There are makeup rules, which we keep ignoring, due to stereotypes or ignorance. Nevertheless, these life hacks can change your beauty routine.
SPF-products are the best alternative to anti-aging creams
If there is no time to purchase a variety of anti-aging products, it is best to choose one product, which ensures sun protection (either care or makeup product). As you know, ultraviolet makes the skin drier, and therefore adds wrinkles.
Do not be afraid of using a foundation
There are still popular stereotypes about foundation products. For example, they are dense and therefore can clog pores. However, modern brands create light formulas that do not affect skin health (however, the most important thing is that you remove the makeup properly).
When choosing a tone, first consider your natural skin color and the desired result: radiance or matte effect. The palettes are now so vast that it is better to take two or three at once, because your complexion changes depending on the season and other factors. We recommend having a dense foundation, a BB-cream for every day and concealer, which will locally hide pimples, redness and bags under the eyes.
Use eye products scarcely
In your everyday life (that is, if you are not preparing for a special event and are not going to attend make-up courses) you do not really need a huge cosmetic bag. Makeup artists recommend limiting it to three products – mascara, a black pencil and an eyeshadow palette. Feel free to experiment with the latter: do not be afraid to mix shadows, getting new shades, and creating looks depending on your mood or the upcoming event.
There is a trick that you can do with a pencil, (if you do not want to draw eye lines) – draw a straight line right at the base of the eyelashes (as if filling the gaps between them). This will make the eyes more expressive.
Do not buy new makeup products, if you have a new hair color
They say that if you have changed your hair color, you need to discard all your old makeup products and replace them with new ones to match the new color. In fact, a different eyebrow shade can be obtained by mixing several shades of pencils or eyeshadows. So, we are getting back to the previous point – do not be afraid to receive something new from what you already have.
Use the powder locally
As teenagers, we used to apply powder on the whole face to hide all the imperfections and delay the appearance of the fatty shine. We offer to simplify this procedure with age – apply the powder only in problem areas: the chin, the nose, and the forehead. You do not need any more makeup if you are happy with your complexion as a whole.
Do not ignore radiance products
Modern beauty industry offers a variety of means for skin radiance, ranging from highlighters and glitters to sparkling powders. Applying these tools takes little time (just highlight the bones under the eyebrows, the cheekbones, and the arch over the upper lip), and helps achieve a more cheerful and fresh look.
