Text: Moore Sobolev, authoring the telegram-channel Fierce & Cute
We love bright colors in makeup and we often write about them., but someone is much more interesting makeup without makeup - and in such a case, too, have their own means. Cosmetic "invisible" exist in a huge variety of textures, rich in amazing effects and help out in those days when you do not want to deny yourself the pleasure of make-up, but you do not want a rainbow on your face. Moore Sobolev shows interesting and convenient tools that are definitely worth their considerable money.
Moisturizing Toning Fluid Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer
3549 rub.
It was Chanel that in 2013 launched the trend for shine - after a decade of dense tonal resources and endless magazine punchlines, it seems like “this season in the fashion“ perfect ”skin“ the brand gave a completely different concept. Not to hide, gloss over and hide, but to show the natural appearance, only slightly emphasizing it. Les Beiges has become one of the most popular lines at Chanel, which the brand is endlessly improving and replenishing: this year came out very beautiful colored lip balms, palettes of shadows and light moisturizing tonal means with SPF.
Palette of shadows of Rouge Bunny Rouge Raw Garden in a shade of Luna
3920 rub.
Many customers find it difficult to wade through the whimsical vignettes of Rouge Bunny Rouge copywriters, and therefore they ignore the brand - and, alas, deprive themselves of much. In particular, Rouge Bunny Rouge make exemplary shadows: blogs are rarely focused on this, but their formula is one of the best on the market. They are powdery, but soft, not “dusty”, dense, very pigmented and blend practically on their own. The limited palette of Luna included five matte shades from a permanent ruler - and the perfect nude palette was obtained.
Toning Caudalie French Kiss Lip Balm in Seduction Shade
750 rub.
Close to the heart of every lover of wine, the brand deals only with care - and the series of lip balms in jars, which the brand made a few months ago, was in fact the first Caudalie experience in make-up. Balm exists in three shades: red Addiction, pale pink Innocence and our pink beige Seduction. The color on the lips will be almost imperceptible - this is what is called, touch of color, a light-light shade. So the tool can be safely attributed to the caregivers - especially since the French Kiss does an excellent job with this function.
Sunscreen BB Cream Shiseido Sports BB
2730 rub.
Sunscreens are traditionally Shiseido's forte (Japanese and Korean brands really make the most powerful sanskrins, and this is not an urban legend). Recently, the brand introduced WetForce technology - according to the brand, sunscreens in the products made according to it become more effective when in contact with the sun and water. Equipped with this technology, BB cream is designed for an active lifestyle, comes out in the sunscreen line and has an SPF of 50. Just remember that in order to effectively protect you should apply a generous amount of the product on your face.
Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl Lip Gloss in Coral Graffiti Shade
2249 rub.
Givenchy and their creative director of make-up, the great Nicolas Dezhenna, have a busy year: the brand restarts the primers, made new lipsticks Le Rouge Liquid (by the way, great) and updated lip gloss. Dezhenn made a new formula of a hybrid of vinyl varnish and classic lip gloss: Gloss Interdit Vinyl has a non-sticky texture and luxurious mirror gloss. Coral Graffiti is a light hint of a coral shade, enlivening the complexion, and small cute glitters, visible only in direct light.
Bronzer Perricone MD No Bronzer Bronzer
4160 rub.
The serious dermatological brand Perricone MD has a separate, almost playful make-up line - No Makeup Makeup. This includes "rouge - not rouge", "lipstick - not lipstick" and, in particular, "bronzer - not bronzer". It is a matte fluid, packed in a bottle with a pipette: you can mix the bronzer in the foundation, you can drip on the brush or immediately on the face. No Bronzer Bronzer perfectly "enters" into the skin and is really perfect for imitating a light tan. Keep in mind: despite the name, the agent is very pigmented.
Lime Crime Plushies Lipstick Tint Turkish Delight
1990 rub.
Spring new tireless brand - a charming series of liquid lipsticks Plushies with an unusual formula. This is not liquid lipstick in its usual sense (it is not dense), but not tint (it is not absorbed into the lips tightly and does not dry), but something in between - a light fine texture, a very beautiful semi-matte finish and a surprisingly non-dry formula. The Turkish Delight hue is a slightly dusty pink, at the same time a fresh and soothing color.
The sculptor Make Up For Ever Artist Face Color in shade S112
1500 rub. for refil
Make Up For Ever in recent years, globally updated almost the entire range: pencils, eyeliners, mascara, eye shadow, lipstick. Last year, it was the turn of the face makeup products: blush, highlighters and sculptors are now united under the common name Artist Face Color, sold in refels and allow you to complete the palettes of your choice. In the new line, there is a lot of beautiful, but special attention should be paid to the sculpturing blush - there are correct non-vivid shades for very light skin, from which the sculptor will not look like a dirty stripe on his face, but will lay down the most natural shadow.
Toning drops Erborian BB Drops
3490 rub.
Last year, the creators of one of the best BB creams in the world made toning drops that you can add to your morning cream or sanskrin to create the most natural tone. Firstly, it is economical (a tube of concentrate is enough for a long time), and secondly, it is convenient for those who cannot find the perfect tone for themselves or don’t want to hold several tubes with varying degrees of coverage. In general, the idea of tinting concentrate does not belong to Erborian (at least in the Russian market, Clinique and Rouge Bunny Rouge have such a thing), but it is the Korean-French brand that can embody strange cosmetic notions so that everyone would like to buy them.
Benefit Gimme Brow Brow Mascara
2000 rub.
The long-running Benefit bestseller experienced a complete restart of a series of eyebrows, several perturbations with a formula - and last fall he returned to the stores again. This is a dense gel with fibers, which “thicken” the eyebrows, but the hairs in the Gimme Brow are completely invisible. Toning mascara (exists in eight successful shades), well captures the shape, and the degree of density of the coating is easy to vary: you can only slightly combed, filling the natural voids between the hairs, and you can make the notorious wolf eyebrows.
Shadow Pencil Romanovamakeup Sexy Eyeshadow Pencil in Get Naked Shade
1270 rub.
Russian make-up artist Olga Romanova makes her money not only sexy (this word is included in the name of each series of the brand), but also versatile and comfortable. Get Naked - these are shadows in a pencil with a peach undertone and a soft satin shine that will save if you have overslept everything, you don’t have time to do anything, and you want to disguise the traces of a fun evening before an important meeting. Once a pencil - and the eyes shine.
Lipstick Armani Ecstasy Shine in a shade of Nuda
2780 rub.
Top experts on beautiful fresh skin and inconspicuous tonal means have recently released Ecstasy Shine Balsam Lipstick - translucent and moisturizing. Nuda is the right neutral shade, which is often called “my lips, only better” (we don’t think that the natural color of the lips is something that needs to be improved, so we hope that someday they will invent a less neurotic formulation for this one). In fact, this is a soft beige shade with a peach undertone that will suit any make-up and skin tone, and you can even apply it without a mirror.
Urban Decay Rebound Spray Primer
2300 rub.
Natural makeup and Urban Decay - two things are almost incompatible, but we found a tool that is suitable for today's topic. UD are known not only for the brightness and purity of shades, but also for their makeup sprays: they are best known and discussed with their excellent fixatives, but there are also primers. Novelty Rebound with niacinamide in the composition will help not only refresh the skin before make-up and prolong its life, but can also be used as a spray tonic as part of evening skin care.
Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in Blackberry Shade
1850 rub.
The lip oil from the Éclat Minute line, also known as Instant Light, appeared in the Clarins assortment a few years ago and was loved by many - for its honeyed texture, fragrances, which the brand always managed, a comfortable wide applicator and excellent gloss. The moisturizing properties of the oil is, and fair: a full-fledged balm, it does not replace, but soften and overlap peeling. In the summer collection of the brand came the shade of Blackberry - being very dark in the bottle, it looks on your lips as if you had eaten blueberries and covered your lips with a slight sheen.
Blush Wycon Compact Blush in Delicate Pink
929 rub.
In the updated compact blush Wycon good texture and fairly fine grinding. The hue of Delicate Pink (in its new line is number 01, in the previous one - 201) - soft neutral, slightly warm light pink with minimal satin shine. If you need to choose a blush that will fit everything and will not look like a bright accent in any make-up, but only as a flirty healthy blush on your cheeks - this is your candidate.
Highlighter Dr. Jart + Illuminating Brush
3960 rub.
The Korean brand has only a few makeup products: tonal cushions, equipped with complete caring components, a set for contouring and this brush in the highlighter. The brand calls the tool “strobing brush”, but the shine here is so soft and delicate that you can’t do any makeup with it - only a gentle highlighting effect without some bright sequins. You can also use it as a make-up base, but the main thing is to hurry up with the purchase: the Korean brand is known for releasing and removing the means from the production with equal speed.
