Good make-up products and the right techniques are a lifesaver for anyone struggling with aging spots, circles under the eyes and any other imperfection. With the right tools in your hands, and a little bit of skill, you will have flawless skin in no time.
All that being said, the most important role makeup should play is is to emphasize and enhance a woman's beauty. All woman are beautiful in their own way, but we do need help from certain products to transform a troubled skin into a beautiful one.
1. Prepare the canvas
Start of your beauty routine with a clean face, but I don't recommend anyone wash their face with warm water or work too hard with the skin just before starting with the makeup routine. The moment you wash your face with a warm face cloth it becomes red. Wash your face with lukewarm water, and do not scrub it at all. The very next thing to apply is a good moisturizer. Once you have done this, you can start building your foundation.
2. Primer is a must!
The most important product when applying makeup is the primer. Very often the red spots on the skin are an indication of an underlying inflammation. Although primer isnt a medical product, it has a soothing effect. After applying the primer, it is advised to wait a few minutes before putting on your foundation.
3. Colour correctors are seriously amazing
If you really would like to get rid of either dark shadows or redness, it is important to make use of colour correctors. Depending on the severity of the blemish you want to cover, you can mix it with your foundation the get the colour more base tone related. Always apply corrector just to the area that needs it. For very dark spots, you might have to add more than one layer. Anyone can learn the tricks of using colour correctors. When buying your makeup from a studio like MUD, the consultants will show you exactly how to use it and explain everything in a demonstration.
4. Applying the foundation
A good and perfectly matched foundation will ensure the best look. It is very important to have a base that is the right shade and undertone. The best way of applying foundation is with a brush or a sponge. A sponge is my personal favorite, it really gives me that porcelain finish I always aim for.
5. At last, setting your makeup
A nice mineral loose powder seals the moist consistency of the foundation and therefore makes it lasts longer. When applying loose powder as your final layer, you don't have to fear makeup transfer or that it would rub off in the middle of the day. It also helps to control oil on the skin. If you are not sure of the consistency of your makeup, applying a good setting spray will give you peace of mind.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common disorder that mainly affects skin on the face. It causes redness on the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead. Over time, the redness can become more intense, taking on a ruddy apearance and making blood vessels more visible.
What is hyperpigmentation?
This is when patches of skin appear darker than the surrounding skin. This occurs when the skin produces more melanin, the pigment that gives the skin its colour. This can make spots or areas appear darker than surrounding areas. Hyperpigmentation is a common condition, affecting woman of all ages and skin types. Certain forms, including melasma and sunspots, are more likely to affect areas of skin that are exposed more readily to the sun such as the face, arms and legs.
