• This is how Hiba Abouk's makeup was done

  • Daniel Figuero, Dior perfume ambassador: "There are people you like better or worse because of how they smell"

  • Makeup artists demand visibility: "Without our makeup, many artists would not be who they are"

Hiba Abouk

(Madrid, 1986) arrives at the photo session in the capital pushing the stroller of her second child, a 10-day-old baby who will be stuck in the following hours, breastfeeding is compulsory.

Between takes and takes, the actress is transformed, by the hand of

Dior,

with make-up from past decades that are again a trend today.

Your favorites of hers?

"The 90s look, which reminds me of my younger days, and

the glam red lip,

always a hit," says Abouk.

A few days later, when we spoke with her

from Paris,

where she lives with her partner, the footballer

Achraf Hakimi,

it was natural to ask her how she agreed to get into such a mess, our beauty production, with such a recent birth.

"Although it is the most violent event that can happen to the human body,

I felt fine.

Besides, it amuses me, and that's how I got out of

the boob-diaper loop,"

he acknowledges.

In fact, she was delighted at all times;

not in vain, for her, this

makeup and hairstyle,

"doesn't stop being another

means of expression

through which I really like to communicate".

Far from seeming frivolous to her, taking off her pajamas, getting off the couch, taking a shower, and putting on lipstick energizes her.

And that for Hiba Abouk beauty, aside from the obviousness of having particular physical features, lies "in your state of mind:

positive, cheerful people,

who have a yes for an answer, that's beautiful".

Hiba Abouk, from Madrid to Paris

From Madrid

he misses the food and its people, but from Paris he stays "with the cultural offer, the musicality of the language and the fact that it is so cosmopolitan, that there is

so much color in the street".

Three details that say a lot about her, from Madrid with Tunisian parents, who speaks

five languages

​​and who, before launching her acting career in 2014, with the role of

Fatima

in the series

'The Prince',

studied Arabic Philology.

All the fruit of her innate curiosity, she says, the one that makes her passionate about music (flamenco and jazz), about literature - although she admits with laughter that right now

she is not reading Chekhov,

precisely, but a book about postpartum - and don't rule out going back to college.

In France he has also found the place to work.

In 2021, a year full of projects with

the short 'Hands Free' and the series 'Madres',

she also participated in the French '

J'ai tué mon mari'.

40's

The golden age of Hollywood had

red lips and black eyeliner

as its hallmarks.

Today they are taken up almost verbatim, and this is how makeup artist

Kley Kafe, Dior's ambassador in Spain, interprets them.

60's

The aesthetic popularized

by Twiggy or the Jane Fonda from 'Barbarella'

is once again a trend.

The key is to enhance

the lashes

with mascara (no need to go overboard) and

draw in fake freckles

with two shades of

Dior brow pencil,

the trick of makeup artist Kley Kafe.

Eyelashes and freckles to the 60s

70's

Disco fever

translated to makeup in shimmering shadows like mirror balls.

Greens, purples or blues, like

Dior

shadows ,

applied in a very faded way, are an option worthy of 2022.

Very personal

Something new in hand?

"No, I'm on a break that I hope to prolong,

I want to enjoy my family

and then we'll see," she says.

Because the rush does not go with Hiba Abouk, neither now nor throughout her career.

It is a rare avis in the world of interpretation, where it is common for actors to splice one project with another.

"My priority is my personal life

and, I always say, it's because I can afford it. If I had to pay a mortgage, make ends meet, I would have to take any series they offered me, but fortunately that's not my case," admits.

Whoever said from a young age at home that "mom, I want to be an artist", appears in these images now as

Veronica Lake,

now as

Jane Fonda

in

'Barbarella'.

However, the one who really freaks out Hiba Abouk is

Romy Schneider

in 'The important thing is to love', a film that, on the other hand, would not have starred as hard, unlike any of

Almodóvar,

"who writes

roles for incredible women".

And does Abouk dream of something else in his life?

"Personally, that we are all healthy; professionally... Well,

I would love to do

a James Bond ."

As a Bond girl?

"Well,

if it were already James Bond, it would seem to me the most,

the most, the most. If that happens, I'll retire like

Rihanna

and dedicate myself to something else, I swear!"
