Written by Margit RĂĽdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: Airbrush Foundation and Blur Primer from Huda Beauty

Airbrushing is a very special makeup technique. It involves spraying foundation or other products onto the skin using air pressure from an airbrush gun. The atomization process makes the makeup about seven times finer than when applied normally.

Now you can achieve exactly that without an airbrush gun and all the hassle that goes with it.

Tested for you: Foundation and concealer by louiselouise

Written by Margit RĂĽdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: Foundation and concealer by louiselouise

Foundation and concealer should be precisely matched if you want your makeup to be perfect. That’s why a professional makeup artist has focused on these two products in particular. Louise Wittlich, a German who has been living and working in Paris for decades, has exactly two products in her louiselouise makeup collection: louiselouise Foundation and, now, the new louiselouise Natural Glow Concealer. Makeup that thinks for itself – developed by a woman who knows what women need: freshness, naturalness, and uncomplicated solutions. That’s exactly what the Natural Glow Concealer offers. It has an ultra-fine, invisible texture that blends seamlessly with the skin without settling into fine lines. Its innovative formula provides long-lasting moisture while ensuring perfect coverage. It is easy to apply and blends seamlessly.erblenden.  Luminousness meets lightness To make traces of fatigue under the eyes disappear in an instant, the concealer is enriched with light-reflecting particles and brightening pigments. The result is a fresh, rested look that lasts all day long. Maximum impact with minimum effort. The concealer is available in five shades. Concealer makeup tip from Louise For a fresh, natural look without looking “made up,” start with a small amount of concealer. Gently dab it onto the dark shadows in the inner corner of the eye. As a general rule, it’s better to apply less than more. If necessary, you can always add a little more concealer later to increase the coverage. Focus exclusively on the inner corner of the eye. It is best to avoid the area around the outer corner of the eye above the cheekbone, as the concealer can accumulate in wrinkles there. Tip: Smile in front of the mirror and apply concealer only to the immobile areas of skin. Gently blend the concealer with light dabbing motions in all directions for a natural and virtually invisible result. Natural Glow Concealers by louiselouise, 30 ml, 32 euros Perfect match “Every skin type has individual needs,” says Louise Wittlich, who not only works as a makeup artist at the major fashion shows of Paris Fashion Week for Chanel and Balenciaga, but is also the founder of the successful makeup consultancy “louiselouise,” which offers exclusive makeup courses for women of all ages. The shades and texture of the Natural Glow Concealer are precisely matched to the louiselouise Foundation. Together, they give the complexion the ultimate freshness boost – radiant, even, naturally beautiful. Launched in 2023, the louiselouise foundation differs from conventional products, which often contain too much powder and thus tend to accentuate rather than conceal fine lines or enlarged pores.… weiterlesen

Tested for you: Make-up capsules „Milky Boost Capsules“ from Clarins

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: Make-up capsules „Milky Boost Capsules“ from Clarins

Little make-up capsules. What a great idea, I thought to myself when I received the transparent jar with 30 small, skin-colored capsules for testing. I liked it right away because such small doses are ideal, especially when traveling. You can put the capsules loosely in the cosmetic bag without any mishap. I also tried this out immediately. It worked! One make-up capsule per application Each capsule contains exactly as much makeup texture as you need for one application on the face. Practical and also quite clever, because in the small capsule the formula remains protected from contamination until it is opened. In addition, the empty capsule is biodegradable. So you don’t need to have a guilty conscience when disposing of it. The jar, made of 40 percent recycled glass, is also environmentally conscious because it can be refilled. There is also a refill bag with 30 capsules. The latest product in the “Milky Boost” series, like the entire line, has been developed according to ecological criteria. The tiny make-up capsules also contain 100 percent vegetable and natural peach kernel oil – a proven beautifier and nutrient for the complexion. In addition, there is organic currant extract. It is said to firm the skin and ensure better distribution of the incident light rays. The third in the trio of plants is cocoa extract – from fair trade, of course – to improve moisture in the tissues. Small capsule goes big But now for the test. I hold the capsule between my thumb and forefinger and turn the cap around on itself with my other hand until it can be detached from the capsule. One squeeze of the capsule “belly” and the skin-colored fluid emerges. I spread it mostly on my cheeks, where I could use more perfection. I also apply a touch to the forehead and chin. The light fluid can be blended “rimless”, connects immediately with the skin and leaves a radiant complexion. No unsightly shine, but a satin finish. By the way, the product comes in four shades. My conclusion: A small product with a big effect. When I look at myself in the mirror with my “Milky” complexion, I can only say: The little ones passed my test! “Milky Boost Capsules” from Clarins, 30 pieces, approx. 22 euros… weiterlesen
