For face care
Shower gel. Before you start applying makeup, you need to prepare your skin for this. Morning washing should begin with a small amount of antibacterial gel applied to damp skin. Then, with your fingertips, begin to gradually massage the delicate skin of the face, forming a lather. Then rinse off the gel with warm running water. Tonic. For toning the face and removing the remains of the gel after the morning wash, a tonic is suitable. When choosing this remedy, you need to take into account the chemical composition of the toner itself and your skin type. It is worth avoiding products that contain alcohol, otherwise daily use can provoke dryness and redness of the skin. Among the offered assortment, we recommend paying attention to pore-reducing, mattifying or anti-inflammatory tonics. Micellar water. Micellar water has become an alternative to tonics and gels for washing. In addition to the main tonic effect, it also perfectly cleanses the skin from make-up and various impurities. To apply micellar water, it is enough to apply a small amount of the product on a cotton pad and wipe your face.
Scrub. Owners of problematic and oily skin are recommended to use a scrub three times a week. With the help of abrasive particles that are contained in its composition, it will be possible to get rid of keratinized cells, contaminated pores. To do this, simply apply a small amount of the scrub to the palm of your hand and begin to gently massage your face, avoiding the eye area. Then rinse with warm water and pat dry with a cotton towel. Night cream. To prevent the appearance of irritation on the delicate skin of the face and the early formation of wrinkles, you need to take off your makeup every night. To do this, use special milk or micellar water. After cleansing, apply a thin layer of night cream. This tool is able to restore the skin and fill the epidermis with useful substances. Daily cream. Day cream will become an indispensable item of the cosmetic bag. It has several functions: it protects the skin from the negative influences of the external environment, moisturizes and prepares the base for makeup. Summer cream should contain a high SPF sunscreen to prevent UV exposure. A winter day cream should be thicker to protect your face from the elements.
Cosmetics
Concealer. Few girls can boast of perfect facial skin. Concealer is capable of concealing imperfections and making the skin perfect, smoothing out all irregularities and pimples. When choosing this cosmetic product, you need not only to choose the right tone, but also take into account the texture. In summer, light mousses should be preferred, and for the autumn-winter period, a creamy texture is suitable. You can apply the product with your fingertips or use a special foam sponge. Powder. Powder will help to correct imperfections on the face or hide oily sheen in the T-zone. It can be of several types: crumbly or compact. Powder is selected depending on what effect you are trying to achieve. With its help, it will be possible to fix the foundation, as well as to even out the skin tone. The ideal use for the powder would be its invisibility on the face. Therefore, keep a sense of proportion when applying it. Blush. Blush will help to accentuate the cheekbones or completely change facial features. To do this, take a special brush and make several light movements in the direction from the temporal region to the chin. Then apply a small layer of blush to the cheekbones, while blending well the clear lines.
Eyebrow pencil. Use a pencil to dominate your eyebrows. In this case, the drawing of strokes should not be performed in the middle of the eyebrows, but repeat the lines of their contour. After that, take a thin brush or sponge and blend the pencil. Shadows. It is customary to use bright, shiny or dark shadows for evening make-up, and beige shadows or pastel colors will help to emphasize the beauty of the eyes during the day. In addition, shadows can correct signs of fatigue or lack of sleep. So fill your makeup bag with a few different palettes. Eyeliner. By making a few strokes of the pencil along the lash line, your look will become more expressive. Some girls prefer to use liquid eyeliner instead of pencil. But before applying it, you need to practice well to draw perfectly straight arrows. Mascara. Among all the items in your cosmetic bag, mascara occupies an important place. Girls, using a special mascara, can add a seductive curve and extra volume to their eyelashes. It is enough to have only one mascara in your cosmetic bag, but of high quality and fully meeting your needs. Lip gloss. Lip gloss will help to give the lips a seductive look. This means of decorative cosmetics, unlike lipstick, is less persistent, but it can change the appearance of any girl. For example, the owners of thin lips will be able to give them additional volume with the help of gloss. Pomade. Decorative lipstick can accentuate the shape of the lips and add charm to a smile. For evening or casual makeup, you should have several shades of it. In addition to decorative lipstick, you must have a hygiene bag in your cosmetic bag. It will help you moisturize your lips, protect you from the scorching sun or cold wind.
