Leading Russian makeup artist Elena Krygina told Woman’s Day that she needs to take her on vacation so that her skin and makeup are at their best even on the farthest trip.
Thermal water (and also juniper, rose water) or makeup fixer, which can be purchased at cosmetics and perfumery stores. These products moisturize the skin, remove flaking. The fixative spray will additionally glue all subsequent layers, which means that the makeup will last for a long time.

Serum… This super-thin coating does not provide powerful care, but allows the skin to look good right away. The product can be used alone or under your main cream. The mineral-rich emulsion will make the skin elastic in just 10 minutes, which will help to remove crow’s feet around the eyes and nasolabial folds. You need to apply very little serum to the center of the face: it is the most problematic.

Gel for eyebrows… Even if you have once spoiled the shape of your eyebrows with tweezers, nothing prevents you from correcting them with gel. With it, you draw a new line of eyebrows, paint over the space between the hairs, the hairs themselves, and add volume. It is better to paint with a special beveled brush. Comb your eyebrows before starting work.

Luminaire… The product provides a moisturizing effect on the skin and gives it a radiance. When using the luminizer in the future, you will have to tint your face less. A thin layer of foundation will help avoid the mask effect. This is the secret of most makeup artists: apply 5 thin layers of different products instead of one, but thick.

Concealer… Concealer will help remove dark circles, capillaries and other imperfections. The product should be applied with a special tool: a brush or sponge. It is better to refuse fingers, because under the influence of human temperature, the agent begins to thaw and behave differently on the skin. It can fade, accentuate the relief and wrinkles. Be sure to work out the upper eyelid with the product.
MINERALIZE SKINFINISH, MAC
Mineral powder… It is easy to apply, does not clog pores and allows skin to breathe. It lays down in a very thin layer, but, despite this, it perfectly masks all visible imperfections. Gives the skin extra radiance, does not create shine, and also improves blood microcirculation. Gather a very small amount of funds on the brush and use light movements over the entire face, moving from the edge to the central part. If you overdo it, you can get white spots on the face in the photographs: the powder contains titanium, which is used, for example, for reflective stripes on the vest of a traffic police officer.

Beige pencil… With a bold line, underline the curve of the eyebrow, going slightly beyond the edges. Blend lightly with a cotton swab while maintaining contrast. This little secret will help to visually tighten the entire face.
