Checked by make-up artists: 5 budget makeup options
Beautiful makeup should not be expensive: Many make-up artists have budget favorites, which they gladly use on themselves and clients. We asked five professionals to tell us how to do different make-ups using inexpensive jars, which you already have in your cosmetic bag or can easily be found in the nearest store.
The Golden Age has come for Organic Kitchen: the brand has launched several successful radiant products for the face and body at a symbolic (considering quality) price. I have not had time to buy and test the sensational Glass Skin of Masha Worslav, but I am glad about the shimmering body cream “Shine like a diamond” by Alexandra Kiseleva. I don’t know if blue lotus and cotton flowers really happened in the jar, but it sounds beautiful. The main thing - the cream dries on the skin and firmly sticks to the body a million bluish glitter. A hundred times he rescued me on the set, where it was impossible to get my clothes dirty even with powder. The neck, the hands and even the ears shine - and the stylist is calm. And if at the most important moment a fluff appeared in the selection of the perfect styling, then it can be easily laid with such a low-fat cream. The photographer is completely happy. There is another great recipe: one teaspoon of cream plus a teaspoon of bronzer. Mix, but do not shake, apply to the entire length of the leg.
I don’t know if there is anything more dull in the world than colorless nude lipstick. Such pink-lilac-beige, colors of frozen lips. The nude of a healthy, fair-skinned person, a shade of Seductress, can be found in the excellent line of Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink - this is the first permanent lipstick from which I myself do not get out all day. By the way, it is not so easy to get out of it, because it keeps as nailed. Experiencing borscht, dumplings, cheesecake and lip biting hour under the last series of "The Handmaid's Tale". In general, this is an amazing product - it is even strange that there is nothing like it in the suite. You can mix it with tone and use it as a rouge - it turns out delicate color and phenomenal durability. In make-up, eye lipstick is ideal both as a substrate under the shadow, and as an independent means. The main thing - do not forget to put the base, otherwise you pass with a pinkish smokey for two days.
Another recent discovery is Soda Makeup mascara in a Light Up shade. Finding white mascara is not a trivial task, especially if you don’t often go to specialty stores for make-up artists. The white liner has not released only a lazy brand, and the ink for most brands is still that mache. Many suggest using a mascara base as a substitute, but most of them become translucent after application. Now this problem is a thing of the past, I hope, for a long time. Mascara is a fairly versatile material. You can draw arrows, you can mix with pigment and make whitened, watercolor eyelashes. And you can lighten your eyebrows to zero and even dye your hair: make gray strands or texture styling under an albino. Keeps, by the way, better than any gel.
Here I applied The Ordinary Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 with Antioxidants Sanskrin on the skin and eyelids: it is not greasy and evens out the tone of the face, because it is slightly whitening. On top, locally - a mixture of translucent tones of The Ordinary Serum Foundation 1.0 NS and Organic Kitchen Glass Skin cream (sorry, I really use it every day). H & M Eyeshadow Dove Affair’s gray matte eye shadows have a fingertip because I’m always too lazy to wash my brushes. Shadows from this line are very pigmented, do not crumble, and the brand has a lot of shades. Eyelashes turned out to make up to some extreme curl (used the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara mascara), so they rounded the eye. I don’t like this in this make up, so I summed up the mucous and lower eyelids with a gray cayal of Rimmel Soft Kohl in a Stormy Gray shade, stretching the shape of feathering from round to almond-shaped. It is slightly darker than the shadows, it turned out beautifully. A little emphasized cheekbones stick Maybelline Master Contour 01 (shooting ahead, I do not want to face looked flat) - and all!
I love different cosmetics: expensive and mass-market, luxury and budget options. I even have a master class where I make one of the images with tools that cost no more than a thousand rubles - it is not necessary to keep a super expensive case in order to do good makeup.
In my top of budget products there is always Lumene CC-Cream - it well covers irregularities, but leaves skin “alive”. I like his nemat finish and how the tool allows for varying density. I also love the NYX Gotcha Covered corrector - this is my masthead. Dense, but with moisturizing properties, can be applied lightly, and you can even cover the tattoo. I even like to mix it with oil and apply it instead of tonal means.
Often I use eyebrow gel “L'Etual Selection” from the ID line - it has a comfortable brush, beautiful colors. One gel can make eyebrow makeup and not bother with pencils and brow markers: it is the color in the gel that does all the work. Another favorite is Wycon Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick. Firstly, it is layered - you can choose a color from tender and barely noticeable to bright and juicy. Secondly, it is very resistant. I wear these lipsticks and in my personal make-up - I apply it not only on the lips, but I use it as a cream shade and as a blush.
And finally, gel eyeliner Maybelline Lasting Drama. Brown shade - my favorite is already seven or eight years. I love for a beautiful rich color that will emphasize both green and blue eyes. The eyeliner is very plastic, so I often use it as a cream shade too.
First, I apply Organic Kitchen Glass Skin cream all over my face and ears, followed by Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum tonal serum. With the Catrice Liquid Camouflage Concealer I highlight the area under the eyes closer to the inner corner and mask the redness to the pupil. Instead of a sculptor, I use Wycon Creamful Lipstick 44 Desert Beige lipstick, and apply it on my lips in a single layer. Brows thoroughly with mascara: on one I apply Beauty Bomb My Bomb Lashes in the shade of Pinky Punky, on the second - blue-green Divage Maxi 90x60x90.
Then I bring up the upper and lower eyelids with different pencils: on the left I use Wycon Long Lasting Eyeliner 09 Mineral Green, on the right - the burgundy half of the limited edition Kiko Milano Arctic Holiday Eyeliner 03. I also color over both mucous membranes. Then I lightly blend the borders of the pencil with either a small brush or a cotton swab, pulling out the outer corner of the shade. I do not use dry shadows: pencils are well fixed by themselves. I highlight the inner corners of my eyes with the Essence Made To Sparkle Quad-Four Highlighters - mint and duochrome pink, respectively. I don’t touch the eyelashes, but if you’re shy, you can omit the stage with a fat stroke of the century and just paint over the mucous - and in this case I wouldn’t neglect mascara. When my eyes are painted, I warm up a small amount of Glass Skin on my arm, mix it with a burgundy pencil and apply it with my fingers instead of blush. The protruding points of the face and ears are being worked with golden and pink highlighters from the Essence palette, and I additionally enhance the sculpturing with the Nyx HD Blush blush in a shade of 22 Taupe. Done!
I have a minimalistic set of budget funds that can create fresh, everyday makeup. His main star is the BelorDesign Smart Girl Incredible Hollywood highlighter in shade 02, my main discovery of the last months! It does not give a bright metallic effect than is beautiful. Apply to cheekbones, back of the nose and upper lip with a soft fluffy brush and get a beautiful effect of well-groomed skin. I also like to apply it on the eyelids as a base shade of shadow. The highlighter is very delicate, and it can be applied with a thin layer with a big fluffy brush all over the face as highlighting powder. The second tone is suitable for most skin tones, despite the fact that the package looks pink. The first tone gives a white satin ebb and will most likely suit the owners of fair skin.
My favorite lip gloss is NYX Butter Gloss. Their main advantage for me personally is the fact that my lips do not peel off like after most others. The choice of shades worthy. Perhaps my favorite is the pink Apple Strudel. Suitable for most, very refreshing image. NYX also has beautiful NYX Lid Lingerie cream shades. I can not call these shadows a complete replacement for the famous Armani tints, but they are very good! I often use them just for the entire upper eyelid. If you have oily skin on your eyelids, you will have to fix it with dry shadows, but I wear a solo without any problems. Favorite shades - Rose Pearl, Night Glow and New Romance. Last stunning highlights blue and green shades of eyes.
Budget Belarusian treasure - ink "Belita-Vitex" Luxury "Royal volume" (the one that is in gold packaging). Silicone brush well separates the eyelashes, and it turns out the effect of very high-quality building. The only negative - mascara lives a maximum of a month and a half or two, but it costs a penny. And I usually fix eyebrows with gel Art-Visage - this is a classic of the budget segment. Excellent gel, presented in several versions: there is transparent (normal and strong fixation) and toning - light and dark.
