The face skin of almost any woman is imperfect. Freckles, red vessels, spots, and even a pimple jumped up at the most inopportune time in the most visible place. One girl is too pale, the other does not like the bright blush. Yes, almost everyone does not like something in their appearance. Each representative of the fair sex solves these problems at their discretion. But there are still general trends both in protecting the skin of the face and in masking minor defects.
Facial Skin Care
They depend on the age of the woman, type of skin (oily, dry, combination).
Perhaps, oily skin creates more problems for its owner than dry skin . She needs constant special care. You need to use only products created for such skin. They are labeled noncomedogenic. Such cosmetics prevent the formation of black dots. Products labeled for acne-prone skin are suitable for the skin on which acne often forms.
Do not use blush, instead, you can take dry shadows. Powder is better to choose friable. You can use corrective pencils.
Particular attention should be paid to pharmacy brands, that is, sold in the pharmacy network. They contain substances that dry the skin.
In this case, it is advisable to use the means of one manufacturer. After all, they are designed so that the elements of one complement the substances available in the rest. Be sure to consider your feelings, watch how the skin reacts to the product.
Cosmetics company "Pupa"
The Italian company was established in the 70s of the last century.
Pupa cosmetics was originally intended for teens. Now the products of this brand are sold in many countries of the world. These are the USA, Western Europe, Japan, countries of the East, South Africa. It differs not only in quality, but also in design. Pupa cosmetics works in the direction of modern and classic. Leading professionals, including the founder of the company, Mr. Gatta, are participating in the development of new products.
Decorative cosmetics such as cosmetic lip gloss, pencil, lipstick, blush, powder, eye shadow, eyeliner, cosmetic makeup kit are produced.
Foundation and powder
The common between them is that both types of cosmetics hide skin imperfections. Both of them serve as the basis for makeup. After applying the foundation, the face is fixed with powder. It removes excessive shine of the skin. Apply this complex for evening makeup. If the skin is clean enough, you can apply one at a time. Another difference: the foundation in color matches the color of the skin. Face powder should be a tone lighter.
Apply foundation, as well as powder, on the skin treated with day cream. It is absorbed for about 15 minutes. The remaining cream, if necessary, is removed with a paper towel. When applying foundation, you need to be careful. If you impose it too much, the result will be the opposite of what is required. Wrinkles and other skin imperfections will become noticeable. After applying the foundation, the face is powdered.
Powder Pupa
Helps quickly even out skin tone. It is friable and compact. The latter, in turn, has many varieties, among which we can distinguish:
- matting (gives the skin a matte shade, removes excessive shine);
- bronzing (gives the impression of tanned skin);
- antibacterial (therapeutic);
- baked.
Pupa Powder Options
- Powder of one shade.
- Set of two colors.
- A set of blush, two shades of powder, a porthole that emphasizes the light points on the face.
- Four colors in one box (powder blush).
Compact face powder has a dense texture, it is more stable than friable. It is easier to carry in a purse, periodically looking in the mirror on the lid and adjusting makeup. Apply it with a puff, sponge or brush.
Baked powder
Among these species, baked appeared relatively recently.
It is created using special technologies. When baking powder, moisture and moisturizers are stored inside it.
In this case, the texture is very thin. This makes it possible to apply powder in a very thin layer.
It does not crumble, is easily applied to the skin and holds on for a long time. It has a glow effect. Protects against ultraviolet radiation with the help of factor 15 SPF. Passed control of allergenicity with the help of special tests that test face powder. The rating of this product indicates that baked powder is among the top ten.
In appearance in the box, it differs in that it has a heterogeneous color.
The benefits of baked powder
- Light texture makes the powder invisible on the face.
- Hides flaws.
- It gives the face a healthy look.
In a box of 9 grams of powder. There are shades 01, 04, 05, 06. The first two are light. The fifth number is suitable for summer. The latter is the darkest. All of them are very persistent. It gives everyone the opportunity to find the right tone of baked navel powder. Customer reviews note that the first is slightly more yellow than the fourth. This is suitable for many women who have been looking for just such a long time.
Apply powder to the foundation. But you can not use it, but confine yourself to a daytime face cream. And then an unpleasant surprise awaits us. Not everyone succeeds in choosing the right cream, to which the baked navel powder responds well. Some customer reviews note that only one cream came up: Natura Siberica for oily skin with Japanese sophora. More experienced users have determined that they moisturize their face with a light water-based cream before applying the powder. They emphasize that this cream must be applied beforehand and absorb well into the skin. Otherwise, the powder is applied unevenly. If the cream is selected successfully, then small peeling on the face is not visible. Large, unfortunately, are noticeable.
A baked navel is placed on the face with a dry or wet applicator. Reviews of some customers indicate that it is best applied with a fluffy sponge, which is in the box with powder. The box itself is very beautiful, looking like a shell. It is quite voluminous. Refill with powder deepened into the bottom of the box. This is convenient, because when you use a brush, the powder dusts.
Structure
Baked Pupa powder has the following composition:
- silicone;
- mineral oil ;
- talc.
The powder dries a little oily skin.
Because of the fine grinding, the baked Navel is almost invisible on the face of the powder. Reviews say that different colors have a different effect. Women note that they are not even dull, but have a satin shine. At the same time, everyone is characterized by perfect durability.
It masks defects, as it has good pigmentation. The powder itself is heterogeneous in color. And when applied, the particles are mixed, as a result of which the complexion turns out to be alive, not flat.
Reviews
Many users have a positive attitude towards the Pupa brand, whose cosmetics satisfy their requirements. This applies, in particular, to the baked powder of this company. It is believed that it is the best powder available at a price. Holds for a long time, does not slide into lumps. Dry method is applied on the day, wet - in the evening. It hides not only freckles or small spots, but also masks dark circles under the eyes.
Users provide interesting details:
- After applying the powder to the face, it looks like flour, and the defects do not disappear. But after a few minutes it is absorbed, changes its structure, becomes invisible. Deficiencies are hidden from prying eyes.
- The effect of matte skin is observed for about an hour. Then a light satin sheen appears. After a couple of hours (in summer) you need to correct makeup. In winter, this can be done in half a day.
They note the efficiency of the navel powder. One box is enough for some for 8 months of daily use. Others only last for 2 months. Some people think that baked powder is more of a winter option. In summer it is better to take friable silk.
Customers who have been using Pupa powder for many years sometimes switch to products from other manufacturers for some reason. As a result, they realize that they did it in vain. After all, when using the navel powder, they have amazing velvet skin with a barely noticeable glow. Powder does not clog pores. The complexion becomes fresh.
Baked navel powder is not suitable for everyone. Cosmetics are an individual matter. Some feel her face like a mask. Others showed pores after application.
Some consumers believe that baked navel powder makes them look much older. Wrinkles appear that they had not noticed before. Perhaps this happened because they did not take into account the application technology described above.
Baked powder "Luminus"
One of the products of cosmetics "navel". Contains jojoba oil, which moisturizes the skin and helps protect against atmospheric factors. The skin becomes smooth, matte, has a natural look. Luminus powder has four colors, which allows you to choose the most suitable. It does not cause allergies.
Many consumers with dry skin, who are usually very difficult to find the right face protection product, claim that this product is right for them. Four-color sets are also used as a blush. After all, they are easy to shade, they can be mixed, creating the desired effect.
It is interesting that some girls with dry skin apply Pupa Luminus powder on the face without lubricating it with a pre-nourishing cream. And the skin does not tighten, no sensation of a mask, peeling not seen. As you can see, there is no strict algorithm for using the navel powder. There are general recommendations, each of the consumers shares her experience, while others can choose and try something of their own.
Girls usually love makeup that contains a lot of sparkles. For them, tone 05 and 06 of the Luminus powder are suitable. It is dense, well camouflages imperfections, improves complexion. At the same time, it is relatively inexpensive, like all the Navel powder. The price is 15 US dollars.
Buyers like a pleasant smell, palpable, but not intrusive, light powder texture - matte, silky, cool (this is tone 04). It does not clog pores, which has a positive effect on the skin condition in the fight against acne. Does not create a mask effect. Gives the skin a healthy and fresh look all day.
A lot of enthusiastic reviews and from admirers of baked Pupa powder with combined skin. They note that the powder lies evenly, the skin looks healthy, the color is natural.
Some customers point out that they no longer need to apply foundation. Baked powder "Navel" perfectly copes with the protection of the skin without it. She evens out flaws and hides them.
Many buyers with oily skin notice that immediately after applying the Luminus powder, the oily sheen disappears.
Everyone is very pleased that the powder leaves no residue on clothes. Most like the stylish powder box design.
Some buyers who do not like the result of applying the navel powder, throw it and buy another. But many do not do this and continue to understand the causes of failure. They approach the analysis of powder properties thoroughly. Apply it with a sponge and a brush alternately, try various creams (tonal, nutritious). It happens that the powder well glosses over defects, but then you can already see it itself. The skin, and without it is oily, begins to shine even more. Peeling becomes even more noticeable.
After suffering a little, persistent shoppers usually come to the desired result. The layer of powder is thinner, it is imperceptible on the face. It emits a pleasant glow instead of annoying shine.
An interesting approach: apply powder only on certain areas of the face, for example on the cheeks. What is especially convenient - at any moment, makeup can be fixed with a brush, which is included in the makeup kit.
Silk Tech powder (silk touch)
Loose powder. Well suited for combination skin prone to oily. Apply powder with a brush. Very matt, smells good. Not everyone likes the packaging because the lid is scratched quickly.
