Makeup & Skin Care

It may be that the concealer and the illuminator look similar products or that they apply practically for the same thing. But none of that. These are two different products that are used for totally different functions.

In this entry you will be able to understand the difference between corrector and illuminator and to know for what, how and where they should be applied.

# Concealer

We started with the concealer. It is a product that is basically used to cover imperfections or what you do not want to see from your face. You can cover dark circles but also scars, grains or blemishes. The concealer is the perfect solution to easily disguise the small stains and imperfections and to unify the tone of the skin.

How is the corrector applied?

It is applied with a brush of stiffer bristles, with a sponge or with the fingertips. With little touches not to drag the product.

The correct form of application to cover dark circles is following the shape of an inverted triangle and then fade well the contours to integrate with the color of your skin.

When applying the concealer or any other product in the area of the eye contour it is important to do it smoothly and tapeworms to not increase the formation of wrinkles. The skin around the eyes is four times thinner than the rest of the face.

Which corrector tone to choose?

In general, a lighter shade than your base of makeup is used to hide dark circles, grains or stains. But there are other more specific colors like:

For dark circles or violet spots and black dots , better use a yellow concealer.

For blue or very dark circles, the orange corrector is perfect.

For redness or rosacea best test with a beige or green concealer.

For greener veins, you can use a pink or salmon concealer.

What is the order of application?

It is applied generally after the eye contour and moisturizer and before the foundation. But you can reapply after the foundation if you see it necessary, looking to create a more uniform face and no imperfections.

When to use the concealer?

Not all people need corrector, nor at all times it is necessary to apply the corrector. Maybe you do not need it normally but it is convenient to have it in your dresser for possible unforeseen 😉 such as an annoying granite.

In my case I use it always because I have very dark circles and without corrector my eyes look very deep and sad. It is one of my essential products.

Their presentations are varied. You can find concealer in pencil, bar, compact, creamy or liquid.

Ask your Beauty Consultant which is the most appropriate for you and try it in a session of automation or skin care.

Extra tip: apply loose translucent powders over the concealer to seal it 😉

# Illuminator

The illuminator is used to the contrary, to highlight and give light to some areas of your face. With the illuminator you add a touch of luminosity to your cheekbones, chin, under the arch of the eyebrow... in those areas that want to give a touch of natural light.

In general, the illuminator serves to illuminate, highlight or profile.

How is the illuminator applied?

The illuminator is applied with small touches in the areas that you are going to highlight and then blunt with a brush, a sponge or the fingertips.

Where is the illuminator applied?

Fundamental to apply on cheekbones to achieve a fresh and radiant face.

But you should not use it on the bags under the eyes or dark circles, you would draw attention to them. In this case you should use it in the dark area that is just below the swollen area to lift it optically.

If you want to open your eyes put a point of light in the tear and under the arch of the eyebrows. If you want to expand your front gives a touch in the center. If you want to profile the face apply a touch on the chin. To tune the nose apply a line on it and then blurs. To highlight the lips, a touch on the upper lip. You can also apply it on the shoulders and the escoste.

Use the illuminator to highlight the most beautiful areas of your face.

What is the order of application?

I always apply it at the end of the makeup to give the touch of light where it is needed.

You can use it alone or on the basis of makeup and you could retouch during the day.

When to use the illuminator?

It suits you both for a day look and for a night look. Illuminators have particles that attract light. It is a complement to your makeup products to achieve a younger, rested and full of life.

You can find the illuminator in powder, pencil, bar or fluids.

Extra tip: apply the illuminating pencil over the eyebrows in the form of an arc and then blurs to make them look more defined 🙂

Finally, remember to always look for products that do not dry the skin, which have been dermatologically tested against skin irritations and allergies, non-comedogenic, suitable for sensitive and oil-free skins. That way you will not have any unpleasant surprises.

Now you are clearer what is the difference between corrector and illuminator and when and how to use them? Which one is the one you use the most? Do you have a beauty trick with these products? Leave your comments a little lower. I hope you are delighted.

Makeup foundation is one of the basics of makeup ... it is one of the first products we learn to use and it becomes a great tool for special occasions or for girls who need to balance the skin on their face every day.

Tips for Applying as a Professional

1. Distribute a few drops on the side of your hand, mix lightly with a brush.

2. Apply and stretch using a brush from the center of the face towards the ends. Distribute properly with the brush. Continue the application over the whole face without carving, until the base has melted perfectly with your skin. Pay close attention to the area of the nose and the contour of the lips.

3. Be careful of the outer areas of the face. To avoid the 'mask effect', the base must be perfectly diffused when it reaches the hairline and the application should continue under the face until it covers the neck.

At L'Oréal Paris they have an incredible base from the Infallible product line, where their experts reinvented the liquid base formula to offer a long lasting base with maximum coverage and optimum comfort. The secret of the formula? The moisturizing Hyaluron that contributes a hydration continues for a feeling of comfort throughout the day and a finish as of just applied. It also contains extreme fixing pigments for better coverage.

I just tried it and girls, I'm delighted! I do not use makeup every day, but I use it when I have special events or when we have TV appearances (which is when one needs it most).

The result is incredible, covers all the imperfections and leaves the face super matificado (I have problems of face glossy, you know and more when one gets nervous or has the lights focusing to the maximum). But what I liked the most is that it has a very light formula, you do not feel the foundation and moisturizes your skin very rich, that is, they will not feel sore or without elasticity, but it adapts to your skin like a cream.

Within this same line you can also find the Infallible powder, which is the ideal complement for the base, and a line of lips Infallible with super flirty tones that literal last for hours and hours.

There are two types of makeup for the body: artistic makeup or body painting and makeup itself to cover imperfections or spots that could have skin shows. In this opportunity we will delve into the makeup itself. This is ideal for scars, stretch marks or stains that we want to disguise, for a party or some event in which we pretend to be divine.

If we go to a party and make up the face, it is very common for us to notice that the neck, neckline and arms are not in relation to color or that a heterogeneous aspect of the skin is evident.

Body Makeup: Which to Choose and How to Apply to Cover Skin Imperfections

Choosing the right make-up for the body is perhaps a little more complicated than it looks. In principle we must take into account the extent and the place of the body that we intend to make up, what type of clothes we are going to wear and for what type of event we require.

It is necessary to clarify that if we go to a party and we pretend to apply make-up for the face in the body, our dress will be gradually staining in the zones in which it touches the makeup skin. If we go to the beach, maybe it is easier to keep the clothes safe but we will need the base to be water resistant.

We must evaluate the different options:

A good option to take into account is the full sun. This acts as a spray makeup and lasts intact for a couple of days. It is ideal for a party although it is limited its use to the summer by its orange hue. As a similar option we can use self-tanning cream or aerosol.

Body makeup products

Airbrush Legs by Sally Hansen: it's an aerosol makeup. Resistant to water and transfer, that is why it does not stain clothes. There are several shades available, so you can achieve a very natural look by choosing a color similar to your skin. To apply shake well, spray directly on the hand and apply on the skin. We spread homogeneously and let stand for 60 seconds before dressing. The Sally Hansen product line features different types of airbush, some with bronze and even shimming, which are ideal for a gleaming skin in the summer.

Make Up For Ever: is a makeup of very good quality. Your line includes liquid base for the body. The texture is quite light and liquid (oil-free), so it ensures a matte-tone skin. It has a medium coverage, so if you want to cover a scar or spot notorious you should apply corrector in the area.

Covermark: for its properties could be described as an unalterable makeup. It is a base with high hiding power, making it ideal for covering imperfections, spots, scars, moles and tattoos. It has a very good resistance to water and is not transferable, besides providing long duration. It has a fairly wide range in terms of tones. It is recommended to use the fixing powder of the same line for a perfect finish.

How to prepare the skin It is desirable that the skin is clean and free of dead cells before applying the body base, so it is convenient to exfoliate during the bath. We can use a vegetable sponge or exfoliating masks with cleaning granules.

A good exfoliation is essential to clean the skin and eliminate dead cells. This prevents dirt from clogging pores and acne or blackheads.

Different are the causes that cause the pores to appear more open and unsightly. It may be due to the lack of good exfoliating treatments, poor skin care, inheritance, sun damage, black spots, unbalanced diet, etc. In the next article you will learn how to close the pores in a natural way to look much prettier.

Although the models on television, cinema or advertising have a porcelain skin, without any imperfection, people "flesh and blood" often suffer from pores, too open, in some cases, impossible to cover or minimize. Or at least that's what we thought so far. There are different natural remedies that can help you modify the appearance of the pores and your skin in general.

Beauty routine for enlarged pores

Follow the steps of this routine to gradually eliminate the ugly appearance of open or enlarged pores.

Exfoliate twice a week

This will prevent dead skin cells, as well as dirt, from clogging pores and causing acne or blackheads. Use a cotton cloth soaked a little with warm (moist) water and rub it gently on the skin.

Take a steam bath once a week

This will help you open the pores, remove residues, impurities and grease. Then they will return to their natural size. Place a saucepan with boiling water and when it boils, turn off the fire, bring the face close, covering your head with a towel. Just as you would do to make yourself vapors if you are sick. Rinse with warm water and dry carefully.

Apply a face mask.

Once you have finished the steam bath, the pores will be wide open, so that any treatment you do will give you better results. The most recommended are clay masks, because they eliminate acne and absorb excess fat, but also reduce the size of the pores.

Clean your face every morning When you get up

The first thing you should do is wash your face with warm or warm water and apply a homemade facial cleanser. This is done by mixing half a cup of water, ¼ cup of milk, two tablespoons of baking soda and an egg white. They will cleanse your pores deeply and remove surface bacteria that could clog pores. Rub gently and rinse with warm water.

Hydrates with aloe vera

This plant has many properties for well-being and skin care. Aloe Vera will help tone the face, control imperfections and protect you from external agents. You can have an aloe vera plant at home, cut a penca and extract the internal gel. Apply on face and allow to dry before rinsing.

Home Remedies for Open Pores

Pay close attention to the following natural recipes to say goodbye to open pores especially on the face:

Lemon juice

This citrus has the ability to remove skin blemishes but also to improve the overall appearance of the dermis. To make the effect even more effective and reduce open pores it is recommended to combine with pineapple. The ingredients are:

The juice of 1 lemon

The juice of 1 pineapple

Mix both and apply on the face already washed with neutral soap. If you have very sensitive skin, you better use a good moisturizer. Remember that this remedy should be applied at night and before bed because the contact of the acid of the fruit with the sun generates an effect to nothing desirable.

Yoghurt

This dairy not only serves to regularize the intestine but also has very good external applications for aesthetics. In this case, it is proven that it acts to close the pores. Once a week, apply a face mask on yogurt. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water.

Egg white

There are many properties of this part of the egg for our beauty (for example to make a hair mask). It tonifies the dermis and gradually reduces the enlarged pores. Beat an egg white with a fork and apply a thin layer to the face. Leave on for 20 minutes and then rinse with warm water. You can repeat up to 3 times a week.

Orange juice

This is an economical homemade recipe to reduce the ugly appearance of open pores. The nitric acid in this fruit will make a natural scrub and cleanse your pores. Vitamin C will reaffirm the skin. Squeeze an orange and soak a cotton in the juice, which you will apply on the skin. Another option is to cut the orange in half and go through the face. In any case, let it act for five minutes and rinse well with cold water. Do not do this treatment during the day or if you are going out on the street, because the sun can stain your face. It is best to have it at night.

Oatmeal Mask

Place a cup of oats in a food processor or blender. Grind until dusty. Pour 1/2 cup of warm water and stir well until a paste is formed. Apply on face and leave until completely dry. Rinse skin with warm water.

Ice cubes

Take some ice cubes from the refrigerator. Pass them directly on the face, no more than 30 seconds so that the skin does not burn. You will get an immediate tension effect. Ideal to do after bathing.

Sodium bicarbonate

Make a paste by mixing baking soda and warm water in equal parts. With circular movements, massage on the face for about 30 seconds and rinse with cold water. Repeat for a full week and the next week reduce to three times.
