Which helps to even out the skin tone best. Always use concealer on your eyelids. Professional help to even out 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 flawlessly make up your eyes, lengthen and curl your eyelashes, emphasize the line of your eyebrows, but all your efforts will be in vain if your skin is uneven in color, with acne or bruises 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 just to tint the eyelashes or apply gloss to the lips. At fashion shows, designers are increasingly asking make-up artists to create a natural "nude" make-up. Models parade the catwalks, displaying slightly luminous, satin, uniform skin and sculpturally accentuated cheekbones.

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

A 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 so that the foundation lies flat and there are no traces of peeling. Some foundations contain color pigments (pink, yellow, green, lilac) that solve the problem of uneven skin color. For example, if the face has a distinct reddish pink tint, then a green foundation should be used - it neutralizes the pink skin tone, and the face will look natural. The same thing happens with other colors: a pink base will hide the olive skin tone, yellow will remove pallor and blueness, and lilac will slightly brighten and brighten the skin. Primers can also matte the surface of the skin, or actively moisturize it. For example, an actress Gwyneth Paltrow For a porcelain-like effect, use MAC Prep + Prime Makeup Base for an even and glowing complexion.

BB cream (CC cream)

BB and CC creams have become a real sensation in the cosmetic market. They look after our skin and at the same time allow us to look good, with significant savings in time and money. What's the trick? These unique products are designed primarily to even out skin tone, while hydration and protection are additional effects. BB creams are lighter in texture than conventional 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 to oily skin. Various manufacturers of cosmetics supplement their versions of creams with other properties - for example, they include antioxidants or ingredients that fight skin aging.

Highlighter

The highlighter helps to give the skin a glow by highlighting and highlighting certain areas of the face - the protruding cheekbones, the middle of the forehead and the bridge of the nose, the edge of the upper lip, accent on the mobile eyelid. Highlighter is often used in conjunction with correcting dark powders or bronzers. Highlighter texture can be liquid, creamy or powdery. You can apply the product under the foundation or mix it with the tone. The result is even skin with a luminous subtle pearl effect. According to the famous Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, she can safely leave the house without makeup, but on the red carpet without a highlighter - never! For evening make-up, the highlighter is used over foundation or matting powder, but for the daytime version, we recommend applying this product under foundation to make the skin glow more natural and delicate.

The very name of the product fully characterizes its purpose. Correctors mask small areas of the facial skin that require more thorough work. Concealer textures can be light and fluid, as well as creamy and quite dense. You can even tone your face with lightweight liquid concealers. Dense compact concealers not only remove color, but also smooth out the skin's relief due to their matte finish, for example, they fight pimples and age spots. To fix the corrector on the skin, it is enough to lightly powder it. One of the actress's favorite proofreaders Lucy Liu is the Clé De Peau Beaute Concealer - it has the shape of a stick, 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 Touchе Eclat.

Shimmer (English shimmer) for the face is a product that gives the skin a light or active radiance, evens out tone and hides dullness. Unlike a highlighter, a shimmer contains components such as mother-of-pearl, minerals, mica, which can enhance their radiance, and pigments of different tones, which 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 make-up. Shimmer with a graceful shine should be applied with a special brush with artificial bristles.

Many Hollywood celebrities - Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Beyonce, Rihanna- regularly use shimmery products to create their star makeup. The most famous shimmers in the world are the Guerlain meteorites and the undisputed best-seller of the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick brand, which is adored by many makeup artists and stars, for example, Victoria Beckham.

And in that order. The concealer will hide obvious and obvious imperfections (acne, dark circles, age spots, vascular networks), the foundation will even out the tone, making the concealer invisible. And only then, with the help of a concealer, you will bring the shade to perfection, placing accents and emphasizing facial features.

You can exclude a concealer or concealer from these three if you don't need them, but the consistency should remain the same.

2. Choose the right corrector


Popular

If you are not sure that you know which corrector is right for you, keep this simple plate for yourself.

Pale pink: hides blue under the eyes, acne spots, evens out light skin.

Peach: Helps conceal sallow skin tones, hide bruises, and even out mid-tone skin.

Orange: masks age spots and acne spots on dark, tanned skin.

Yellow: Hides dark circles and bruises under the eyes on tanned skin.

Green: hides redness.

Purple: removes yellow undertones.

3. Take two

If dark circles are your daily problem, apply concealer twice. First, on clean skin, slightly hammering it in with your finger, and then as the final stage.

4. Apply primer to the T-zone

This advice is especially important for those with oily skin. This will prevent your foundation from dripping, and your nose and forehead will not shine excessively.

5. Adjust coverage density

Don't use the same foundation all over your face. On the T-zone, it is better to use veils, fluids, bb- or cc-creams. But the cheekbones, temples, chin and face oval can be covered with a denser product. If there are no imperfections on the cheeks, cover with a medium-density foundation.

6. Choose the perfect tone

To make your choice 100% accurate, apply three foundation shades to the middle of your cheek. Move a meter and a half away from the mirror and choose the tone that is not visible on the cheek from such a distance.

7. Shade wisely

The only correct way to blend the foundation is from the center to the periphery. Start at the bridge of the nose, moving towards the tip of the nose, then from the bridge of the nose to the top line of the forehead, then from the middle of the forehead to the temples. Then from the bridge of the nose along the top of the cheeks to the cheekbones and from the bridge of the nose along the wings of the nose, from the nasolabial region to the chin.

8. Don't forget about ears and neck

With the same blender or brush that you blend the tone over the face, go over the neck and ears. No makeup looks natural if the ears, face and neck are different shades.

9. And again about the neck

Look at the skin of your face and neck in even daylight. Many have a lighter neck than their face, as they are less exposed to sunlight. If this is your case, you will have to get a separate foundation for the neck and carefully blend the border between the shades.

10. Always apply concealer on your eyelids.


With a light movement, you will make your eyes brighter, larger, more expressive, and the overall look will be fresher and more rested.

11. Check the light

Ideally, you need to paint in the same lighting in which you are going to be, that is, for exposure to the sun - with a bright and directed from top to bottom, for the office - with normal daylight, for the evening - with electric. If that isn't possible, try an illuminated tabletop mirror or take some basic supplies with you to fix your makeup on site.

12. With or without oil?

For oily and combination skin, water-based products are suitable, and for dry and sensitive skin, oil-based products.

13. Ambulance

If you have a pimple, and there is no suitable concealer, take a regular foundation, drop on the problem area, wait 3-5 minutes and blend a little.

14. Shine

If your skin is too dry, which makes your face look tired and too dull, drip any face oil onto the sponge and gently touch the skin. Get a natural glow effect!

15. Mix textures


If you can't find the perfect cream in texture and shade, feel free to mix different ones! Dense tone can be diluted with moisturizer, matte tone can be diluted with a radiant primer.

16. Warm-cold

When choosing a foundation, pay attention to whether you belong to a cold or warm color type. How to find out? Easily! If you think that jewelry made of yellow metals suits you more than white jewelry, you have a warm color type. If white suits you, you have a cold color type. Finally, take a look at the wreaths on your wrist. If they are greenish, the color type is warm. In all other cases, it is cold. If you cannot unequivocally answer these questions, then your color type is neutral, you can afford both warm and cold shades.

17. Brush or sponge?

If you have enough time to blend the tone, use a brush: it distributes the foundation on the skin more delicately and efficiently. If you are in a hurry, a sponge is better, since it will not leave streaks of hairs, as will happen with a brush if you use it in a hurry.

18. Hide the fluff


The barely noticeable thin downy hairs that each of us has should not be emphasized, so always apply foundation in the direction of hair growth, and not against.

19. Neat with shadows


Falling off, they will spoil your hard-won skin tone! Either use special patches to protect the area under the eyes, or ... start with eye makeup and smooth the skin after that.

20. Fix

The final touch to your makeup should be light brush strokes with loose powder or fixing spray. Now the makeup will stay with you all day!

Changing your lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle will help to smooth your complexion and get rid of blemishes: proper nutrition, water regime, exercise and quality sleep.

The complexion is significantly influenced by nutrition. It is necessary to include in the diet fish, lean boiled and chicken meat, seafood, eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, soy, vitamins A and E. These vitamins are found in large quantities in the liver, eggs, dairy products, herring, chum salmon, carp, sturgeon caviar , carrots, broccoli, young potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkin, spinach, cabbage, lettuce, melon, apricots, plums, papaya. Juices from carrots, beets, citrus fruits, green tea improve and even out the complexion.

This course is repeated several times.

Sports and skin health

You should constantly go in for sports. Exercise promotes skin cell renewal, which helps smooth out wrinkles and even out skin tone.

Healthy sleep

A concealer stick, liquid or cream will help to even out the skin color. Pencils are not only brown, but also yellow, green, lavender. These shades are necessary to neutralize redness and scarring.

Competent makeup will make the skin of the face perfect

Use a brush, not your fingers, to apply concealers. If you rub them with your fingers, bacteria are brought in and red spots appear on the skin.

Concealers should not be too dark, or they will mask age and sun spots, but cause orange spots to appear.

Then a tonal foundation is applied: powder, liquid, cream or spray. Powders have the longest effect.

We must not forget about the application of protective creams and serums, a high-quality makeup base. This step will help prevent thickening of the stratum corneum and dullness of the skin, protect against unattractive redness.
  • After each washing, it is recommended to treat the skin with ice cubes, then the walls of the vessels will be dense and elastic, the problem of skin redness will never arise. In this case, you can add a decoction of chamomile or citrus juice to the water, then the risk of inflammation will also decrease.
  • At least once a week, it is necessary to use intensive cleansing masks, matched to the type of epidermis. Natural bleaching agents can be used twice a week. Such an integrated approach will lead to a gradual leveling of the surface of the face and return the freshness of the color.
  • Be sure to use toning face masks twice a week. If acids are also present in the composition of such a mask, then the beneficial effect of the procedures will not be long in coming.

After washing, this mask is applied to the still damp skin, and after a few seconds you can continue your usual facial care ritual, apply serum and / or cream. The mask does not need to be washed off, and the absorption and active action time is only 15 seconds.

Soft and high-quality expansion and cleansing of pores with their subsequent narrowing, stimulation of blood vessels is the best option for restoring a healthy complexion. Just keep in mind that steam is not hotter than + 70 ° C is considered useful.
  • If it is not possible to visit the bathhouse so regularly, you can limit yourself to steam baths. It is best to take herbal decoctions as a basis.

In addition to healing procedures, one should not forget about the regular use of fortified tonics. Suitable formulations can provide the skin with clarity, freshness and radiance.

Acne and blackheads are far from the only dermatological problem that literally everyone can face. Of course, these inflammations are immediately striking and spoil the appearance, but there are other types of neoplasms, which, although less noticeable, also affect the appearance and condition of the skin. For example, many women turn to beauticians with such a problem as uneven complexion. For different skin types, this is true both in the summer and winter seasons. It is necessary to treat the problem, starting from many factors - the patient himself, the causes of unevenness, and so on.

In some cases, the uneven color of the dermis on the face can signal the development of a disease in the body. For example, some spots are a symptom of tumors. Be sure to take into account the characteristics of inflammation and contact a specialist if you notice such formations. Especially if there were no such problems before, and you first encountered uneven skin color. In this case, it makes sense to think about a complete medical examination of the body.

Why facial skin color can be uneven

Having learned the exact reasons, you can determine which specific action or factor triggered the deviation from the norm. It is worth noting that the reasons for all types of uneven color are listed here - from redness to the appearance of age spots. Consider what kind of difficulty you have encountered in order to accurately calculate the pathology yourself. You can't figure out how to even out skin tone until you know what you are specifically struggling with.

  • Disruption of the gastrointestinal tract. Wastes and toxins in the body contribute to the disruption of the level of melanin, a pigment that provokes the appearance of moles and spots.
  • Hereditary predisposition. Uneven skin color is often passed down from parent to child or even from grandparents to grandchildren. Find out what caused the disturbance in your ancestors.
  • Lack of proper nutrition of the skin. A possible reason is the low efficiency of the circulatory system. A sufficient amount of vitamins, minerals and even oxygen does not get into the skin.
  • Dry skin. Most often, an uneven complexion occurs precisely in people with a problematic dry type of dermis. It is necessary to regularly moisturize the cover with additional agents or to provoke the activation of the sebaceous glands. It is especially important in winter, when the skin is regularly weathered and can be exposed to low temperatures for a long time.
  • Exposure to direct ultraviolet rays. This reason, on the contrary, is more common in summer. Many patients notice that, for example, after vacations and regular sunbathing on the beach, the skin becomes stained. The sunburn disappears over time, but unpleasant formations remain. This also indicates a violation of melanin in the dermis.
  • Bad habits and food. This gives prerequisites for disruption of the gastrointestinal tract. And smoking and alcoholism clog the blood system itself with toxins. It is advisable to give up such habits and pay attention to healthy food. Perhaps after this the question of how to even out the tone of the face will disappear by itself.
  • Lack of a regime for a long time. The skin can become stained if you don't get enough sleep or only sleep during the day. Pay close attention to your daily routine and try to sleep between 7 and 9 hours.
  • Hormonal imbalance. The cause most often occurs in adolescents, during puberty and pregnant women. Hormones are released unstably, which affects the pigments in the skin.
  • Consequences of dermatological diseases. The tone level or even the texture of the skin can be compromised by a medical condition. For example, it is not uncommon for patients to notice that the dermis is covered with spots after full recovery from acne. In this case, the formation of post-acne and other types of scars on the dermis is also quite possible. Therefore, to eliminate it is necessary to use the most effective means.

Effective ways to even out complexion

If you have visited a doctor and are convinced that the color disturbance is caused by one of the listed reasons, and not a serious pathology, then you can begin to understand the methods of eliminating the defect. Different experts in cosmetology have different opinions on this matter. Many argue that only professional cosmetic preparations will help to cure. Others say that alternative methods work much better. The final choice still depends only on you. Check out the most popular options.

Having made the final choice, do not rush to immediately use drugs or carry out procedures. The method must be absolutely safe for your skin. Therefore, first you should make sure that the active substances are fully compatible with your body. To do this, pay attention to factors such as the type of your dermis, methods of exposure to the cover, and possible side effects. The safest option is to consult a doctor again and find the most appropriate method.

1. How to smooth out the skin of the face using masks

This type of dermatological preparation is the most popular at the moment. The prevalence of masks among patients is due to their high efficiency and relatively low cost. The fact is that most of the necessary masks for different purposes can be prepared independently at home using natural products. And in most varieties, these are cheap ingredients that are likely to be found in every home anyway.

Popular masks to even out the tone of the face:

  • Mask made of coffee, honey, oatmeal, butter and milk. You will need 10 grams of natural ground coffee, two teaspoons of warm milk, the same amount of butter, a teaspoon of honey melted in a steam bath and 10 grams of oatmeal. Stir the ingredients and apply to face. Rinse off with warm water after 15 minutes.
  • Mask of potatoes, sour cream and milk. Boil one large potato unpeeled. Grind to a state of puree along with the shell, add 2 tablespoons of sour cream and one tablespoon of milk. The mask is applied to uneven skin for 20 minutes.
  • Mask made from bread, olive oil and milk. Pour a small amount of milk into the crumb of ordinary white bread. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Stir the ingredients and apply on face for 10 minutes.

2. How to straighten the face after acne with therapy

Considering that the cause is a mechanical violation of the integrity of the skin, it is necessary to act on the deeper layers of the skin. Cosmetic products and masks are unlikely to help here. We need professional procedures and hardware treatment that will restore the dermis, starting from the deepest areas. Both the texture of the cover and the color are improved.

Options for effective therapeutic procedures:

  • Peeling. During the course, special aggressive scrubs are used, which literally comb off the top layers. The protective film is quickly restored, so if the procedure is carried out correctly, it is absolutely safe for every patient.
  • Laser skin cleaning. In modern dermatology, lasers are used even for the most serious tasks - for example, to remove wines or abscesses. It is much safer for the patient. Moreover, it is absolutely painless. Roughly the same hardware effect is applied to regular face cleaning. With the help of a laser, you can quickly get rid of the same post-acne.
  • Ozone therapy. A relatively new procedure. The skin is smoothed under the influence of the gas of the same name.

3. How to even out complexion at home using alternative methods

Despite the rapid development of medicine, modern patients still do not trust the treatment of their skin with any medicines or cosmetics. The most interesting thing is that specialists are often inclined to believe that alternative treatment can really bring a good result. Of course, provided that the patient correctly chose a specific method of treatment and took into account the characteristics of his own body.

When choosing an alternative way to even out complexion, keep in mind that each of them has its own characteristics and additional effects on the skin. For example, a drying or, conversely, a moisturizing effect. Both options will work great for blemish removal, but the choice should be made based on your skin type.

Popular alternative treatment options include:

  • Lotions and tonics based on medicinal plants. Chamomile, calendula, sage, millennial - all these herbs, in one way or another, can help you even out your complexion. To do this, you need to prepare a decoction or tincture. Further - just wipe your face with the resulting liquid several times a day.
  • Ice cubes. Cold cubes have a positive effect on the dermis, accelerating blood circulation. This means that the cover begins to recharge from the inside much more efficiently. Having prepared cubes from decoctions of medicinal herbs, you fulfill two goals at once at the same time.
  • Acetylsalicylic acid tablets. Real users claim that the best way to smooth out the skin of the face is to use ordinary Aspirin tablets externally. First, the product dissolves in water. A few drops are enough. Then it is simply applied to the entire area of ​​the face. Keep in mind that this preparation has a drying effect on the skin. If you have a problematic dry type of dermis, add the dissolved tablets to a medium-consistency sour cream. Apply the product as it is.
  • Lemon acid. Many masks contain citrus juice. The ingredient is added precisely to lighten the skin and give the face a natural tone. If you have obvious problems with blemishes on your face, it is best to use pure lemon juice. Take a gauze cloth, soak it in the juice and leave it on your face for 5-10 minutes.
  • Steaming the face. Steam baths are a great way to expand problematic clogged sebaceous channels and carry beneficial active substances into the inner layers of the skin. But, as practice shows, in some cases, the procedure can be useful in itself. For example, if your goal is to even out skin tone. Pour liquid into a container and boil it. Let it cool slightly and bend over the crockery with the towel over your shoulders and head. This will help speed up blood circulation and cleanse the face in the upper layers of the skin. If you want to maximize the effect, use a decoction of herbs instead of regular water. Or, place dried plants directly into a container where you pour the liquid. Steam will take in all the beneficial properties.

4. Skin smoothing cream and other cosmetic products

No matter what modern skeptics say and no matter how they relate to cosmetic preparations, it is stupid to argue that they are really effective. The correct selection of products will help you cope with any dermatological problem. But be sure to keep in mind that many of the proposed drugs have a narrow focus. That is, they are suitable only for a certain segment of the audience. There are excellent options for even complexion.

  • BB type creams. At the moment, preparations of this type are often used as a base for applying makeup. Although initially it was a means to quickly eliminate serious skin imperfections after surgery. The composition of the preparations includes substances that help get rid of uneven skin tone and even skin relief. Given its original purpose, it is clear that this cream helps to get rid of acne and uneven texture.
  • CC type creams. The principle of funds is similar to the previous version, but the formula of this cream is improved. Initially, the product adjusts when applied to the main shade of the dermis of the face. But over time, the skin itself begins to adapt and change its tone under the influence of certain substances in the composition of the drug. Subsequently, the color becomes uniform and does not differ in tone from other parts of the body. It is also worth noting the mattifying effect and cleansing of the T-shaped area of ​​the face.
  • Foundation creams. Sometimes, in order to even out the skin of the face, it is enough to use not specific preparations, but ordinary decorative cosmetics. In the post-Soviet space, tonal creams are currently not trusted by all users. Women over 30, who, by the way, very often have an uneven complexion, are accustomed to the fact that such funds have a negative effect on the skin. But modern substances have nothing to do with the proposals of ten years ago. Foundations also help to even out the color of the dermis when used regularly.

5. How to even out the skin of the face with the help of decorative cosmetics

Understandably, uneven skin color is a significant problem that needs to be addressed by finding the right treatments. But what if the course takes a long time and you need to level the tone right now? For example, before an important meeting, date or event? Of course, in this case, decorative cosmetics comes to the rescue.

What can be used:

  • Corrector for the face. The principle is similar to a regular foundation. But the tool has a more convenient form. It can be liquid, in an oily consistency or in solid form. You can use it as a spot for blemishes or treat the entire area of ​​the face.
  • Face powder. You are deeply mistaken if you think that powder is not able to mask visible skin imperfections in the form of spots and unevenness. The main thing is to choose the right product for your face tone.
  • Primer. New development in decorative cosmetics. In fact, it is a make-up base, therefore it effectively hides imperfections of any level.

Remember that this method will only get rid of the problem for a short time. Or rather, disguise it. Decorative cosmetics have no therapeutic functions.

An even complexion is not enough to make your skin look perfect. This is the result of long-term work and a lot of procedures. See the video below for more details:
