Identify your skin type
All care and decorative cosmeticsProducts differ by skin type. Even if this information is not provided on the packaging, you should be aware whether this product is right for you or not. Otherwise, do not be surprised if an expensive foundation “floats” on your oily skin, and transparent powder does not help to hide redness on the skin. Products for oily skin have absorbent and matting properties, for problematic skin – antibacterial and drying, for dry skin – protective and nourishing. How can you do beautiful makeup without knowing whether the cosmetics meet the requirements of your epidermis type? To find out your individual skin type, use the simplest indicator – a paper napkin. Clean your face from dirt and makeup residue, dry it thoroughly. Two hours after washing, apply the napkin to your chin and forehead. Oily epidermis will leave bright traces of sebum on the paper, normal – slightly noticeable spots. Dry skin simply will not have time to secrete a drop of sebum in such a short time. Knowing your skin type will help you choose the right makeup. Oily and combination skin needs a special fixing base for makeup. Dry or normal skin needs to be moisturized before using foundation and corrective products. When applying makeup, use toners in the form of a gel or fluid if you suffer from increased sebaceous gland activity. Are you haunted by a feeling of tightness and flaking on your cheeks? Buy a thick foundation for dry skin with nourishing components. How to learn to apply makeup if you have oily skin? Girls with oily skin are familiar with the problem of choosing eyeshadow. Creamy and powdery textures quickly mix with sebum and are absorbed into the skin of the eyelids or roll and crumble. To avoid this, powder your eyelids with loose powder before applying makeup and use gel or waterproof eyeshadow.
Save money correctly
- Do not experiment with inexpensive toners
You should never skimp on foundation.case is impossible. You can't do beautiful makeup based on powder for 60 rubles. In addition, cheap tinting cosmetics are made from low-quality and sometimes dangerous ingredients - for example, mineral oil. This petroleum product clogs pores, causing the appearance of "blackheads" and pimples. High-quality products contain vitamin complexes and medicinal components - for example, tea tree essential oil or Shea butter. Such a tone is applied in a thin, even and uniform layer and lasts a long time.
- Cheap lipstick and cheap shine - what's the difference?
Inexpensive lipstick quickly rolls and clogsin the corners of the lips and cracks. Once you drink a glass of wine or a glass of cola, its shade becomes lighter and almost invisible. This happens because the coloring pigment used in the production of lipsticks of any price category is quite expensive. The company that produces mass-market cosmetics saves on the amount of pigment and carnauba wax. Therefore, its color cannot be called saturated, and the consistency of the contents of the tube leaves much to be desired. Another thing is gloss. Most brands produce almost identical compositions and shades, changing only the design of the packaging and the name of the product. The translucent texture of the gloss does not require an increased content of pigments in it, so there is no point in buying an expensive gloss. The main selection criteria are the convenience of the brush and the absence of a “sticky” effect on the lips after application.
- Dear carcass - yes! Dear lacs - no!
Luxury mascara is more durable and less likely to crumbleeyes with black flakes than its cheap counterparts. Pay attention to waterproof options - with them you are not afraid of snow and rain. Expensive mascaras often contain proteins that promote the growth and strengthening of eyelashes. It is not worth spending money on nail polish. Firstly, it dries very quickly, regardless of the cost of the coveted bottle. Secondly, you will not be able to use the product to the last drop anyway.
- Buy high-quality makeup brushes
To make your makeup look beautiful, you need toapply makeup correctly. And what do you need for this? That's right, quality brushes. Some girls manage to blend shadows, foundation, and concealer with their fingertips. Using a brush, you use less product and simplify the makeup application process. Choose brushes with natural bristles - they last longer. Residue from decorative cosmetics is an ideal environment for the reproduction of bacteria that cause skin diseases. Therefore, all makeup brushes should be washed with soap under running warm water once a week, and then dried.
