The bluer effect is a tool in the Adobe Photoshop graphics editor. Thanks to it, you can blur and smooth the surface, including the face. That is why the skin of models of beauty products looks flawless. This effect inspired cosmetologists to create cosmetics with a bluer effect. For example, creams and perfumes have the best properties of a moisturizer and primer. They can reduce pores and wrinkles, especially in the area of the lips, crow's feet and nasolabial folds. The secret lies in the work of active components, silicone fillers and small reflective particles. The only thing that cosmetics with a bluer effect cannot do is improve the skin tone.
Who is suitable for
Such cosmetics are suitable for women of any age with different conditions and skin types. If you are tired of seeing wrinkles and enlarged pores in the mirror, use such cosmetics. The smoothing effect of these products is amazing.
How to apply
Most importantly, do not use a lot of cream with a bluer effect. A ball the size of a pinhead is enough for one zone. The tool is applied with smoothing movements only on the T-zone or on the whole face. In places of wrinkles and enlarged pores it is driven in with light pats of the fingertips, but not rubbed. After a few seconds, you can continue to apply makeup.
When to apply
There are three options for using the bluer effect in makeup:
- Instead of primer, after sunscreen or moisturizer, before applying the tonal base. The tool is applied to the entire face or partially - depending on the problem, for example, only on the nasolabial folds or forehead.
- Instead of a tonal basis. This will give the skin freshness, naturalness and flawless appearance. You can use the tool both in the morning and in the evening after the main care.
- Apply over makeup to remove oily sheen. The texture of cosmetics makes it possible to do this with ease and without the effect of “puff cake”.
