How can you not see in the mirror a “panda” with mascara smeared on his face after a snowfall? Waterproof makeup products will help you be irresistible at any time of the year.
We are sure that you have found yourself in situations where, after a heavy snowfall, your mascara was imprinted on your face, and your eyeliner was smeared from contact with water. In such situations, you have to fix your makeup and worry if something like this will happen to you again. So that the makeup lasts as long as possible and no snow or rain becomes an obstacle, professional makeup artist, face building instructor Lyudmila Terskikh told Woman`s Day what waterproof makeup products must be in a cosmetic bag.
A waterproof foundation is a must-have for every woman’s makeup bag. It helps us look great in all life situations: it ensures a comfortable stay in the pool, in snowy and rainy weather. Water-resistant creams usually contain highly volatile silicones and mineral oils, which create a kind of film that prevents water from reacting with foundation. A protective layer is created on the surface of the skin, preventing the penetration of moisture and oxygen. With the frequent use of such cosmetics, the water balance of the epidermis is disturbed, which ultimately leads to an increased oily face due to increased production of sebum. And as a result, the formation of acne and other problems on the skin is possible. The recommended time for “wearing” the foundation is two hours. And then carefully do make-up removal with special means.
But if the situation simply obliges you to be beautiful both in the snow and in the rain, you need to choose high-quality tonal means. One of them – foundation waterproof Atelier, which belongs to the class of professional cosmetics.
Pros: has an excellent moisture-resistant effect. Creates a perfectly even tinted finish. Well hides the imperfections of the skin.
Cons: minus, it is also a plus – this is a too even ideal face, which requires further full make-up with face modeling. The foundation can only be washed off with special makeup removers.
During the snow and rainy season, we especially think about eye makeup. Salvation at such a time of year is the use of waterproof or super-resistant mascara. Moisture resistant mascaras consisting of liquid paraffin, animal wax, vegetable wax, elastic silicone are widely used.
When choosing mascara, you should pay attention to the consistency, smell, date of manufacture, and the shape of the brush. And I am glad that there are tools, using which you can be 100% sure that everything is in order with the makeup.
