With so much strange terminology, in the end we are going to need a specific beauty dictionary to know if we need to use a primer (read "praimer") before our makeup base or if we can live without copper lights in our hair. With this little help you will know whether or not it is convenient for you to incorporate these products and / or trends into your beauty ritual .
1. The booster or concentrate
On many occasions it is used as a synonym for serum, but it is not exactly the same. Like the serum, the booster or concentrate (it is also known by this name), it is used after cleaning the skin very well and before the cream to enhance the effects of it. But boosters are more powerful than serums, as they have a greater ability to penetrate the skin due to the smaller size of their molecules. Boosters act as intensive skin recuperators
Are they worth it?
It depends on the state of your skin. Thinks there boosters for very specific needs: to bring light, enhance hydration, improve firmness .. . By using them day and night before the cream, you can achieve visible results in 7-10 days.
2. Cooper lights
Cooper lights are nothing more than a few copper highlights, although to be more exact, we should talk about reflections.

4. Multimasking
We have come across the Korean ritual! Korean beauty addicts, those who have enviable skin in their 30s, 40s and 50s, confess that, apart from cleaning it thoroughly, they use a daily facial mask or several! And this is where multimasking comes in, which consists of combining different masks in different areas of the face to treat specific skin needs. For example, you can put a purifying mask on the T zone (forehead, nose and chin) to mattify the shiny areas; and apply a super moisturizer in the cheek area, while applying a mask in the form of patches under the eyes to combat dark circles. If this problem worries you, we will tell you all the remedies to finally say goodbye to dark circles.

You can find them for less than € 2, so you can get a premium facial at home for less than € 10.
5. Primer
Maybe if we talk about primer, it sounds more familiar to you. It is the ideal complementary product for the makeup base. Applying it before it, unifies the skin's texture and improves its appearance. With this a very professional and long-lasting makeup is achieved. Depending on how you choose it, you will be able to accentuate or hide one aspect or another. If it is mattifying, you will eliminate all traces of shine. Or if it is smoothing, you will blur any imperfections (pores, for example) or roughness. Its purpose is to get the perfect canvas before applying the base. Are you interested? We tell you everything you can get with a primer.

The truth is that it is a product that, although it has become popular recently, has been used by professional makeup artists for a long time for its great benefits. Not only do they use it as a perfecting product before the foundation, but they often apply it as a replacement for the foundation itself. If you have skin with very few blemishes, the primer or primer may be enough to get beautiful skin without looking makeup.
