Solutions to the most common beauty and makeup mistakes

Your face shines

A little shine? Yes, but without going overboard as in the case of Jennifer Lopez. If you have a tendency to shine, you should use fluid moisturizers, low fat or mattifying creams.

Emergency solution

If you want to smooth your skin and unify the tone to remove unwanted shine, it is better to opt for absorbent papers or a mattifying base. If it happens to you often you should go to the specialist because it means that your skin has a tendency to produce oil.

Too illuminating

If you have gone too far with the illuminator, soak a cotton pad with thermal spray and dab the area where there is excess, without dragging, until you have removed half. At that time, blend again with your fingers so that there is no mark and the tone is unified.

You have not applied the concealer well

Don't worry, it can happen to all of us. To prevent this from happening, always choose a concealer in the same color so that it blends perfectly and covers imperfections. Also, make sure to use a tool that you master: a small brush, a smudging sponge, your fingertips … If you want to know how to apply it like an expert, don't miss this tip from Ratolina.

An inopportune grain

You went to sleep last night with skin like a baby and this morning … horror! You have a pimple! Do not touch it and apply a local care pencil that dries, heals and descales. You can repeat the application two or three times a day. And if you have time, go to a beauty center, where they will remove it without leaving a mark.

You have made a mistake with the color of the base …

And now you look like "Naranjito" … So how do you hit the perfect tone? Very easy, draw a straight line on the cheek with the base. If you don't see the difference between your skin tone and your makeup, you have found the right shade. Also, remember that it is important that you spread it well and do not stay only on the face, but also on the neck. You don't want to wear a "mask", right?

Your lipstick has disappeared

You have been painting your lips for a long time, they have been perfect, you leave the house and after 10 minutes there is no trace left … What anger! To prevent it from shifting and ending up on your teeth or disappearing, apply a coat of lipstick, kiss on a tissue, apply loose powder, and lastly go over it again. You can also use lip primers, as they thoroughly hydrate and help lock in color.

Choose a good lipstick

One of the steps to avoid that the lipstick disappears is to choose a quality one. In addition to having a color that you like and flatter you, it should moisturize your lips, because otherwise the only thing you will get is that it cracks and lumps appear.

Take care of them day by day

And in addition to using your favorite lip balm daily, don't forget to exfoliate your lips once or twice a week. In this way, you will remove dead skin and restore its softness, so when you paint them, they will be perfect and the color will last longer.

Beware of blush

Whether in the eyes, cheekbones or lips, pink is the anti-fatigue color par excellence. It is the king of the "good face" because being a cold tone brings freshness to the cheeks, offering a healthier look. If you have gone too far, apply a drop of highlighter and another of makeup on a skunk model brush and pass it over the area where you have exceeded. You will see how the color of your cheeks is immediately balanced. Remember to choose a shade that suits your skin and doesn't look too artificial.

You notice chapped or poorly hydrated skin on your face

If you have dry skin or have applied too much makeup, you may notice cracked or tight skin. To soften it, lightly spray mist on your face. It will also help you keep your makeup perfect for longer. It is essential that you keep it in the refrigerator to get the pigments to fix.

The perfect shade for every skin type

Okay, Dita Von Teese looks good because it's her style, but let's face it, it doesn't suit us all. It is just as rare to have both an orange and too white face. In both cases the result, unless it is carnival, is very artificial.

HD powders

This type of powder - high definition or high definition - is used to mattify the face and to set makeup, but they have a small problem, they reflect light and, if they are not applied correctly, we run the risk of ending up like Angelina Jolie.

You haven't applied your self-tanner well …

If you have dared with the self-tanner but have not applied it correctly - do not worry, we have also gone through this - do a gentle peeling on the area. You will be able to lower the tone a little without eliminating it completely.

Slowly

These self-tanning facial drops provide an instant, uniform and long-lasting tan that increases progressively after 3 hours of application. You can also add a few drops to your regular moisturizer to avoid going overboard with the color.

Against the root effect … a braid!

One or more, they are in fashion and it is the ideal hairstyle when the hair has dark and light tones. When mixing the hair, the dark tones look like reflections. You can make a fine braid or a pair in the front and gather them in the back.

Or go to the root touch-up

It is a super effective solution to apply at home between visits to the hairdresser. Place a towel on the shoulders, shake the spray well and spray 10 cm away on the roots, contour of the face and / or temples until they are completely covered. Let it dry for a few seconds, and voila!
