Ever curious about the shopping habits of your beloved celebrities when they’re perusing their favorite boutiques or indulging in some late-night online retail therapy? Welcome to Six Picks, a feature where stars reveal their style and beauty essentials, allowing you to shop with the flair of the famous.
Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, who won over audiences as Svetlana in “Heated Rivalry” with her unwavering loyalty to best friend Ilya Rozanov (played by Connor Storrie) and her stunning, fiery curls, is now stepping into the fashion spotlight. She recently graced the runway for Christian Cowan during her inaugural visit to New York Fashion Week (NYFW), setting the stage for her burgeoning fashion career.
Reflecting on her debut, Kharlamova shared with Page Six Style during a meet and greet at the tech haven tm:rw in Times Square, “I was nervous leading up to it. I even thought, ‘Oh my God, should I cancel?’ My biggest fear was having a bad walk and becoming the subject of online ridicule.”
Despite feeling that the runway experience was “kind of foreign,” Kharlamova is no stranger to modeling. With years of experience under her belt, she knows exactly which beauty products are worth their weight in gold. Here, we delve into six of her go-to items, including the conditioner and collagen peptides that keep her signature curls in pristine condition.
Among her essentials, she highlights a particular favorite: “The brown one, specifically. I love brown mascara over black because it provides a more natural look for everyday wear.”
“The secret to the curls? Honestly, yeah!”
“Stunning. It just makes you look like you have a filter on your face!”
“My hair’s been growing so fast since I started taking it.”
“This Canadian brand has the most stunning lip pencils; I’m constantly buying more. I love a good lip combo.”
“I’ve been trying to find a signature fragrance lately. Right now, I’m wearing this one, but honestly, any of the Kilian perfumes are great.”
