The mascara that makes eyelashes grow
Omnipresent in makeup, skincare is now taking over our mascaras. With great reinforcements of complexes inspired by hair research (growth activators based on peptides, vitamins, collagen, quinoa proteins, extracts of roses, algae …), the latter, in addition to filling and lengthening the eyelashes, strengthen their anchoring and stimulate their regrowth. You can see a real difference in a month of daily use. Why deprive yourself of it? Apply well to the root of the eyelash, at the edge of the epidermis (this is where everything plays out on the eyelash growth side).
The complexion serum
If, usually, you hate foundation because you find that it plumbs radiance, marks wrinkles or freezes features, you will love these serum foundations presented in a pump-bottle, whose formula mixes in equal parts. care and makeup. Fluid, fine and enveloping, they infuse the complexion with light, perfectly unify without material effect, while caring for the skin (sugars, hibiscus seed extract, vitamin E, etc.). Optically active, they correct the color of the complexion (this tends to become more yellow over time), thanks to “chameleon” pigments coated with amino acids. Their serum texture, in perfect harmony with the skin, stretches as desired and immediately blends into the complexion, by smoothing the features, all with a hydrating and comfortable feeling. With them, no feeling of suffocating skin, and goodbye the mask effect! Shake them well before use, heat them a little in the palm of your hand before applying them, so that they merge more with your skin. If you want to get an even more natural effect, put them on your skin care cream before it has penetrated, this will have the effect of slightly diluting the pigments.
Metallic eye shadow
No need to rebel, you will not escape it! This new expression of color that is inspired by modern architecture and its materials (glass, metal structures…) leaves a veil of light crackling on the eyelids. Thanks to a high proportion of mother-of-pearl, mica, crystalline polymers, sparkling pigments… it makes the color of the iris vibrate, enhances its radiance and enhances the eyes like no other. Among the flagship colors, several trends emerge: muted and cold tones, close to molten metals (bronze, gold, pewter, metallic taupe, chrome steel …), enigmatic colors with nocturnal sex appeal (purples, deep blue almost black, disturbing plums) and frankly colored tones, even fluorescent (blue electric, absinthe green or peacock green…). To tame it, apply it only in the center of the mobile eyelid. It is particularly pretty because at the slightest flutter of the eyelashes, it creates a little sparkling sparkle. On the other hand, forget about metallic eye shadow if your eyelids are wrinkled, or choose a light shade to apply only in the inner corner of the eye, where there are no wrinkles!
Retro powder
Rice powder is making a comeback. Free and subtly illuminating, it revives the refined gesture of a powder puff that envelops the complexion in softness and leaves it fresh like a rose. With its vintage look and its scent with notes of iris and rose, it cultivates the air of yesteryear by combining it with today’s technologies (ultra-fine powder, non-drying formula). And dermatologists love it because, inert, it coats the skin with a protective film which shields pollution and external aggressions. With her, the complexion is always clean and well-groomed, and she fixes the makeup for a long time. For a flawless finish, powder your entire face with a powder puff by tapping or rocking movements, from the bottom to the top of the face, then remove the excess with a large brush. Insist on the T zone (chin, wings of the nose, forehead), but keep the light hand around the eyes. For a more natural result, apply it with a brush.
Eyebrow mascara
The eyebrow, in the spotlight this fall, must be fleshed out, drawn and fixed. These tinted mascaras fill in the gaps in sparse eyebrows and discipline rebellious ears, without making a big splash. Enriched with fibers or transparent and light pigments, they blend together ideally, offering a much more natural and diffuse result than with a pencil. Easy to use, they transform the look, giving it presence and structure. We adopt them without hesitation … Choose a shade close to your natural eyebrows, a darker half-tone if your eyebrows are blond. If there is too much material on the brush, wipe off the excess on a tissue. After brushing the eyebrow dry, brush it gently, without pressing. One pass is enough.
Cocoon lipstick
This tinted balm – a little the equivalent of a BB cream for the lips because it also often contains an SPF to protect them from the sun – heals as much as it colors and will become our new bag “blanket”. It contains much more nourishing agents than a classic lipstick (shea butter, centella asiatica, aloe, honey, mango butter, cherry stone oil…) and moisturizes our always dry lips for 8 hours in a row, all with a “bare lip” sensation. On the program, gourmet shades (from sugar plum pink to cherry red), fruity scents and baby’s lips, plump and plump. Good to know: you can apply them as many times as you want during the day.
Kohl mascara
These 2 in 1 mascaras combine volume with the power of kohl black. Highly pigmented and very black, they deposit on and between the eyelashes a supple cream texture enriched with intense black powder which hems the inner edge of the lower eyelid, like a kohl or kajal pencil. They create a look of hell, oriental and sophisticated at will. The result is quite spectacular, especially on light eyes. They are self-sufficient and do not need any other eye makeup.
The “Indian summer” blush
Apricot coral, summer superstar, plays overtime this fall on the cheeks ! By associating pink and orange, these powder blushes enhance all skin tones (even more if you have a little bit of tan left), leaving a fresh and appetizing complexion. Little tip: layer two blushes of the same shade, in two different textures (cream and powder), to reinforce hold and healthy glow. You can also place two lipstick confetti on your cheekbones, blending well towards the temples, before applying the powder blush.
The foolproof eyeliner
The comma eye is in order this season, moreover, the brands have concocted pencils, liquids or gels eyeliners (but always intense black), really smart. That they have a ergonomic shape (Sephora), a mouthpiece eraser to erase smudges (Bourjois) or a trident shaped foam applicator to make an easy point-by-point route (Clarins), the most clumsy can use them. Eyeliner pencil that cuts itself every time you remove its cap, or 2-in-1 applicator allowing you to make a thin or thick line in a jiffy, you no longer have any excuse not to move the lines! For a discreet look that awakens the eyes, draw a thin line along the lash line, starting from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye. Stop in the middle of the upper eyelid. The most daring can draw a fine line in the crease of the upper eyelid, for a very seventies graphic style.
The smoky nail
This smoky, smoky, shimmering gray is the new black. Precious and elegant, enriched with micro-glitter or studded with silver sparkles, he turns the nail into a jewel. The impact of this color will be increased tenfold if your nails are impeccable (short and perfectly manicured, with a perfect nail contour). The detail that changes everything: a little oil on the contours, once the varnish is dry.
