Choosing & Applying The Perfect Makeup Foundation

June 7th, 2010

Beautiful makeup requires the perfect make-up foundation.
Foundation creates a blank canvas on the face to which colour is added: eye shadow, blush & lipstick. It is also the setting agent. It is also the setting agent for these products acting as a barrier between the colour & the skin’s own natural oils, which would otherwise dissolve the make-up. But because it covers the largest area of the face, foundation needs to blend seamlessly with the skin.

Foundations for differing Skin Types

Before buying new foundation there are two areas of concern that need to be addressed.
Firstly, the foundation must complement your skin type.

Oily Skin; For oily skin that is prone to shine, an oil-free formulation will hinder the production of excess oil, and most contain extra powder particles to dry any oil produced.

Normal Skin; Normal skin can take pretty much any formulation, but a liquid will give ample coverage without looking caked or heavy. Dry skin needs make-up foundation with extra moisturisers to keep it supple, and to prevent the skin from drinking in the makeup. A cream make-up formulation will last longer and also hydrate.

Foundation Colours

The best time to pick a colour is when your skin is at its most natural shade. So, after your holidays or morning after self tanning applications are not the best time. The best place to try mak-up is on the jaw line.
Basically, foundation colour falls into two categories;

  • Foundation bases with yellow tones
  • Foundation bases with pick tones

The most common yellow-toned skin types are Asian, sallow and black skin, whereas fair skin has generally has pink tones.
It is important to choose a foundation that matches your skin’s base, otherwise the make-up will not blend well, no matter how you apply it.

Applying make-up foundations

Oily Skin; With oily skin, the application of oil-free formulas needs to be fast, as they dry speedily. Using clean fingers to apply small does to the areas most in need of coverage is the best way; simply do each area at a time until the face is complete.

Normal Skin; For normal skin, the choice of cream-to-powder liquid or powder foundation can change how much time you spend applying it. Cream-to-powder is best applied with a sponge, starting in the centre of the face and working outwards; its done in a matter of monents. Liquid foundation looks more natural applied with a foundation brush. Again work the brush outwards, taking care to use less around the eye area. Powder or mineral make-up foundation should be applied with a large powder brush; while it will not give the same level of coverage as a liquid, it is a great makeup for those who are pressed for time.

Dry Skin; For dry skin, cream foundation moves well around the face, and a little goes a long way. Dry skin tends to have few blemishes, so concentrate on areas that need coverage, and leave clear areas bare: this is why getting the right colour match is vital.

Dermalogica Age Smart Launched

June 7th, 2010

The New Age Smart Range from Dermalogica, which is designed specifically for anti-ageing has now been launched in the UK & Ireland and is now available at Care4yourskin.com

Most products positioned as “anti-aging” products promise to minimize, and even erase, the manifestations of skin aging, such as wrinkles. There are products that can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, but no wrinkle is completely curable. A better approach would be to treat skin aging at the source by addressing the actual biochemical reactions that trigger these changes in skin before they start.

Dermalogica is introducing AGE Smart, which works by impacting the main biochemical reactions that manifest the signs of skin aging: the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS – also known as free radicals), the generation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the development of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs).

The range includes a vast amount of products such as:

  • New Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF30
  • New Skin Resurfacing Cleanser
  • New Antioxidant HydraMist
  • Super Rich Repair
  • New Renewal Lip Complex
  • New Map-15 Regenerator

*Available Now at Care4yourskin.com with 23% OFF RRP Price

Three Make-Up Routines in No Time

Modern beauty style is about being flexible, easy, and ever changing. Here are three beauty routines that will always have you looking your best.

5 Minute Make Up Routine

  • Creamy concealer under eyes to cover dark circles.
  • Tinted moisturizer or stick foundation around the base of the nose where there’s redness.
  • Brown or black mascara if you’re fair; skip it if you have dark lashes.
  • Cream blush stick on apples of cheeks.
  • Lip balm or lip gloss..

10 Minute Make-up Routine

It’s a full face of makeup, but it’s quick and creates a polished, pulled-together look.

  • Concealer on dark under-eye circles.
  • Foundation all over face.
  • Sheer face powder for a lasting smooth look.
  • Shape and define brows with brow brush and eye shadow toned to your natural hair color.
  • Light eye shadow from lashes to brow bone; medium eye shadow from upper lashes to crease; dark eye shadow for lining upper lashes; and one or two coats of black mascara.
  • Neutral blush with a brighter shade of blush applied on top for a pop of color.
  • Lipstick and gloss.

20 Minute Makeup Routine

Glam it up for a special event by picking cooler colors and textures and adding definition.

  • Same concealer, foundation, and powder as the 10-minute makeup routine.
  • Define brows with eye shadow and/or pencil.
  • For easy glamour, try shimmery eye shadow.
  • Smudge a medium eye-shadow color in the crease of the lid to contour for a more dramatic eye.

Diamond DE-Ageing Skincare Treatment

June 1st, 2010

Diamonds really can put a glow on a girl’s face – even without a trip to Tiffany’s. According to Patrick Bowler at the Court House Clinic, the latest advance in skin restructuring is DiamondTome, a new type of microdermabrasion that uses real diamonds. Madonna is a fan..

Why is it Hot?
‘Unlike older microdermabrasion which blasts skin with loose crystals it uses a wand tipped with diamond chips to polish the skin,’ explains Patrick. ‘There are no loose abrasives, so you don’t risk breathing in crystal dust or getting it embedded in your skin, which can cause irritation in some people.’

What are the results like?
Diamond Tone softens wrinkles, evens skin tone and boosts skin radiance. Have a one-off fix or go for a course to tackle hyperpigmentation, sun damage or age spots.

Costs from ?55
Available at www.courthouseclinic.com or www.transforminglives.co.uk
