“I could not fly to Turkey with my mother”: Anastasia Kostenko said how she was cheated at a beauty contest 03/02/2023, 17:30

Anastasia Kostenko first participated in such a competition at the age of six. A native of the city of Salsk in the Rostov region, her parents always supported her. It was the mother who invited her daughter to participate in a photo contest in 2012, which became the beginning of her journey.

Then Anastasia won. But then she got a shock.

“I won a photoshoot, make-up, shoes, placement on the main banner of the year and the most anticipated trip for two to Turkey! I wanted to fly with my mother, but it turned out that the voucher has an expiration date and is shorter than the period for issuing a passport, “said Anastasia.

As a result, the model could not go anywhere, which upset her very much. But the unpleasant surprises did not end there. “The makeup for the main shoot was a complete failure. How angry I was then. “The ‘no-makeup’ makeup involved drawing the lash line and coloring the inner lids, plus raspberry lipstick,” the star complained.

The next step for the football player’s wife was the Rostov competition, where she won the title “Don Beauty-2012”. “I didn’t want to win at all. There were no thoughts that everything was dishonest and bought. I just did what I liked: I drew up a creative number, a business card, and I was distracted by the preparation. Compliments and wishes to become a “Don beauty” rained down, Anastasia explained.

Two years later, she took part in the Miss Russia competition, in which she became the second runner-up. And then Anastasia represented our country at the Miss World 2014 beauty pageant in London. After that, the girl began an affair with Dmitry Tarasov. The football player became her husband, now the couple are raising three children.
