Hide redness and pimples to enhance your skin
Let’s start with these unsightly little buttons. To avoid igniting the pimple, prefer a covering pen without greasy substance. Take a color as close as possible to the skin tone of your face. Apply the product with a flat brush (hygiene issue). Perform a cross movement. This makes it possible to cover the button better and not to remove the product already put on. Secure with powder. If the pimple is dry, correct it with a layer of moisturizing concealer. Apply by patting to modulate the coverage. The trick: instead of powder, take a matte eye shadow in a neutral tone. This will set the concealer, but without the “heavy” effect of the powder.
You don’t have pimples (lucky!) But sometimes redness. We generally recommend applying a powder, a base or a little green stick. The problem is that you will have to add other cosmetics because the green color gives a too light complexion. You can also use a 100% yellow stick, but generally the result is a little too sharp. The ideal is therefore to choose a foundation or a powder with beige yellow pigments.. This correction will cancel the purplish effect of the skin while remaining light. The trick: it is better to work locally for a more natural effect.
No pimples, no redness but often you find your complexion rather dull and unflattering. Several options are possible. You can take an apricot light reflective foundation to warm up the complexion or pink (if you have fair skin) for radiance. In the evening, if you want opaline skin, opt for a little bluish; to clarify the complexion, prefer the color amethyst. Another option: a pink or bluish-pink blush will give you a healthy glow. Finally, you can choose a golden or copper sun powder according to your skin tone.
The trick: these different options can be combined.
Be careful with your eyes: too small, circled …
Do you find your eyes too small? We start by enlarging the eyes by applying a light eye shadow (off-white, blotting pink, soft beige…), mat for the natural or iridescent to capture the light, on the mobile eyelid and the top of the arch. Then, in order to highlight the natural crucible of the eyelid (the center of the eyelid), we have a more sustained shadow with a movement of an arc of a circle or a cone if the arch is very small. Then use a lengthening mascara and a clear kohl pencil (pink, beige, white…) inside the eye to enlarge it. Last step: brush your eyebrows upwards.
The trick: to emphasize the look, apply a touch of pearl under the eye in the inner and outer corners horizontally.
The other defect often deplored: dark circles. If the ring is pink in color, just put a touch of beige yellow concealer below the eye. In the case of a very light ring, you can simply cancel the colored effect with a touch of radiance style. On the other hand, if the ring is more present (bluish), use an orange concealer. Finally, if the ring is accompanied by a crucible, choose a concealer with light reflecting particles to give volume.
The trick: heat the product between the middle finger and the thumb, apply it by tapping to illuminate the shadow effect.
A finer nose, a fuller mouth
Is your nose a little wide? Lightly shade the sides of the nose with a sun powder. Then, a touch of clear powder applied from top to bottom on the bridge of the nose will strengthen its narrowness. The trick: in the evening, put a clear illuminating powder on the bridge of your nose to highlight it.
If you want a fuller mouth, you will need two lip contours. First a light beige to pulp the outer edge of the lip. And a contour of the lips in a tone more sustained than that of your mouth to outline and flesh out your natural hem. Use a preferably light lipstick to enlarge the inside of the lip. The trick: for a more puffy effect, apply a touch of gloss to capture the light.
A trompe-l’oeil face
If you want to refine your face, shade the center of the cheekbone crucible with sun powder and stretch the shadow effect above the ear. Do it with a brush. For a more contrasting effect, apply a touch of light powder to the top of the cheekbones and temples. The trick: in the evening, for further correction, place some clear under the jawbones.
If, on the contrary, your face is too thin, even out the complexion with a slightly light foundation, it is important not to darken it. To gain in pulp and shape the cheekbone, use highlighter powder followed by light blush on top. The trick: for a brighter effect, start with the blush and add the powder afterwards.
