Make-up:make-up tips for beautiful skin

Makeup innovation:care foundation

To have beautiful skin, you don't just limit yourself to beauty treatments, and you reconsider all your makeup, starting with your complexion. More than a foundation, the care foundation concentrates two functions:make-up and correct the complexion, for a baby skin effect. It is therefore always preferable to choose your makeup according to your skin type. Dry skin? We are moving towards a moisturizing fluid foundation, which is applied to bare skin. An anti-aging treatment? Choose a foundation that already contains a rejuvenating active ingredient, and always choose formulas with a sun protection factor. In the event of spots, dark circles or other pronounced skin defects, we bet on double use formulas:make-up and correction. For example, in case of oily skin, choose a mattifying foundation that controls shine for at least eight hours. Even better:foundations with salicylic acid, designed to cleanse the epidermis in a few days. Another novelty that is worth the detour:foundation bases that blur dilated pores if applied by tapping. In winter, we try universal tinted creams with a good-looking effect:on contact with the skin, their pigments are transformed to adapt to all skin tones. In summer, we try foundation waters, whose ultra-light texture guarantees a fresh and natural result. Keep in mind that makeup stays on exfoliated skin better.

BB cream or CC cream?

What is a CC cream? What is the difference between a CC cream and a BB cream? These two make-up products are aimed at women who want to combine care with their complexion make-up. The BB cream, or Blemish Balm ("anti-blemish balm"), is intended for normal to combination, even oily skin, which it protects, mattifies, corrects and unifies thanks to its fragrant texture and its micro-powders. It is THE makeup product for beautiful skin without overdoing it. The BB cream offers medium coverage while the CC cream, contraction of "Color Correction", only blurs the small flaws. As its name suggests, the CC cream aims to correct differences in skin tone through a double action:an anti-dark spot treatment and corrective pigments. The CC cream therefore provides little or no coverage, and does not contain micro-powders to mattify the complexion. It will also apply more easily than the BB cream. It is therefore recommended rather for dry and dull skin, in search of radiance. For even more care, choose your BB cream or CC cream with a sun protection factor, or mix it with your sunscreen.

Makeup care:also for eyes and lips

Having beautiful skin is not enough, we also want to take care of the rest with an eyelash extender serum mascara, a balm lipstick, a plumping gloss, a nail hardener varnish... is the skin that begs for more!
