a silver make-up kit he kept his old pantomime make-up - a real treasure chest for little girls. The make-up kit of the mother, a teacher by trade, was limited to two things: bright red lipstick and black mascara. "Meanwhile, I take a bit of primer, then the skin appears more even," says Hanne Gehlen. "But otherwise I did not spend much time putting on make-up, it always had to be very quick for me, and not much has changed so far." The girlish figure and that she wears the same jeans size as her daughter, she attributes her desire to move. Jogging? None. "Just keep a big dose of agility, that's enough." That's what Christine likes about her mother, "that special charisma," says Johanna Christine. And this effect is also important in front of the film camera. , , Johanna Christine Gehlen is aware of that, she takes good care of herself, takes care of herself: "Aura instead of beauty surgery", she says. Is the mother a role model? "The fact that I'm getting more and more like her on some points, that happens rather unconsciously, for example, I notice that I probably adopted Hannes minimalistic make-up-conception, I also prefer it more natural and I also wear my hair smoothly and long, like her at that age. " Hanne Gehlen swears by the primer "Magic Matte Ultra Naturel Foundation" by Lancôme. Because of the natural color, Johanna Christine loves the cinnamon-colored lip contour pencil "Mauve-Brown No. 5" by Shiseido.
"The themes are repeated, but being beautiful is easier today." Four generations, one sentence: "So you do not leave my house!" Ulrike Dünhölter laughs. "I've heard it from my mom when it came to dyed hair, which in turn knew him from her mom about the make-up, I told him to Steffi in her worst teenage eco-phase, and the little one, Rosa, gets to hear that too. " Rosa is eleven, and if she is "out of the house", it's more for eye-catching fashion jewelry. That she has been lazy-eyed every day, like all girls in her class, Mother Steffi does not find outstanding, but the graphic designer remains relaxed. The reason? Another multi-generational sentence, one from which experience speaks: "That gives itself up." From Steffi's India look, only the penchant for dark-rimmed eyes has remained, her mother, a trained hairdresser, renounces hair coloring for years and maintains her gray with shampoo in "silver gloss". Only the tone of Uroma Ingeburg's Rosé Lipstick has barely changed over decades. "I already liked it discreetly as a young girl," she says. "Chic, but subtle, and even my mother was too much." The beauty favorites of the four: "Color Riche Beige Praliné" lipstick from L'Oréal (Ingeburg Vogel), "Vital Silberglanz" shampoo by Guhl (Ulrike Dünhölter), dark brown kohl pencil from The Body Shop (Stephanie Dünhölter-Jung), "Lash Revolution Mascara" by Nivea (Rosa Jung).
