The creator of Iffecta, the beautiful girl Katya, like many of the heroines of our collection, once wanted to create a skin care product that would suit her in all respects. “For 19 years of work and study in the cosmetics industry, I have accumulated a decent baggage of knowledge, tested in practice.

Decorative cosmetics must be present in any woman's cosmetic bag. The means of this category include foundation, shadows, powder, lipstick, mascara, blush, etc. In a word, everything that allows the beautiful half of humanity to emphasize their natural beauty and become even more irresistible.
The category of decorative cosmetics includes the whole range of special products designed to improve the appearance and mask skin imperfections. These are cosmetics for the face, eyes, lips and nails. Decorative cosmetics are designed to highlight and shade certain facial features, to make some defects less noticeable and thereby present a person's appearance in the most advantageous way.
There are many cosmetic brands on the market and every woman has her own favorite brand that she uses all the time. Often, among the products of one cosmetic company, a woman likes lipstick, another - a foundation, and a third - mascara. The main selection criteria are price, quality of cosmetics, richness of color palette, ease of use and brand popularity.
The products of famous brands have one feature - when the price of a product is formed, from 50% to 70% of the final cost are the prestige of the brand and the company's research and development costs. The product quality of some brands is really quite high and is worth paying 20-30% more than the product should be worth. But you certainly shouldn't chase a brand just because it is fashionable and well-known. The main consumer properties of decorative cosmetics are appearance, color, smell, ease of application and durability. Let these criteria be the main ones when choosing mascara or lipstick, and not the degree of prestige of the brand and the price.
In addition, additional requirements are imposed on various decorative cosmetics products.
The foundation should have a uniform consistency, without lumps and clots. Skin coverage should be even and natural in color. The cream should not clog the pores of the skin and at the same time have a high masking effect.
Compact powder and solid blush should be finely ground, well compressed, without grains and foreign inclusions. The decorative agent should not crumble and break when pressed.
The lipstick should have a pleasant smell and texture, be easy to apply, lie flat, moisturize the lips and hold on for a long time. The rod must be strong and not melt during the warm season.
Oily eyeshadows and pencils for eyes and lips should not flow, melt and soften, and dry shadows and mascara should not roll and sprinkle.
The nail polish should be uniform, medium in consistency, without clots and impurities. The product should be easy to apply to nails, dry quickly and be durable.
