Why you need concealer, not foundation

ennedear — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:10:35 +0000

The widely held conception about makeup among we African women is to think that by wearing heavy makeup, we are better able to conceal spots and look brighter and better. Unfortunately, the African heat messes makeup faster and way easier than water! Our weather is extremely hot so if you have a spotless face, do without foundation during the day time; even if you have spots on your face, you can still do without foundation. If for any reason you insist on foundation, go easy on it. Too much foundation presents a false appearance as though your skin has been double-coated or masked – I have seen it on the faces of many women and it is awful!

The concealer is a must-have for African skin as we do have more than one shade on our faces. While you may think the foundation is your must-have, on the contrary, the concealer does a better job of hiding spots, brightening your complexion and presenting a light, weightless feel which all makeup should provide. Here are some useful tips you can employ:

1. After cleansing and moisturizing your skin, take out your concealer. If you have a spot-free face, go for liquid concealers; if you have spots, cream concealers are great. Start with the circle under both your eyes by filling them with concealer using your finger tips. Rather than rubbing it like most women do, pat it into your skin that way the concealer sits without rubbing off. Blend the concealer into your skin to prevent lines.

2. Apply loose powder over the concealed area under your eyes.

3. With your finger tip, apply concealer on individual spot on your face. Do not forget to blend so it can have a natural feel. Once done, apply loose powder over the concealed areas.

4. Lastly, apply loose powder all over your face and proceed with the rest of your makeup.

So, for a daytime weightless makeup that lasts, go for your concealer. If you have trouble applying it, get back to me and I will be glad to exemplify.

If you are passed mid-30s, then you should be using anti-ageing products when doing facial treatments at home or at spa. Any spa using generic products for mature skin has no clue how important it is to treat specific skin type with specific skin care products. While wrinkles appear much later in life, for others, wrinkles appear rather early, as such, you might have to start using anti-wrinkle products much earlier than expected.

Causes of wrinkle

Besides sign of ageing, wrinkles are caused by dryness in the skin and lack of elasticity in the skin. This happens because you have dry skin or because you have not spent good time pampering and nurturing your skin with adequate moisturizers.

Secondly, modern living takes a toll on our skin. So while you are struggling with busy work schedules, the stress is having more harmful effect on your skin than you know.

Alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep – all are harmful to your skin and can cause premature ageing.

Fourth, poor eating habits and nutrition can cause ageing as well.

Anti-Ageing Products that work

Clarins anti-ageing products are fantastic! If you have cash to spare, try them.

Olay Regenerist product range is great too.

Adrein Arpel has proven to be effective

Boots No. 7 has products for ages 25 to 60 and above.

So, you want to do your own facial all by yourself at home? Here are some useful tips.

Glycerine and honey mixed together are great for cleansing.

A mixture of honey, carrot juice and soda bicarbonate acts as good mask.

Egg white alone is a great mask.

Treatment for wrinkles

Try relaxing body, face and mind more often. Spend good money on anti-ageing products, especially ones proven to work.

Good luck staying young
