Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up with Deimante Kazenaite an exceptionally talented, make-up artist, Instagram star and model here she talks about her fitness routine, her diet, skin care, hair care and her success story on Instagram.
Namita Nayyar:
You grew up in Lithuania and basically lived there your present life. Later you started working as a model and now your career is propelled of an Instagram sensation to the height where you have been at the top of the world of fashion and glamour modeling with impressive 140k Instagram followers. Tell us more about this journey of hard work, tenacity, and endurance?
Deimante Kazenaite:
I grew up in Lithuania and lived till now. Last year when I met my boyfriend who is French I started living between two spots. And now I’m living active life between Vilnius and Paris 50/50.
I tried modeling at a young age when I was 16-18 years old and then stopped for studies and work as a makeup artist. So I did modeling a bit, then studied politics, then worked for 7-8 years as a professional makeup artist and then switched to Instagram 100%. So my life has been quite a switch all the time. I started Instagram from pure passion for beauty and fashion. I worked in the photo shoots everyday so I shared a bit of my skills and backstage there. And then fell in need to share my outfits and my casual lifestyle for exchange of everyday work as a makeup artist. At that time I had no idea, it will ever be my job someday. As none of us thought that one day it’s going to be full of opportunities space for work. It became so natural to share my lifestyle that I didn’t feel when it came to point when I have to make a decision to stop makeup artist work and spend my full energy only on Instagram creating content.
Namita Nayyar:
You have been practicing sport since you were very young. Tell us more about this endeavor of yours and how it had been a catalyst to turn you such an epitome of glamour, beauty, and elegance?
Deimante Kazenaite:
I did sports from seven years of age. I started I was not so elegant and glamorous. I started doing judo and came to point I was doing it professionally 1-2 per day every day, going to competitions on the weekend and being in Lithuanian national team. I was always so skinny that people all the time used to say how it is possible for you – so tiny and skinny, elegant girl doing judo?
But I was enjoying being good at it. Till I decided I don’t see myself doing it professionally anymore and stopped at 17 years of age. At that time I took part in Miss Lithuania and went to Milan to do some modeling as well. I told you doing different in life have always been my type of thing. After I stopped judo I started studying and for 10 years was trying to learn a new way of doing sport for myself, not for result of a sportswoman.
Namita Nayyar:
You have been selected as “Top 10 most stylish women” by the Lithuanian Edition of L’Officiel Magazine. Tell us more about this exceptional achievement of yours and how this has been the turning point in your modeling and Instagram star career?
Deimante Kazenaite:
This year I was the second one on the list by people voting in Lithuania. I was really happy to hear that people see me that way. Fashion always be my passion. I remember when I was studying and practicing in Parliament and Vilnius municipality (as I mentioned I was studying politics) I was trying to hide myself a bit, because it was too much attention for my appearance there. But even at that time people used to say to me that I always dress nice and stylish.
But I was never confident about it. I always liked clothing so following fashion was never hard. It is in my blood. It’s just what is coming to my interest all the time. And Instagram community loves it. So I can always be useful to them. And my mission and my fulfillment come from giving to people something useful, information that brings something new to their life. New vision. New style tips. New beauty concept. I never was and never will be the one who always have to perfect. When I’m casual I don’t push myself to be wow. I just like being me.

Namita Nayyar:
You are a world-leading media personality, Instagram star, model, and brand ambassador. How do you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Deimante Kazenaite:
I don’t know what I can say exceptional to that. It’s about willing to do things and do it right. Simple rule “the more you do the more you can do” works for everyone. So basically, its discipline. And prioritizing things. It’s what I learned in life. Where you put your energy, this sphere grows. I don’t believe in motivation as it’s something magical what come to us. Motivation is usually seen in wrong place. As it’s the feeling that always comes first and then you build the castle.
No, usually motivation comes when you trigger yourself and do things. When you are finished doing a thing, you then get the energy and feedback and then where the motivation comes to do more and then to believe in yourself. You have to start with something. Even it is little, tiny steps.
Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Deimante Kazenaite:
I don’t have specific ones. I’m more into idea of just always moving and finding what comfort you. So sometimes I’m into Pilates – do it online or go to classes. Sometimes I go for weightlifting which was a bit forgotten in those Covid times and now came back to me. Sometimes I want to dance or do tennis. So, it’s more about finding time for myself and prioritizing me.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Deimante Kazenaite:
No, I don’t. I was always super skinny. It’s in my genes. The only difference can be – I can be skinny fit or skinny fat. When I don’t eat healthy, I don’t feel good in my gut. And In general, I love good quality food, I love vegetable and fruits. So, ten years ago by right people surrounding me I learned eating better and healthier. It’s a lifestyle, not a diet. And if I want to eat something junk I go for it and forget. It doesn’t change a big picture of me.
Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Deimante Kazenaite:
I’m grateful for nature of having it good in general. And try not to take it for granted. I always do my skincare as a rule. Doesn’t matter how tired I’m – it’s my routine to slow down. I cleanse my skin good, use toner and different creams depending on the season. I love Babor concentrates and a lot of their products.
For hair depends on the color I have. No I’m blond so God knows how much effort you have to do with those hairs. Mask which I didn’t use before is a necessity. My tip would be to use mask for 10 minutes and then put conditioner for 1-2 minute, it close the pores of the hair. Oil for the ends and heat protection is also a must.
Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of modelin
Deimante Kazenaite:
My most favorite quote is “You can’t always be strong but you can be brave”. That’s how I try to go through life. I’m not always strong and don’t push myself to be. But I always try to overcome myself and fears. And get this courage from inside within to do things. And try something new. Not known.
Namita Nayyar:
You have done bold photo shoots with Instagram and many others. How you are so body confident and advice to your compatriots?
Deimante Kazenaite:
I don’t do a lot. Mostly from holidays with bikini. I just always tell myself no matter what somebody says to you – you are strong enough and perfect the way you are. The more mature I’m the more confident I feel about my body. It’s just coming more from mindfulness than actual body. It’s true that everything is in our heads. The more you love yourself the better change you do for yourself. Not for others.
Namita Nayyar:
