Beautiful words: How to understand makeup artist and beauty blogger
Wonderzine compiled a dictionary of cosmetic terms, understandable and informative. We did not consider easily translated words like “liner”, but chose more ambiguous ones. In the first issue we explain what words anyone should know who does not want to get lost in the cosmetic department or understand what beauty bloggers write about.
In a broad sense - everything that gives the skin a shade of tan or enhances it. But more often, the bronzer is powder, it is much darker and - not always - the redder skin color, which draws and emphasizes the relief of the face; and bronzer - cream, "to better tan".
Example: I have very pale skin, what a bronzer to me. (The editors disagree with this statement.)
In a broad sense again - large sparkles, in the narrow - nail polish with them. The shape of the particles can be very different: the sparkles are round, hexagonal, square, curly (for example, in the form of stars). Lucky glitters love not only beauty, but also because they hold on better than any other - but we already figured it out.
Example: Sorry for not answering - the hands were busy, the hour was washed away by glitter.
Eyeliner. Kayals, in comparison with ordinary pencils, are much softer (because, among other things, the risk of injury to the skin is reduced) and less resistant - the arrows cannot be drawn by them, but you can safely sum up the mucous membrane - the very composition of the slate and the dye suggests this.
Example: For "opening up" the look, the best thing is not white, but beige kaial.
The most effective way to make the eyelashes bend - curling them, coupled with heating; Curlers do it. Their design may vary, but the safest, perhaps, akin to the one that recently released Dior, giving rise to considerable hype (although the curler is not a new thing at all, especially in the Asian market).
Example: The curler is a 99 level eyelash curler.
Need to mask problem areas of the skin. In theory, the concealer must be dense and blend in with the skin to mask, for example, redness, and the corrector overlaps this redness due to its complimentary greenish tint. But this division is very theoretical, concealers and proofreaders are often confused, so when choosing a means you need to keep in mind that both pieces are used for point corrections, and focus on your feelings, and not on the name.
Example: I can not do anything with bruises under my eyes - I just gloss over with concealer.
Guerlain Meteorites - cult (precisely) powder, pressed into the characteristic multi-colored balls. "Meteorites" were issued more than once; Depending on the color of the balls and the number of the shimmer in them, each jar was positioned as translucent powder, rouge, bronzer and highlighter. Gerlenovsky balls are the most famous, but the word "meteorites" has become a household word - this is the name for any powder in the balls.
Example: I hunted for Asian "meteorites" for half a year and finally found it!
These are friable shadows that can be put not only on the eyelids: they muffle the gloss of lipstick, give color to a translucent lacquer, and some shimmering pigment can be added to a body cream or hair gel. A lot of professional brands like M.A.C and Make Up For Ever have a lot of pigments - they all love multi-functional tools.
Example: I mixed the pigment with broken lipstick, it turned out new and cool.
Base for makeup. There are primers for mascaras, lipsticks, eyeshadows, tonal means - all of them so that the cosmetics stay longer and better on the face: the tone did not highlight imperfections such as peeling, the contour of the lipstick and the shadows “did not float”, and the mascara was easier washed off and applied to the eyelashes .
Example: I can not wear matte lipstick without a primer, my lips instantly dry.
Means for highlighting the protruding areas of the face. Highlighters can be creamy, powdery or resembling a lotion in consistency, but this is always a single-function tool with a suspension of the smallest sparkles, even mother-of-pearl — for example, a highly tinted highlighter is rather a blush or a bronzer.
Example: With this tonal face is so flat, you need to go highlighter.
Small glitters that make it shimmer or give depth to shades of lacquers, lipsticks, highlighters and other means. They usually speak about him in the context of decorative cosmetics - you can’t go wrong if you say “body lotion with shimmer”, but the Russian word “sparkles” has not been canceled yet.
Example: I bought one more varnish with a company shimmer.
