Olga Smirnova, the author of the blog makeupmania.ru, shared with BeautyHack a list of products that she does not part with.
Of all the abundance and variety of cosmetics, it is extremely difficult to choose only five. Even if this is the fatal case when you go to a desert island and the luggage does not include a large suitcase. But if the editorial staff of BeautyHack leaves no choice, then the personal top 5 would look like this.
Foundation True Radiance Clarins
If my friends ask me to recommend a good foundation, then I boldly offer True Radiance Сlarins: for me there is no worthy alternative to it. The requirements for tone are usually the same for everyone: we want a light texture, a decent correction of skin imperfections, high-quality application, moisturizing properties, and durability throughout the day.
Clarins took all the requirements into account and created just such a universal foundation. Lightweight texture, even tone, healthy clear glow, six popular shades. It contains moringa seed extract and an exclusive Anti-Pollution complex to protect the skin from environmental influences. Radiance Booster Complex enhances light reflection off the skin's surface. Tara gum and saltwort extract provide hydration for 24 hours. An ideal foundation for summer in the city and beyond, as a bonus also SPF 15.
Tarteist ™ PRO Amazonian clay palette
The American brand Tarte is idolized by foreign beauty bloggers and makeup artists, but in Russia it is not yet so famous, although the site has direct delivery to our country. My latest discovery is the tarteist ™ PRO Amazonian clay palette. With more than 30 palettes of the most famous brands in the collection and an even greater number of mono-shades, I can call this palette a must-have of all times: I use it more often than others.
The tarteist ™ PRO palette is an impressive size, flat case made of matte black plastic. Inside there is a volumetric mirror, which at the right time will replace the tabletop mirror for creating makeup. The palette contains a consistent range of 20 shades of three textures: there are matte, satin, and metallic. One lid contains solid shades and duochroms.
This palette is intended for professional makeup, but in fact, both guru and beginner can handle it. The shades are harmoniously combined with each other: light cream, purple and pink shadows for daytime makeup, deeper and more intense purple, ocher and coffee - for the evening. The advantage of Tarte shadows, for which they are loved by beauty lovers all over the world, in intense color, soft shading and silky texture.
Compact powder Shimmer Brick Bobbi Brown
It was these bricks that became the foundation of the Bobbi Brown beauty empire. Bobby Brown herself, long before the worldwide strobing hysteria, invited women to shine like on a first date.
Now in the assortment of Bobbi Brown you can find many variations of compact powder with a shine effect in the format of the famous brick: pink and peach blush, bronzers, highlighters of all stripes. My favorite range, which I have not parted with for several years, is the compact powder Pink Quartz, which combines gold, bronze and pink shades with shimmer. This multifunctional product can be used all year round: in the summer as a highlighter, on tanned skin, the powder acts as a highlighting element, in the winter as a full-fledged pink blush with a golden glow. Another plus in their favor is incredible cost-effectiveness, for several years of regular use of the powder in the case, it seems that it has not diminished. Bobbie has clearly bewitched her creations.
Falsies Angel Maybelline Mascara
Maybelline recently introduced the new Falsies Angel mascara, which has completely pushed the rest of the competition out of my makeup bag. I can name at least 10 great mascaras with lengthening, volume, durability, for diving or enchanting drama right off the bat, but brands are so carried away by new eyebrow products that they no longer pay due attention to eyelashes. But Maybelline again managed to surprise, and I can call this budget novelty a must-have, if not of my whole life, then of summer for sure.
The product has an original brush, but not the same as in the classic version. The plastic mascara brush is made in the shape of a wing, it captures even the thinnest eyelashes hidden in the corners of the eyes, pulls them out and gives volume and length. Just one sweep of the wing brush, and the look becomes more expressive. Indeed, this Maybelline beauty hack was whispered by angels.
Meet Matt (e) Hughes theBalm
Matte lips have been a trend in recent years and almost every brand has offered their own version of matte lipstick. Those who love matte lipsticks have resigned themselves to their shortcomings - dry lips, cracks, difficulty in removing makeup. The American brand theBalm decided to do without compromises and released one of the most successful liquid matte lipsticks Meet Matt (e) Hughes.
The palette of 18 shades: from the most delicate pink and nude to significant wine. This matte lipstick is long-lasting, proven over multiple teas and snacks. It does not dry the lips, it is applied evenly, without lumps, it lasts forever, has a pleasant aroma of mint and chocolate, and also costs 2 times cheaper than its luxury counterparts. My favorite noir shade is Adoring berry wine. I'm looking forward to fall to wrap myself up in a dark green cashmere coat and apply this lipstick shade.
