Eyes always attract more attention than other parts of the face. Therefore, they should always look perfect. And if immediately after applying makeup you can convince the whole world that you are more beautiful than anyone in the world, then by the middle of the day there may be some flaws in the make-up. For example, it turns out that the shadows are applied unevenly.
In order not to worry about such “trifles”, it is worth paying attention to the fact that applying shadows involves the use of a special tool applied under them. This is a tool called "base under the shade." It is necessary to create a protective layer between the skin of the eyelids and cosmetics. With the help of the base, such an effect is achieved that the shadows do not crumble and do not spread over long hours. However, the base is not a caring agent, although many cosmetic companies include additional components in its composition that have a beneficial effect on the skin condition. But still this is far from a full-fledged eye care product.
The base under the shade is significantly different from the base for the face. It is applied directly to the skin of the eyelids to ensure the expressiveness of the color of the shadows and to prevent the formation of unattractive wrinkles on the skin by the end of the day, in which particles of shadows are collected.
Each person has their own skin type. And the skin of the eyelids is usually the same type as the skin of the entire face. If you apply shadow on dry skin of the eyelids, then it is not easy to do this, and they look paler than we would like, and crumble too quickly. If the skin of the eyelids is naturally oily, then the shadows can stain, spread and roll in the folds of the skin. The base under the shadow helps to solve both of these problems, creating optimal conditions for applying eye makeup: it softens dry skin and creates a matting effect for oily.
The structure of the base is opaque and has a rather dense consistency, but it lies much more evenly than the foundation. By the way, the bases have one more property. They have masking properties. If small vessels appear on the upper eyelid, for example, appearing from lack of sleep, then the base will hide unaesthetic reddish or brownish spots.
There are several types of bases with which you can prepare the skin of the eyelids for perfect makeup. Most preferred - with the effect of a triple action. Such a base under the shadows perfectly eliminates oily sheen, smoothes the skin of the eyelids and nourishes it, helps to apply shadows evenly, ensuring their durability throughout the day.
Some ladies use a concealer as a base, but it is better not to do this, because the skin of the eyelids is very sensitive and requires care only with the help of specially designed products. An improper replacement can lead to the fact that the skin of the eyelids is stretched and extra folds appear, which will only more clearly demonstrate all the possible imperfections of the skin and makeup.
The basis for the shadows is applied with a brush in a very thin layer, then slightly shaded with your fingertips. If the layer is too dense, that excess funds must be removed with a sponge or applicator. After that, you can apply decorative cosmetics on your eyelids.
The use of such tools does not need to be considered excessive luxury, because they really help to make good makeup, almost on a professional basis.
It is better to purchase funds from well-known manufacturers in large cosmetic shopping centers in order to be insured against fakes. They are not represented by all brands. For example, the base under the shadow of “Lumene” is today one of the most popular and has many fans. She maintains perfect makeup all day, preventing the appearance of oily sheen. The composition includes natural lingonberry oil, which gives the skin freshness and brightness. You can try the products of Mary Kay, Artdeco or Beyu, which are also well established.
