Jelly Man: 7 jelly texture makeup products
Text: Irina Kuzmicheva
For some time, jelly is not only dessert, but also a cosmetic texture similar to the edible original in properties and appearance. In such formulas, a lot of water, and fat and oil, at least or not at all. Due to its composition, it is usually friendly with the skin in any condition - exceptions, perhaps, constitute dermatological diagnoses. So, the jelly moisturizes the dry and tightened skin, oily and combined - does not overload, and sensitive - does not irritate even more. All of the above advantages are true for decorative gelled products. They are weightless, like a gel, and their pigmentation and stamina is not inferior to tints. Show seven "jelly" means that are interesting to consider and easy to use.
Balm with Lemonhead Glitter LA Glowjam Glitter Balm
$24
Makeup artist Megan Dugan makes "glitter for those who hate glitter." The texture is exactly the marmalade in which the creator decided to pour the sparkle. Paddington Bear would not approve such culinary experiments, and we very much. First, you can decorate them with any part of the body: even the eyebrows, even the earlobes, or the butt. Secondly, if there are not enough three dozen shades, there is an option for $ 50 to come up with your own.
In addition, Lemonhead glitter holds on forever. At last year’s Coachella festival, Sir John, the makeup artist of Beyoncé, decorated the artist’s eyelids with several shades, and, according to him, the makeup was held for twenty hours. And it is possible to get rid of it only with the help of adhesive tape, a scooter for clothes or a dry sponge. If we are talking about music events, neon Glowjam is especially good for them: at night they glow in the lights of discos, and in the daytime they are on their own. A miniature ultraviolet flashlight is attached to each jar - a thing, like a selfie ring for a smartphone, is not the first necessity, but the photos with it are great. By the way, if you are concerned about the environmental side of the issue, here is the opinion of the founder of the brand regarding biodegradable glitter.
Eyes and cheeks Flesh Fleshpot Eye & Cheek Gloss
$20
Indie brand Flesh was thought to the delight of the jensers: inclusive shades, vegan composition, photogenic design. This product is the answer to make-up artists who, before showing, apply lip gloss to the eyelids of the models to create a wet finish. Here are just glitter do not stay in place longer than two minutes, and the Eye & Cheek Gloss jelly - still like. The name is not stated, but the manufacturer gives the go-ahead to use the product not only on the eyelids and cheeks, but also recommends it for lip makeup. And offers to apply to clean skin or on top of makeup. And if you choose a persistent pencil of a dark shade as a base, you will get Smokey-ayz "in the style of a French woman", whatever that means.
Primer Illamasqua Hydra Veil Primer
2924 rub.
In the same texture, the Lumene brand made an oxygen face mask, while the British brand with an intricate name turned out to have a moisturizing makeup base. A transparent gel evens the skin texture, while silicone, the most common component of smoothing primers, is not included. But there is vitamin C, niacinamide and algae extract. So if the skin only needs regular hydration without additional options, the Hydra Veil Primer will completely replace the serum. Before use, the jar can be sent to the refrigerator - then the primer at the same time minimizes morning swelling and invigorates.
Universal Porthole Butter London Glazen Face Glow
$28
The British brand is known primarily for nail polishes, but makeup products are worth a look. The texture of Butter London jelly released shadows, rouge, highlighter and porthole. Shades, compositions and prices of all products are about the same and good, except that the shadows lose the rest in terms of volume - it is two times less. These jelly is elastic, like pudding, with a powdery finish and a wet sheen, one product can easily replace a couple of others. If a particular shade like the wings of the May Beetle is not needed, feel free to take a versatile Face Glow Crystal. This blancmange is convenient to highlight both the entire face and individual zones.
ColourPop Jelly Much Eye Shadow
$8
If you look at a jar of ColourPop from above (and you can do it endlessly), their appearance will resemble a landscape in the porthole of a spaceship. Thematic shade of Half Moon, by the way, is available. In total, there are sixteen duochromes in the assortment, and we must have a serious exposure in order not to want everything. It’s good that the price of space shadows allows you not only to take a few at once, but also to give up on paying for shipping from California, and besides, it will be free if you purchase from $ 50. When applying the main thing - do not hesitate: the gel almost immediately turns into a resistant powder, which will be a plus if the skin of the eyelids is prone to fat.
Missha The Style Tinted Jelly Lips
€5,30
Actually, this product can be called jelly with a stretch: it cannot boast of an elastic texture, but it will please with a bright semi-transparent finish, like in a gelatinous dessert. Pigmentation, like a classic lipstick, should not be expected, but the difference between the shades of mango and strawberry on the lips is still as noticeable. After the first snack, the gloss is erased, but the stein remains on the lips until it meets with the micellar water. Often it is inconvenient to use the means in tubes - you can easily squeeze out too much, and when applying the liquid, it tends to spread beyond the edges of the lips. The Korean brand solved this problem by adding an applicator in the form of a fine artistic brush.
Farsali Jelly Beam Highlighter / Illuminator Highlighter
$40
Almost all Farsali care products give skin a radiance: in the serum-primer Unicorn Essence, a pink shimmer is responsible for this, and in the elixir of Rose Gold Elixir - golden flakes. The moving texture and metallic shades of the Jelly Beam suggest a pot of molten gold that Khal Drogo poured onto Visaris Targaryen’s head. Of course, there is no threat to life in Farsali, but the luminous one, like the timekeeping of the Game of Thrones, has more than enough lights.
Layering the product, you can get different effects: from a barely noticeable flicker to the LED brightness glare. The formula is perfectly combined with liquid, cream and dry textures, so it is easy to experiment with it. For example, apply on the eyelids and on the lips (under lipstick, on top of it or independently), on the collarbones, shoulders and the whole body with or without lotion. And Jelly Beam can be mixed with a tonal tool or basic face cream to add skin freshness.
