Facial makeup: fixed assets, tips for choosing

Makeup has become an integral part of the daily life of many girls around the world. Makeup can not only hide flaws, but also significantly emphasize the merits. What tools are part of the cosmetic kit, how to choose them correctly, we will consider further in the article.

The choice of cosmetics for every day is purely individual. Some girls prefer light, natural makeup, slightly tinting eyes with mascara and powdering their nose. The other half of the fair sex uses all kinds of makeup products.

Any makeup begins with the preparation of the face: the use of tonic and moisturizer. After the procedures done, you need to apply the base under makeup. It serves as a kind of protective layer between the skin and foundation. And also on top of the primer, the tonal base is applied more evenly, there is less risk of rolling, its resistance is significantly increased.

Bases for makeup come in different structures. Each is selected for individual skin features:

• cream bases are considered universal and suitable for each type of skin;
• water-based liquid primers (sold in dropper bottles) are most suitable for owners of oily skin;
• gel primers cope with the problem of mild dry skin and perfectly align complexion.

To obtain the effect of haze, apply a matte primer for makeup. This base is suitable for girls with skin prone to oily.

Ladies with dry skin are advised to use a moisturizing primer.It contains components that care for the dermis, nourishing and saturating it with minerals.

If there are problems with a pale complexion and dull skin, then primers with the effect of radiance do an excellent job of this. Reflective shiny particles in the makeup base will make the face “glow from the inside” and give it a healthy and rested look.

Concealer - makeup product, correcting complexion, evening tone, masking rashes. It also acts as a skin protection against wind, dust and low temperature. The choice of foundation should be approached very carefully. There are many types of tonal foundations.

Blush gives a natural and healthy color to the face, as well as adjusting its shape. The structure is dry, liquid, baked, sticks and tints.

Highlighter - another makeup productdesigned for sculpting the face by highlighting individual sections. This product is applied to the cheekbones, forehead and chin, if they do not have a natural oily sheen, on the tip of the nose, under the tip of the eyebrow and gently above the upper lip. Highlighters by texture are dry, liquid and cream, as well as with large or smaller particles of sparkles to give the face a natural glow.

Makeup pencils are used to design eyebrows, eyes and lips. With eye makeup, the pencil perfectly stains the inter-ciliary space. To do this, it is best to use products on a waterproof basis. And also with a pencil you can emphasize the shape of the eyes by drawing arrows or summing up the lower eyelid area.

Using eyebrow pencil is one of the most convenient means for their design. Having picked up a color suitable for the shade of hair, with the help of it you can easily give the eyebrows the desired shape, simulate it.

Lip pencil used before applying lipstick to clearly outline the contour. The latter can be adjusted. If you draw a contour along the lips on the skin, then visually the mouth will seem larger. If the lips are too puffy, then you need to apply foundation on them, and then draw the desired contour.

Eyeliner (liner) is also used for eye makeup. Its purpose is to emphasize the depth or softness of eye makeup. There are gel, liquid and cream liners.

The arrows are brighter compared to the pencil lines, and the look is softer. Drawn by eyeliner, they look more beautiful, with the force of pressure you can adjust their thickness. But the application requires some skill, in contrast to a hard pencil.

A decorative pigment applied to the eyelids. Properly selected shade will emphasize the natural color of the eyes. Shadows allow you to visually adjust the shape of the eyelids, making the eyes larger and more expressive.

The texture of the shadow is dry and gel. Dry are divided into pigmented, baked and pressed. Gel can be in sticks, cream and liquid. And also eye shadow can be divided into:

• matte - used as base shadows for natural makeup;
• satin - with the effect of wet skin and a slight radiance;
• shimmer - with a more pronounced radiance and large sparkles;
• duochromes - shadows at which the hue changes and depends on the angle of incidence of light.

Mascara - a decorative tool to emphasize and give eyelashes a more saturated color. Distinguish between waterproof and non-waterproof carcasses. And they are also divided according to the purpose: some give volume to the eyelashes, others make it longer, and others give a beautiful bend.

High-quality mascara remains stable throughout the day and does not crumble under the eyes.

The product of decorative cosmetics for coloring and moisturizing lips. The texture distinguishes cream lipsticks in sticks, liquid, as well as lip gloss. By the presence of gloss, they can also be divided into glossy, matte, satin, satin and varnish. Lipsticks are still waterproof and non-waterproof.

Liquid lipsticks are designed for the warm season, since in the cold they contribute to chapping of the lips. This is an intermediate option between lipsticks in sticks and lip gloss.

Glitters are usually transparent, but can have different shades and glitter fillers. Give the lips volume, can be used on top of lipstick or as an independent tool.

Unlike the basic makeup kit, which is stored in each girl’s makeup bag, there are large makeup kits that are often used by professional makeup artists.

Most often, such sets are presented in the form of a multi-tier case, inside of which there are many shades and textures of eye shadow and eyebrow, individual cells with lipsticks and lip gloss options.In these sets you can see several shades of pressed blush, sculpting agent, face powder. In fact, this is a complete set of makeup cosmetics for all occasions in one set. A frequent addition to the case are several brushes for applying shadows or lipsticks, but professionals strongly recommend buying them separately.

The versatility of such kits is also a drawback. If the shades are not suitable for the color type, then they remain intact. It turns out that about half of the makeup is not used. Therefore, it is more profitable to buy small sets, for example, palettes of lipsticks or eyeshadows, and the remaining funds to purchase separately, taking into account the type and color of the skin.

But such sets are a great gift for teens. The girl has the opportunity to experiment with different makeup techniques. But cosmetics should be suitable for young skin, and this should be indicated in the kit description.

The list of decorative cosmetics that is used daily is individual for each girl. The basic set usually includes the base for the tonal base, then the tonal tool and powder, which is applied at the end of the makeup. If there are red rashes or pimples on the skin, then they must be masked with a concealer. Otherwise, they will be ironed through the applied tone and give blue.

Necessarily needed blush and a means to adjust the face. They will give the skin a healthy look, slightly adjust the contour of the face. To make up the eyes and eyebrows, you need pencils, eye shadow and mascara. Then apply lipstick or lip gloss. If the shape of the lips is good, then you do not need to adjust it with a pencil.

When choosing cosmetics for the face, the first thing it is important to determine your skin type (dry, normal, combination or oily). The color scheme is selected in accordance with its color type, which is determined by appearance. For example, red lipstick suits everyone, but only if the right shade is selected. There are many different classifications, but it is better to select the best options, in practice trying on different images.

It is worthwhile to carefully approach the quality of the product, do not buy cosmetics in unverified stores, markets, underground passages. When buying products in such places, you can never be sure of the quality, shelf life and company of products that produce these cosmetics.

And also be sure to read the composition of the products for the presence of substances that can cause allergies. A new tool is recommended to be tested by applying a little to thin skin in the bend of the elbow. If there is a lack of vitamins, which is manifested in dry skin or lips, you should pay attention to cosmetics, which include vitamins and minerals, aloe oil, avocado, calendula and other natural components.

It is worth paying attention to the texture of cosmetic products. It should be homogeneous, without the presence of any lumps or “sand”, without a sharp unpleasant odor.
