Andrey Shilkov, Alena Moiseeva, Natalya Vlasova and other top makeup artists told what tonal means they use and explained how to apply creams, fluids and cushons correctly.
The choice of Ernest Muntaniol
Foundation Vitalumiere Aqua, Chanel
“The best way to refresh makeup is a well-chosen foundation - if you renew it after a couple of hours, you will not get the effect of plaster on your face. This cream contains a lot of water. Gives a semi-matte, semi-luminous finish and blends well. Remember: the more water in the formula, the better for dry skin - the cream will not accentuate peeling. This is important for our region and climate”.
Price: 3500 rub.
Alena Moiseeva's choice
Concealer Traceless Foundation, Tom Ford
“Thin, glossy in texture. Perfectly fits even on the driest skin and removes flaking. A light shining finish appears. It includes an SPF-15 filter”.
Price: 4600 rub.
Foundation Ultra Sheer, Face Atelier
“This professional product is not easy to get hold of - it can be found in specialty makeup shops in America. Makes even the most problematic skin flawless. The highly pigmented foundation is easy to apply, enveloping the skin and repeating the relief, softens and smoothes it, eliminates flaking. The palette has a very light shade for snow white. Perfect for creating a porcelain skin effect."
Price: about 2050 rubles. (20 ml)
Concealer Secret Camouflage, Laura Mercier
“There are no alternatives to it - the dense texture, which at the same time perfectly stretches, is unique. I apply not only under the eyes - it is perfect for masking redness in the T-zone and minor imperfections. Can be layered. It is almost not felt on the face - weightless. No makeup is complete without this concealer."
Price: about 1993 rub.
Elena Krygina's choice
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation
“Foundation with a dispenser, in a glass bottle. Most importantly, it has a balance: in the Bobbi Brown range, from the thickest sticks to the lightest balms, it sits right in the middle.
You will not feel the cream on your face - very comfortable, but it gives good coverage. It adheres perfectly and does not dry out the skin during the day. By the way, I even put it under my eyes - instead of concealer."
Price: 3800 rub.
Choice of Alexandra Kirienko
Foundation Double Wear Light, Estée Lauder
“I recommend this product to clients with combination and oily skin. Mattifies, hides imperfections and gives a slight lifting effect. Light in texture - I wear it in the summer.
But for dry skin it is not suitable: it can emphasize peeling. Very persistent - lasts up to 15 hours."
Price: 4070 rub.
Choice of Olga Charandaeva
Highlighter Watt's Ap Benefit
“Double-sided magic wand - highlighter on one side, sponge on the other. It resembles champagne in color, it has a small shimmer and bronze overflows. It is barely noticeable on the skin if applied with a stick and blend with a sponge: just what you need for everyday makeup. And for filming I distribute it with my fingertips - then it looks brighter."
Price: 2645 rub.
Irina Mitroshkina's choice
Foundation Maestro Fusion Makeup SPF15, Giorgio Armani
“I recommend this remedy for people with oily, porous skin. Lays down in a thin layer, does not roll and looks natural. Gives the face a natural glow and spreads easily even with the fingers, although I prefer to work with brushes."
Price: 4 420 rubles.
Highlighter Shimmering Skin Perfector, Becca
“I always recommend taking it with you on vacation. This product can be applied not only to the face, but also to the body - the effect of radiance on tanned skin looks amazing. Hollywood stars very often trust this tool with their image on the red carpet. Easy to apply with your fingers - my best liquid highlighter."
Price: about 2336 rubles.
Victoria Moiseeva's choice
Foundation Barely Base Sheer Mineral Make Up, Senna
“This product is the progenitor of BB cream. Light toning gel instantly gets used to your natural tone, while it perfectly masks fine wrinkles and redness. It contains vitamin C, ginseng and chamomile extracts to moisturize and soothe the skin."
Price: 3800 rub.
Cushion Air Fit, A'pieu
“This brand started the cushion movement and is currently the cheapest of its kind on the market. Available in three textures. The first is classic, very shiny and a little wet. She merges with the skin - that's why I love her. There is also a very long-lasting matte XP texture (good for filming) and finally the middle in between is called the Korean word Pposong. So this cushion benefits from a variety of textures, low prices and lightest coverage. It is applied so simply that it is convenient to use it even in a taxi."
Price: 580 rub.
Cushion Do Do Cat, Holika Holika
“You get immediate tone and strobing: a product with a very shiny texture. Immediately attracts with its cheerful design in the form of a cat's paw. When applied, it cools the face and tightens pores. Made with botanicals that soothe the skin. And the silicon dioxide in the composition helps to get rid of the oily sheen."
Price: 2 190 rubles.
Cushion Double Wear Cushion Stick, Estee Lauder
“Although all cushons usually have a small amount of product, in this case the manufacturers decided to isolate the sponge from the liquid by distributing them in different compartments. Gives the finish that Russian girls prefer: a finish that matches the skin tone, but a little more matte. We are still afraid to apply highly shining products, and this cushion gives just a very delicate glow. Another advantage is that it is presented in a large number of shades. For comparison, Korean cushons are usually presented in a maximum of three."
Price: 3,500 rubles.
Foundation Water Blend, Make Up For Ever
“The foundation gives a fairly transparent coverage with a slight mattifying effect - made with water. It is easily applied with a beauty blender, mattifies well and hides minor redness. I recommend choosing a shade darker - not to match the tone of the face, but to match the tone of the neck. This will help avoid the "white pancake" effect.
Price: 2 970 rub.
Foundation for airbrush, Temptu
“Perhaps the most enduring foundation I've ever seen. You don't need to buy an airbrush to apply it - use a tone brush. It is applied with a light veil, while mattifying the skin well and masking redness. You can forget about makeup until the end of the day - it lasts at least 10-12 hours."
Price: 3 800 rub.
The choice of Andrey Shilkov
Foundation fluid The Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation SPF20, La Mer
“Another discovery in 2016 is a long-lasting tonal fluid. You can apply it with a brush or a Beautyblender sponge for a thin, very natural finish, ideal for a natural and long-lasting make-up. In addition, the product cares for the skin - after a few weeks of constant use, you will see it yourself."
Price: RUB 6885
Concealer Luminous Silk Foundation, Giorgio Armani
“One of my favorites, who“settled”in the work case for a long time. It is very easy to achieve the effect of radiant skin with this cream - it contains reflective particles, so after application the face looks fresh and rested. I also like the silky texture, easy to blend, easy to layer when needed. It's a pleasure to work with such a product."
Price: 4345 rub.
Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation, Make Up For Ever
“The creamy texture of this stick provides excellent coverage with a satin sheen of beautiful skin. Convenient to carry, can be layered, good pigmentation and hiding power."
Price: 2500 rub.
The choice of Natalia Vlasova
BB cream Сreme Nude Erborian
“The product is shiny, but it doesn't have to be applied all over the face - I love using the BB cream underneath concealer. Or even instead of concealer - sometimes you don't need it at all to mask bruises. This product has reflective particles, so a BB cream will suffice.”
Price: 3450 rub. (45 ml)
The choice of Sergei Naumov
Studio Sculpt, M. A. C
“The tone should hide the problem areas well, and at the same time give a natural effect. M. A. C Studio Sculpt with silicones copes with the task - it perfectly hides flaws, it is practically invisible in the photo."
