In hot weather, you don’t want to use dense tonal products at all. But you always want to have an even skin tone and a healthy complexion. We talk about products with light textures that will help solve this problem.
Changing makeup with the advent of the new season is not at all a whim. In winter, the skin needs more nutrition and protection, and therefore we often resort to denser and more saturated products. In the summer, if it turned out to be warm, such textures will not work – they will create a greenhouse effect, add an oily sheen, and in some cases can even contribute to the appearance of sebaceous plugs and inflammation.
Experts also insist that we must protect the skin from the sun, even if we do not plan a long walk under the scorching rays, and this is another cosmetic layer. So, it’s time to go hunting for the lightest foundations, fluids and other products.
Many of those who are not used to a translucent foundation are afraid to move on to a light foundation – it seems that it will not cope with the task of evening out skin tone and hiding what people prefer to hide for whatever reason. For some, these are freckles, for others – minor inflammation or uneven pigmentation.
The modern cosmetic agenda, fortunately, offers to relax and stop considering such “imperfections” as imperfections. However, not everyone is ready for such an “exposure” yet. That is why brands are working on creating tools that can, on the one hand, hide everything you want, and on the other, remain weightless and invisible.
Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Estée Lauder, Lumene, Oriflame and many others have released such tonal products in recent years. They are easy to apply with fingers, brush or sponge, merge with the natural skin color and do not oxidize during the day. The latter is important, since oxidation can affect the tone of the product, making it darker and more yellow.
Unlike dense tonal products, such products can be layered, making the coating less transparent, and it is not necessary to apply the second and subsequent layers on the entire face – you can only on those areas that, in your opinion, require it.
You will need very little highlighter, and you need to apply it on the protruding parts of the face – those that “cling” the light the most
Foundation is not the only way to freshen up your complexion. Thanks to a light tan, the face looks rested, but experts treat it, to put it mildly, not very favorably. A pleasant darkening of the skin, alas, indicates cell damage by ultraviolet rays.
But this does not mean that our only choice is noble pallor.
It is enough to apply on the cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose and chin – in general, on the protruding parts of the face – a little tanning powder or cream tanning agent. And the face will instantly look like it was “kissed by the sun”, as in English they call the slight effect of “tanning”. And it is worth adding a drop of liquid or powder highlighter, and the skin will seem visually smoother and more radiant.
The main thing is not to overdo it, so as not to shine like a Christmas toy: it will take very little money, and you need to apply it, like tanning powder, on the protruding parts of the face – those that “cling” the light the most.
Add to this a slightly noticeable blush – a pinkish or peach shade – and the reflection in the mirror will show a rested and pleasantly idle person, even if you have not had a vacation for too long.
