Modern life of a woman is not onlycaring about "keeping the fire" in the home. Today, many ladies combine study, career, raising children, traveling and rest, so they have to try very hard to do everything, be everywhere and not forget anything. Naturally, such a busy pace of life leaves its mark on the appearance of girls, because most of them, due to the variety of things to do and constant lack of time, deprive their body of the most important thing - eight hours of sleep and a balanced diet. Regular lack of sleep, accumulated fatigue, lack of vitamins negatively affect the condition of women's skin: even the smallest wrinkles become more noticeable, circles appear under the eyes. But with the help of modern cosmetics, it is very easy to restore freshness to the face and give it a shimmering shine. The main thing is to do morning makeup correctly, which consists of several stages:
- washing;
- toning;
- cleansing and moisturizing;
- protection;
- and directly the application of decorative cosmetics (foundation, powder, mascara, lipstick and so on).
Thanks to our recommendations, you will learn how to carry out this procedure quickly and efficiently.
Preparatory stage: washing and toning
The first thing every person does afterwaking up - it's time to wash your face. Naturally, morning makeup begins with this procedure. After all, initially you need to tone your skin, and only then apply makeup and mask traces of lack of sleep, poor health or the consequences of yesterday's holiday. Surely, if you want to perk up, relieve fatigue and drive away sleep, then take a contrast shower. This method is suitable for both the body and the face. Therefore, the first thing that is recommended to do is to wash your face first with cold and then with hot water. Direct it with a strong stream directly to your face, turning on one and then the other. Finish the procedure with cold liquid, which will help narrow the pores and restore blood circulation. Cosmetologists advise to carry out other measures after washing aimed at improving the health and toning of the skin. To do this, you need to make an infusion of dried chamomile or rose petals - they are sold in every pharmacy. Simply pour the mixture into boiling water, boil for a few minutes, then cool and strain through a sieve or a piece of clean gauze. Then freeze the liquid in the refrigerator and wipe your face with ice cubes every morning. Get used to this procedure, which improves skin tone, thereby prolonging its beauty and youth. If you do this regularly, you will soon notice that your face will become fresh, radiant, and your cheeks will be rosy. You can apply ice to your eyes - this way you will get rid of swelling and traces of a sleepless night. By the way, if you have sensitive skin prone to acne and redness, apply a special mask to your face before going to bed. To do this, prepare a decoction of chamomile with the addition of a small amount of soda (two teaspoons per liter of water is enough). Then dip gauze into it and apply a damp cloth to your face. This will help relieve inflammation, soothe allergies, and lighten pigment spots slightly, if any. In principle, to save time on such evening procedures, you can freeze the prepared mixture and wipe your face with it every morning.
The second stage: purification, moisturizing, protection
One of the main conditions under which the skinremains healthy, maintains its fresh and blooming appearance, is its cleansing and nutrition. These processes are especially active at night, so if the night before you were unable to get enough sleep due to one reason or another (for example, insomnia, going to bed late, a protracted party), then in the morning you will have to take emergency measures to restore your lost beauty. So, after you wash your face, wipe your face with ice cubes from a decoction of chamomile or other herbs, be sure to apply a cleansing mask that will help get rid of comedones and blackheads. There are many tips for preparing such mixtures at home. But it is unlikely that in the morning, in a hurry to get ready for work, you will have time for this. Therefore, we recommend purchasing a special mask, freely sold in stores and pharmacies - choose it based on your skin type. For example, if you suffer from excessive shine and oiliness, buy a product with a drying effect, with excessive dryness, on the contrary, give preference to a nourishing mask. After you have completed the above procedures, do not forget to moisturize your skin. To do this, apply a thin layer of cream to your face. To do this correctly, take the product with your fingers, rub it in your palms, and then gently rub it into the skin with massaging movements. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the pores will become clogged and stop "breathing". As a result, acne and inflammation may appear. Therefore, apply a thin layer of moisturizer to all areas, paying special attention to the cheeks, since the skin on them is more vulnerable. Wait one or two minutes until the product is absorbed, and then remove its excess with a special napkin or cotton pad. The final procedure of the second stage of morning makeup is the application of protective cosmetics. Scientists have repeatedly warned from TV screens and from the pages of printed publications that sun rays have a negative effect on the skin. This not only leads to premature aging, pigment spots and wrinkles, but can also cause more serious consequences: burns and, what is even worse, cancer. To avoid this, you need to use special protective equipment. In winter and spring, when ultraviolet radiation is not too harmful, apply a cream with an SPF of at least fifteen to your face, and for summer, choose stronger cosmetics with protection equal to 30 or higher. If you want to stay young and beautiful as long as possible, do this procedure daily. When choosing a product, give preference to one that is well absorbed and leaves no marks. Today, there are moisturizing creams that combine several functions at once, including protection from sun rays. Choose such a product, and then you will not have to apply two types of cream to your face - one will be enough.
The third stage: the application of decorative cosmetics
To cover up the traces of a sleepless night, of course.difficult, but nothing is impossible for a woman! Firstly, the main thing in this matter is not to overdo it with brightness, since saturated colors of shadows or other cosmetics will not hide, but, on the contrary, will only emphasize fatigue. Therefore, morning makeup should be done in warm pastel colors and look as natural as possible. Secondly, keep in mind that it will take about fifteen minutes. So, if you want to look great and not be late for work, get up early. So, let's consider the entire procedure for applying decorative cosmetics from start to finish:
- The first thing you need to do is to hidedark circles under the eyes and swelling. To do this, use a corrector: apply it in the form of several points under the lower eyelid and gently rub with your fingers or sponge, which is desirable to moisten beforehand.
- There is another tool calledconcealer. Many confuse these two concepts, while this is completely different cosmetics. The corrector is applied to the tonal basis and allows you to correct color deficiencies, for example, dark circles, redness, pigment spots. It is released as liquid in tubes, and in the form of a pencil. In the texture it is very dense, it often includes light-reflecting particles, thanks to which the correction by this means is more reliable.
- Disguise pimples, acne and other irregularitiesskin can be with the help of concealer, which, unlike the corrector, is applied over the tonal basis. Today it is produced in the form of a liquid with a brush, which is very easy to apply makeup. However, treat not the whole surface of the face, but directly the problem place. Some modern concealers contain salicylic acid and help not only disguise, but also cure acne. This same cosmetics, which includes vitamins and antioxidants, is ideal for mature women with a fading skin.
- The next step is applying a foundation. It should be one tone lighter than the one you normally use. This will visually make the face fresh and rejuvenate it. Apply with a wet sponge, remove the rest of the substrate with a tissue. To fix the makeup and give the face a shine, use powder with reflective particles.
- Now make up the eyelashes black ordark brown mascara, and on the cheeks, apply with a brush of blush. Choose natural shades, combined with the color of your skin. Suitable is also a product with a light peach or pale pink tint, which will hide the signs of fatigue and give the face a fresh healthy appearance.
Morning makeup should be as minimal as possiblenatural and in no way provocative. If you want to use shadows, then give preference to pastel tones, and more saturated ones can be applied to the outer corner of the upper eyelid. Be sure to use mascara - it will visually "open" your look and emphasize the beauty of your eyes. If you have chosen a black product, then the eyeliner should be light green, gray, blue or light blue. It is not recommended to paint your lips with bright red lipstick in the morning. This option is more suitable for the evening. Therefore, use cosmetics of pale pink, delicate peach, beige or other pastel colors. Stylists advise choosing lip gloss in a natural tone. Your main task is to do such makeup in the morning that will allow you to look attractive, despite the fact that you spent a sleepless night. To do this, it is enough to cleanse and moisturize the skin, then even out its tone, powder and lightly touch up. Focus on noticeable bright details (for example, eyes, blush), thereby diverting the gaze of others from minor imperfections in appearance. Smile in a friendly manner, be welcoming, and you will always be able to look ten years younger! And remember that healthy appearance and elasticity of the skin is not given by cosmetics, but by good sleep, balanced nutrition and sports. We recommend reading:
