Trend of the season: glowing skin. Brilliant care: products with a radiance effect How to add radiance to your facial skin

Nothing will make you feel more confident than glowing, glowing skin. Good skin will help you look younger and feel healthier, no matter your age or physical condition. Plus, many skin care routines are also great opportunities to pamper yourself. So go ahead and make your skin glow. You deserve to look and feel incredible.

Steps

Daily facial skin care

Gently exfoliate your face. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, impurities and excess sebum, and prepares the skin for cleansing and toning.

• After exfoliating, apply a cleanser to your skin. Gently massage your skin in a circular motion for a few minutes to improve circulation, remove makeup, and remove excess sebum.
• Many cleansers contain exfoliating particles that allow you to do two things at once. Avoid products with drying ingredients such as deodorants, dyes and fragrances. Also, avoid using products that say “antibacterial” on the label.

1. Apply a good moisturizer with natural oils, such as rosemary or almond. Rub the product into the skin with massage movements.

   Use products from the same manufacturer. Choose cleansers, toners, and moisturizers from the same brand. This is better for the skin, since different products do not always interact well with each other.

   Apply cleansers to your neck and chest. These areas are just as vulnerable to wrinkles, dryness and signs of aging as the face. After cleansing, massage facial moisturizer into skin. You can also apply masks to these areas once a month.

   Do not use soap with a strong scent. Instead, switch to soaps that contain fat, such as Dove, Neutrogena or Oilatum. Fat keeps your skin moisturized even after you've taken a shower.

   Apply a thick, moisturizing cream to your hands and feet before bed. Then put on cloth gloves on your hands and socks on your feet so that the cream properly moisturizes your hands and feet.

   Always use a washcloth when washing your body. This will help rid your skin of dead skin cells and ingrown hairs. To make your skin even smoother, you can apply a few drops of a cleanser that contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to a washcloth.

   • If you use a loofah washcloth, be sure to clean it thoroughly after each shower or bath to prevent bacteria from forming on it.

2. Apply powder to areas of the body where skin meets skin. You will find such places under the breasts, under the arms and on the inner thighs. The powder prevents friction, bacterial growth and itching.

Diet changes and supplements

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. They will provide your body with the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals, making your skin glow.

Drink soy milk or take soy isoflavones. If your choice is a dietary supplement, then consume 160 milligrams per day. Soy proteins are very important for collagen production and protecting it from free radical damage.

Try cocoa. Cocoa is a wonderful product for the skin. Mix it with other products or use it on its own in crushed form.

Give preference to foods rich in vitamins. The body better absorbs nutrients that come from food and drinks. Many multivitamins provide limited benefits at best. However, if you decide to take a supplement, look for vitamins that contain 100 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin A, C, and B vitamins. Additionally, choose foods rich in these vitamins:

Eat garlic. Garlic has a number of potential benefits for the skin. Skin cells will live longer and look younger. Garlic may also help prevent the growth of skin cancer cells.

Add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel are good sources of omega-3. You can also get omega-3s by eating walnuts and olive oil.

Drink tea. Tea is high in antioxidants that fight free radicals that damage your skin. According to research, people who drink tea are less likely to develop squamous cell skin cancer.

Drink more water. Water keeps the skin hydrated and flushes out toxins from the body. The exact amount of water depends on your specific needs. The general rule is that men should drink 15.5 glasses of water per day (3.7 liters), and women should drink 11.5 glasses.

Untested Home Remedies

Apply olive oil to dry areas of skin, including your face, hands, elbows and knees. Do this in a circular motion.

Make your own homemade tonic.

• Use witch hazel, mint and sage as a facial toner. In a bottle or jar, mix 120 ml of witch hazel and 1 teaspoon each of chopped mint and sage leaves. Let the mixture sit for 3 days and then apply to your face after using cleanser.
• Boil 1 cup of water and add 1 tablespoon of mint, hyssop, yarrow or sage leaves. Leave the mixture for half an hour, then strain and can apply to your face.

1. Take a nourishing bath. Try these supplements to relieve itchy, dry skin:

   Wrap ice in a towel and apply to dry, itchy skin. Ice will improve blood circulation in the area and provide moisture. Be careful not to over-cool your skin.

   Use aloe vera on very dry skin. You can buy aloe vera gel or cut a leaf from the plant and rub the gel into your skin.

   Use grapefruit for rough skin on the elbows. Exfoliate your skin while showering. Then cut the grapefruit in half. Place your elbows in the grapefruit halves and hold for 15 minutes. The acid will make the skin soft.

   Make an oatmeal scrub. This scrub can be used on the face, neck or body to get rid of dead skin cells.

   • Grind the oats in a food processor or coffee grinder. You will need 1/2 cup of chopped oats.
   • Add 1/3 cup crushed sunflower seeds, 1/2 teaspoon mint leaves and 4 tablespoons almond flour. Mix thoroughly.
   • Mix 2 teaspoons of the oatmeal mixture with a little heavy cream to create the consistency of a facial scrub. Apply to face, neck and chest and then rinse thoroughly.

2. Add 1 teaspoon of grape seed oil to your tonic bottle. This oil counteracts aging by helping skin cells regenerate themselves.

   Spray water with essential oils onto your skin. In a small spray bottle, mix a few drops of bergamot, rose or sandalwood oil with a little water. Spray onto your skin with your eyes closed whenever it becomes dry.

   Make a mask from what you have in your kitchen. Here are some ideas:

• Exercise helps improve blood circulation, resulting in more radiant skin.
• Get more sleep. If necessary, hang curtains to prevent sunlight from entering the room through the windows. Your body repairs your skin while you sleep, so don't neglect it.
• Try this mask: mix a little milk with one teaspoon of honey and lemon juice. Apply to skin for 30 minutes.
• Apply aloe vera gel to your skin at night and wash it off in the morning.
• To check for dryness, gently scratch your fingernail on your arm or leg. If a white mark remains, the skin is too dry.
• Drink plenty of water. It promotes healthy hair growth and also gets rid of blemishes and makes your skin glow.
• Water also rids your skin of excess oil, so your skin won't be greasy.
• Work until you sweat. Sweating during sports cleanses the skin of toxins, improves blood circulation and gives the skin a healthy glow. Use sunscreen if you exercise outdoors.
• Turn on a humidifier (not a vaporizer) in your bedroom during the winter season. This is a good remedy to prevent dry skin.
• Use castor oil - it is thicker and makes the skin glowing and bright.
• Massaging with oil twice a month can also help.

Now every week we will put together ideal beauty sets for you, which can include any products, at any price and purchased in any part of the world.

“The ideal cosmetic bag” is a section about those products, new products and proven hits that it is advisable to collect to solve a particular beauty problem. Today it is gloomy and unfriendly outside the window - at such moments we especially want light, brightness, radiance. Have you noticed what compliment is most often given to a truly well-groomed girl? “You’re all shining!”

Salma Hayek

Jessica Alba

Of course, you can shine just like that - from a new love, thanks to a change of job, after a two-week island vacation... But you can “glow with happiness” absolutely always - even when nothing supernatural has happened in your life. It is better that proven beauty products help with this. And, of course, properly selected food products, because thanks to just a serum or foundation with shining particles, the effect will be decent, but not completely real.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Molly Sims

As an example, we took several of the latest photographs of our favorite stars, for each of whom beauty is not only a natural female desire, but also a requirement of the profession. All our heroines have long professed the classic Hollywood nutrition system: everything that is healthy and most correct, “no” to sweets, flour and salty foods. Let's check if we have in our refrigerator all the products that are recommended for glowing skin: fresh tomatoes, green tea, berries, nuts, fish and spinach?

As for the beauty products themselves, one of our latest and most impressive discoveries is the Clarins double serum, which promises an anti-age effect and care for the condition of the skin. It’s nice that he not only promises, but also delivers. We tested this new product for almost a month, and together with us was our producer Yana Rudkovskaya, who confirmed: “After the double serum, the condition of the skin and its quality seem to change. More and more often people compliment me with the words “you’re shining.” In addition to the tangible result and effect of clean, healthy skin, we would also note the process of applying the serum itself. The first couple of seconds it seems that the foundation is too oily, but the skin instantly absorbs the product, leaving behind only a feeling of velvety and moisturizing.

If your skin is not too dry, you can try using the serum in combination not with a subsequent care cream, but with a foundation fluid. The founder of Posta-Magazine Tatyana Saburenkova, for example, has been faithful to her beloved La Mer and their Le Fluide Teinte product with spf 18 protection for several years now. “For my mixed skin type, it turned out to be an ideal option to apply Double Serum from Clarins and foundation fluid from La Mer. It turns out to be double powerful hydration, which is absolutely enough for me, and at the same time, I still have a healthy tan. I always have two fluids in my cosmetic bag - number 2 and number 3. If I return from vacation and my skin is tanned, I use the third, and when the tan is washed off, I gradually switch to the second. This fluid is a real salvation for those days when I don’t have filming and don’t need to go to events: it’s enough, and even for the whole day I don’t need a thicker foundation.”

Another favorite product for Tatyana is La Prairie body cream from their famous caviar series. “It gives the skin a shimmery effect that I can’t find in any other product that does the same thing. The glitter is either too noticeable, or the cream does not moisturize so well. With La Prairie, I feel like my skin on my body and hands is constantly hydrated. It’s very convenient that there is a 200 ml jar for home and a small one to carry in your purse.”

The editors' absolute favorite is the American product All Nighter from Urban Decay by Skindinavia, purchased in a shopping center near the Metropole Hotel in Monte Carlo. He was recommended to us by businesswoman and socialite Daria Lisichenko. This is truly long-lasting makeup protection in spray form. The name speaks for itself - you spray the product onto your makeup and the spray seems to “hold” your shadows and powder throughout the night. We use it during the day when necessary. It gets to the point that even the mascara does not fall off and eyebrows dyed outside the salon do not smear (this is true for those of us who have not yet decided to get a tattoo).

As for the mask, the current favorite is probably the Intensive Treatment Mask from organic Swiss brand Vetia Floris. In terms of application, you need to be prepared for the fact that it is better to take the product with a small cosmetic stick and, as it were, melt it on your fingertips. No wonder the creators wrote Calming Bio-Sensitive on the velvety black jar. The mask soothes even the most sensitive skin, giving the face a perfectly healthy look. Even the dullest skin glows after this mask - tested for those of us who sit in front of the monitor for days.

Keeping in mind that berries are the best way to make your skin glow, experts from Payot recently gave us a berry gommage, which contains cranberry extract. The particles of this gommage are so small that you hardly notice them when applied, but they work flawlessly. Skin cleansed with this product is already eye-catching, and if you use the product correctly 2 times a week, apply it in a circular motion and rinse it off with mineral water rather than ordinary water, the condition of the skin changes after the first two weeks of use.

And, of course, we couldn’t help but finish our list for the perfect cosmetic bag (it’s strange that we didn’t start) with a product from Giorgio Armani. One of our brands for creating all kinds of images, combinations and tricks in terms of visual correction of the face shape. Armani's Fluid Sheer is a trick you should always have with you. Some use this miracle product to correct the shape of their nose, while others emphasize their cheekbones. While photographing one of our favorite sports stars, Maria Kirilenko, we watched as a Giorgio Armani makeup artist applied a fluid-shine under foundation to create the perfect skin glow. There are a huge number of variations using Fluid Sheer; the main thing is to decide on the task and stock up on several shades.

Backstage Secrets:

Diamond shine - teeth cream from Montcarrote.

Designer Evgenia Linovich, our friend and columnist, once advised us to try this brilliant product. We say “brilliant” precisely because it works. After using this cream, tooth enamel becomes so smooth and shiny that today there is simply no equal to this product - unless we are talking about cleanings and whitening in a specialist’s office. The effect is created thanks to the innovative polishing component Hydrated Silica. It's very simple - dental plaque is simply not able to attach to a perfectly polished surface. It’s nice that the creators of such a precious teeth cream also took care to add potassium ions to it - they relieve sensitivity and strengthen the enamel. It’s not for nothing that the creators of Montcarotte put scarlet lipstick along with the cream, because it is known that this color perfectly emphasizes the whiteness of your teeth.

“Shine - and no nails! This is my slogan - and the sun!” wrote Vladimir Mayakovsky in his “An Extraordinary Adventure”. We recommend taking note of the same slogan (and also without nails, of course) as it smoothly flows into summer. And within the framework of compliance with the format, we recommend arming yourself with face creams with a lightweight texture and necessarily a “built-in” radiance function. Why them? We'll explain right now.

Let's start with the fact that the trend for radiant skin, if not with health, then at least with shimmer, has been on the catwalks for several seasons in a row. And this is understandable: radiance imitates humidity, humidity indicates youth and health, and for centuries they have been considered the main sign of beauty. So no matter how hard we try to get used to and believe once and for all that every age is beautiful and amazing, our evolutionary component will resist this for some time. This means that glowing skin and will remain in fashion for now.

The explanation is a bit confusing, but we hope you get the gist. So without a moisturizer - with reflective particles or a “glow from within” effect, with or without tonal functions - there’s nowhere in the new season. We have collected five excellent options for every taste in this material.

BB cream “Secret of Perfection”, Garnier

“The Secret of Perfection” is positioned on the market as the first one developed specifically for European skin types and adapted to its needs. Indeed, it was with BB creams - even before cushions, tints - that our acquaintance with the Asian beauty market began. First or not, however, in this case is not the most important thing. Garnier BB creams are loved for their professional application, pleasant scent, all-day comfort and, let’s be honest, price. The weightless texture spreads easily and melts into the skin, while the grapefruit-based formula moisturizes, evens out tone, protects against UV rays (SPF 15) and gives a beautiful glow that may not require highlighter. Well, if only for the evening.

Kombucha Kombucha Extract Serum, Hello Beauty

Not quite a cream (or rather, not a cream at all), but a product that does the job perfectly - Hello Beauty serum for skin elasticity and radiance. In the composition, as you might guess, you can find an extract of kombucha kombucha (Medusomyces Gisevi) - a natural component that is a product of the fermentation of sweets by two symbiont microorganisms. Filled with organic acids and B vitamins, it tightens the skin, smoothes the microrelief and evens out the tone, giving the face a healthy glow. We would like to remind you that serums improve the penetration of any care products applied afterward into the skin, so the possibility of using this sample together with other products from the selection is obvious.

Day cream Valo Vitamin C, Lumene

Since Lumene redesigned their products seem to work much better. Of course, the aesthetic pleasure that complements the overall efficiency has not yet been canceled. To give tired skin radiance and fill it with vitality, brand experts have developed a whole line with the self-explanatory name Valo (Light). We advise you to start getting acquainted with it with Valo Vitamin C Day Cream SPF 15 - a refreshing and moisturizing day cream with Arctic cloudberry (nectar + oil), encapsulated and spring water, the task of which is not to artificially illuminate the skin, but to restore its natural radiant resource by intensive care. The effect is noticeable after the first use, which is especially pleasant.

Light serum Lumiere, Rivoli

The Serum Lumiere lifting serum is a cocktail of components that, combined with “precursor technology,” stimulates the skin’s self-defense processes, smoothes it and gradually creates the effect of an inner radiance that feels like it has always been with you. The active components of the formula include softening and at the same time tightening sorghum extract, as well as oat extract rich in glutamine and vitamin B3, which protects the skin from the harmful effects of external factors and ensures that its level of hydration is always optimal. A nice bonus is reflective particles, which, if there are no noticeable imperfections on the face, will allow.

Face cream “Honey”, A’PIEU

Honey face cream from A'PIEU, which we love for its cotton swabs for spot peeling, exfoliating discs with acids and other effective products for lazy people (who, however, do not stop taking care of themselves even in moments) is an excellent basic option for any skin type . Proteins, amino acids, vitamins C and D, as well as enzymes and a complex of macro- and microelements in the composition moisturize and soften the skin, improve water-salt metabolism, and have a regenerating and mild antibacterial effect. Thanks to the jewelry treatment of irritations, the skin instantly becomes smooth and radiant, no matter what you did to it before. And for its luxurious texture, one can forgive it even an insufficient (although here it depends) aroma.

Everything in the body is interconnected. Complexion is primarily an indicator of your health and how you take care of yourself. The main reasons why the face takes on a sallow complexion are lack of oxygen, poor circulation and dehydration.

Most of us spend all day in a stuffy room, sitting in front of a computer. In this case, overstrain of the collar zone muscles often occurs. Due to spasms, blood vessels are compressed. We get a circulatory disorder. Cells suffer from oxygen starvation, renewal and restoration processes slow down.

Stress and negative emotions also cause vascular spasms and negatively affect complexion.

Do you eat poorly or drink a lot of coffee? Plus one for gray. If you also smoke, you create additional conditions for dry and dull skin.

The working day is over, we go out into the street, and there... Exhaust fumes, not very clean air, ultraviolet radiation... Everywhere you spit, there are threats to our beauty and youth.

Lack of sleep also noticeably affects your complexion. This is stress for the skin, which does not have time to recover. It is impossible to get enough sleep for the entire week on the weekend; the body needs its dose of sleep every day.

In the morning we get up and - dear mother! - who is this?

Ways to solve the problem

Firstly Of course, you need to take care of the body as a whole. Move more, walk, play sports, periodically get out of town and to the sea, ventilate the room more often, protect your skin from the sun, drink a lot of water and go to bed on time.

Third, the skin must be regularly and thoroughly moisturized. Here we will dwell in more detail on moisturizers for improving complexion.

Cosmetics that improve complexion

There are many ways you can improve your complexion and give it a healthy glow. And these are not only creams, but also masks, serums, lotions, tonics, and facial washes. Your complexion will be taken care of Vishy, ​​Lumene, Neutrogena, Clarins, Korres, Green Mama, Garnier and many other widely and not so well-known brands.

Manganese. Stimulates cell activity, improves collagen production, restores skin balance. Like vitamins, they may not be listed separately in the composition. But, for example, kelp is rich in manganese - if it is included in the composition, you can be calm about this. In addition to manganese, kelp contains iodine and vitamins.

Natural plant extracts. Olive leaf, Sophora japonica flowers, cranberry, horsetail, papaya, moringa, Melegetian pepper seeds, cloudberry, lemon, turmeric, gingko. The functions and properties of many plants are generally similar. It’s just that “moringa, papaya and baobab” sound cooler than “cranberry, lungwort and lemon.”

Plant extracts contain vitamins (including C and E) and other antioxidants. Substances familiar to us as spices, for example, pepper and turmeric, stimulate blood circulation and improve microcirculation. In addition, most of these plants and substances derived from them (for example, arbutin) have a bleaching effect.

If you want to brighten your facial skin, make your skin moisturized, elastic and radiant, products from the store will help you. Baviphat multifunctional moisturizing peach cream with a light gel texture is easily absorbed, smells pleasant of peach and acts as a real oasis for dry, dehydrated skin. Intensive whitening cream 3W Clinic is designed for dry and normal skin; in addition to lightening, it moisturizes and refreshes, giving a feeling of comfort.

Reflective particles. Of course, they have nothing to do with skin health. But they add several points to her appearance. If they are not in the composition, but there are only caring components, then it is unlikely that you should expect a quick visible effect (it will happen, but it will be delayed in time).

Clarins cleansers from the store will give your skin a glow. Daily Energizer Cleansing Gel instantly removes makeup and impurities from your facial skin, leaving it fresh and velvety. Gentle Refiner exfoliating cream with melting microbeads leaves skin smooth and radiant.

Tinting pigments. Here we are talking about and. They combine the above qualities of a moisturizing care cream and foundation. The function of pigments is the same as that of reflective particles: a quick visible improvement in complexion, while the remaining components slowly bring the skin in order from the inside.

Salon treatments to improve complexion

All methods of removing the top layer of the epidermis can cope with dull, uneven skin color: chemical. Removal of the top problematic layer occurs using a laser, microcrystals, nitrogen or chemicals, respectively. At the same time, minor defects disappear and skin rejuvenation occurs.

Mesotherapy. During this procedure, a nutritious mixture of medicinal substances - vitamins, plant extracts, organic acids - is injected under the skin using injections. Complementing each other, the components of this cocktail smooth out wrinkles, provide facial lifting and a radiant appearance of the skin.

Biorevitalization. In this case, hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin (remember the composition of the home care products described above?). These procedures stimulate metabolic processes in the skin, fight dehydration and provide noticeable facial rejuvenation.

Ozone therapy. Ozone molecules contain three oxygen atoms. Subcutaneous administration of ozone improves microcirculation, production of collagen and elastin, and normalization of metabolic processes. As a result, you get elastic skin and a healthy complexion.

And two more useful procedures:

Alginate masks. They contain salts of alginic acid, which are found in brown algae, extracts of other plants and vitamin C. These masks restore, moisturize and nourish the skin, accelerate metabolic processes in cells, improve blood flow and oxygen supply, stimulate collagen production, even out complexion .

Massage. It activates blood circulation and has a positive effect on complexion.

What you need to know about primers, bb creams, highlighters,
concealers and shimmers.

The basic rule of any makeup is a good complexion. You can perfectly make up your eyes, lengthen and curl your eyelashes, emphasize your eyebrow line, but all your efforts will be in vain if your facial skin is uneven in color, with pimples or dark circles under the eyes.

And, on the contrary, if you have an ideal complexion, there are no signs of fatigue around the eyes, all skin irregularities are smoothed out - in this case, it will be enough to simply tint your eyelashes or apply gloss to your lips. At fashion shows, designers are increasingly asking makeup artists to create natural makeup in a “nude” style. Models walk down the catwalk, showing slightly glowing, satiny, even-toned skin and sculpturally accentuated cheekbones.

Special products help to achieve such an excellent result - primers, BB creams, highlighters... How to use these products and what they are needed for, said Alexandra Zakharova, art director of the Moscow club of makeup artists "Forum".

Primer is a product that is used before applying foundation. Its main purpose is to even out the texture of the skin and slightly moisturize it so that the foundation goes on evenly and there are no signs of peeling. Some foundations contain colored pigments (pink, yellow, green, lilac) that solve uneven skin color issues. For example, if your face has a clear reddish-pink tint, then you should use a green foundation - it will neutralize the pink undertone of the skin, and the face will look natural. The same thing happens with other colors: a pink base will hide olive skin tone, yellow will remove pallor and blueness, and lilac will slightly lighten and highlight the skin. Primers can also mattify the surface of the skin or actively moisturize it. For example, an actress Gwyneth Paltrow To achieve the effect of porcelain skin, she uses a makeup base from MAC Prep+Prime, which gives the face an even tone that glows from within.

BB cream (CC cream)

BB and CC creams have become a real sensation in the cosmetic market. They take care of our skin and at the same time make us look good, while saving a lot of time and money. What's the trick? These unique products are designed primarily to even out skin tone, with hydration and protection as additional benefits. BB creams have a lighter texture than regular foundation. They lie on the skin in a very thin layer and are almost invisible. CC cream is a new version of BB cream, only even lighter, and matting components have been added to it. These creams are perfect for combination and oily skin. Various cosmetics manufacturers supplement their versions of creams with other properties - for example, they include antioxidants or components that fight skin aging.

Highlighter

Highlighter helps to give the skin a glow by highlighting and highlighting certain areas of the face - the protruding area of ​​the cheekbones, the middle of the forehead and bridge of the nose, the edge of the upper lip, and emphasis on the moving eyelid. Highlighter is often used in conjunction with corrective dark powders or bronzers. The texture of the highlighter can be liquid, cream or powder. You can apply the product under foundation or mix it with tone. The result will be smooth skin with a luminous, light pearl effect. According to the famous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, she can easily leave the house without makeup, but never go to the red carpet without highlighter! For evening makeup, highlighter is used on top of foundation or mattifying powder, but for daytime use, we recommend applying this product under foundation to make the skin glow more natural and delicate.

The name of the product itself fully characterizes its purpose. Concealers mask small areas of facial skin that require more careful treatment. The textures of correctors can be light and liquid, as well as creamy and quite dense. If necessary, you can even create a complexion tone with light liquid correctors. Thick compact correctors not only remove color, but also smooth out the skin texture due to their matte finish, for example, they fight pimples and age spots. To ensure that the corrector is fixed on the skin, it is enough to lightly powder it. One of the actress's favorite correctors Lucy Liu is Clé De Peau Beaute Concealer - it has a stick shape, is extremely easy to apply and will always fit in any cosmetic bag. Well, the bestseller and favorite product of all makeup artists in the world is, of course, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat.

Shimmer (eng. shimmer - shimmer) for the face is a product that gives the skin a light or active glow, evens out the tone and hides dullness. Unlike highlighter, shimmer contains components such as mother of pearl, minerals, mica, which can enhance their shine, and pigments of different tones that make the color multifaceted. Most often, shimmers have a powdery texture and are used as the last step in toning the skin of the face. They are best used for evening makeup. Shimmer with an elegant shine should be applied with a special brush with artificial bristles.

Many Hollywood celebrities - Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Beyoncé, Rihanna- regularly use shimmering products to create their stellar makeup. The most famous shimmers in the world are Guerlain meteorites and the undisputed bestseller of the brand Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, which is loved by many makeup artists and celebrities, for example, Victoria Beckham.
