Mascara for eyebrows, highlighter with wow-effect … Now we will find out what kind of cosmetics beauty blogger and our editor of the “Beauty and Health” column Alik Zhukova use.
“All my friends know that on my dressing table you can easily find a dozen eye shadow palettes, about 30 lipsticks of different shades and the same number of eyeliners. It is very difficult to highlight favorites, even if you are an experienced beauty editor! Therefore, today I will not evaluate and compare the jars, but just tell you about the products that I myself use every day. “
Perfect tone and shine
Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation, Lancôme is probably the most popular foundation among women. Firstly, the product perfectly masks skin imperfections, and secondly, evens out the tone and mattifies – what I need as a girl with a combination skin type. At the same time, the product has a light coating that does not cover my freckles, which is a big plus. More recently, the brand expanded its palette and now sells 24 shades, so you can easily pick your own.
The problem of dark circles under the eyes worries me as much as a million girls around the world. Therefore, the second tool in my cosmetic bag is a concealer, which can mask all the imperfections. My last favorite is Ultra HD Concealer, Make Up For Ever. It literally brightens the skin around the eyes and neutralizes dark circles. In addition, it also moisturizes the skin.
Highlighter has remained an indispensable makeup tool for several years. Previously, I only used dry highlighters, but when I tried the creamy Bouncy Highlighter, Givenchy, from last year’s summer collection, I realized that I couldn’t find a better one. It has the perfect sparkling texture with a natural glow.
Eye Makeup
Ombre Matte, Clarins, shade 04 sets off my gray-green eyes perfectly. The biggest plus of these eyeshadows is that they are easy to blend and can be applied not only with a brush, but also with your fingers.
I was always afraid to use gel eyeliners due to the fact that I could not draw a beautiful arrow. But Instroke Eyeliner, Shiseido, is very easy to apply, especially with their curved brush.
Eyeshadow Full Matte Shadow, Yves Saint Laurent, I always drive in the car, because they can be easily applied while sitting in traffic. They have a creamy texture that blends in a minute.
If I do natural makeup, I always use the brown Volume Effect Faux Cils, Yves Saint Laurent, which creates the effect of false eyelashes. And on special days I always use black Supra Volume, Clarins – she makes eyelashes like a doll’s.
Without mascara Couture Brow, Yves Saint Laurent, in principle, I do not go out. It not only gives the hairs a darker shade, but also fixes them securely.
Lip makeup
I almost always paint my lips with pink lipstick. My favorites are Crushed Lip Color, Bobbi Brown, a rich shade and long-lasting pigment. Also Sexy Gloss Tint, Romanovamakeup. It perfectly moisturizes lips and gives them a seductive look.
