1. Summer is not the time for layer cake on your face. But it is not necessary to refuse self-improvement with the help of cosmetics. Using one multifunctional tool, you can kill at least three birds with one stone. BB or CC cream will 100% cope with the duties of a primer, foundation and sunscreen.

2. Always apply cosmetics to moisturized skin. Even if you use the cream in the morning and do makeup in the afternoon or evening, apply the cream again and wait until it is completely absorbed. If the lack of hydration is reflected on the skin with peeling, then an excess of cream threatens oily sheen and "floated" make-up.

3. To find your shade foundation, apply several options on the chin line. Compare shades in natural light. Take the one that will be closest to the color of the skin on the neck.

4. Don't be afraid to sculpt the face oval, just pick suitable means and learn how to use them. Modern Products for contouring look as natural as possible. The main thing is to choose a shade of shading without an orange undertone and blend it thoroughly.

5. To get rid of dull matte skin, to give the face a dewy but not greasy shine, or just to freshen up makeup, use the following trick: apply a moisturizing fluid over foundation on the forehead, chin, nose and cheekbones. Do it with patting motions.

6. Squeezed too much face or eye cream out of the tube? Just rub the rest into your cuticles.

7. The texture of any foundation can be made lighter and lighter when mixed with your regular moisturizer. Or darker by adding liquid bronzer or more dark shade tonal base.

8. Apply creamy textures over foundation, compact and crumbly textures over powder, otherwise they may roll up or lie unevenly. This is especially true of bronzing powders and blush.

9. Concealer for the area around the eyes should have a creamy consistency so as not to accentuate wrinkles. Corrector for imperfections (inflammation, redness, pigmentation), on the contrary, should be slightly dry and non-greasy in order to stay in one place for the entire prescribed period.

10. Apply concealer under the eyes, highlighting the area in the shape of a triangle, not a semicircle. The three vertices of this triangle are the corners of the eye and the point under the pupil on the orbital bone. So the disguise will look more natural.

11. Don't know where to apply blush and where are these "apples" of the cheeks? Mentally draw a vertical line from the pupil down. Another guideline: place two fingers vertically on the wings of the nose. Blush should not fall into this zone.

12. Sometimes even the most durable eyeliner doesn't stay in place. If you have tried many manufacturers, but have not found suitable option, make a choice in favor of liquid eyeliners(especially marked waterproof). They dry immediately after application and remain on the eyelids, even if you rub your eyes or swim.

13. To pick up pink lipstick apply on lips vertical stripes three different options shade. The one that most closely matches the color of the gums is suitable.

14. When choosing red lipstick, focus on two main points. The first is skin tone. If you have a warm undertone, feel free to choose lipsticks with orange undertones, while red-crimson shades are suitable for cool tones. Neutral red, in which the warm and cold pigment is equally divided, suits everyone. The second nuance that should be taken into account is that lipstick should visually make teeth whiter, not yellower.

15. To determine if your skin tone is cool or warm, look at your wrist. If the veins are blue or purple, you have the first type. If dark, brownish - the second.

16. Usually, experts unanimously recommend abandoning cosmetics in the gym. However, if you feel uncomfortable with a “naked” face and look at yourself in the mirror instead of lunging with dumbbells, do not completely remove makeup. Mascara, brows and concealer under the eyes will not interfere with you. But foundation and powder have no place in training: mixing with sweat, they clog pores.

17. Do not apply shimmery cosmetics to areas with wrinkles: they will become even more noticeable.

18. With the help of mascara, it is quite possible to correct the shape of the eyes. To make them bigger and rounder, paint upper eyelashes towards the eyebrows and do not forget to brush the lower ones. To give the eyes an almond-shaped, cat-like slit, paint the upper lashes towards the temples, and do not paint the lower ones at all.

19. Often shadows look bright in the package and are barely visible on the skin. Fix the situation white pencil for eyes. It is necessary to shade the entire surface of the eyelid with it, and apply shadows on top. By the way, this technique also works with nail polishes: on a white base, any color becomes juicier.

20. When drawing the shape of the eyebrows, do not strive for complete symmetry: the eyebrows are sisters, but not twins.

21. If you have oily hair or mixed type, do not apply conditioner to the roots: this will make the strands lose volume. Spread the product over the area from the ears to the tips.

22. After using hair conditioner, rinse your hair with cool water to close the hair cuticles and prolong the effect of the product.

23. To make nail polish last longer, be sure to degrease nail plate before applying varnish (for this there is special means), and then every two days, apply a fresh coat of top coat on top of the previous one.

24. To make the polish dry faster, after application, dip your fingertips in cold water. Hairdryer, on the contrary, will not help the case, besides, it will make the color dull.

25. Don't be afraid to mix perfumes. This is the simplest and affordable way create your own unique composition. Iris and aldehydes add powderiness, gourmand notes add sweetness. Want to warm up the fragrance? Add warming notes of leather, oud, amber, spices to it. If there is not enough freshness, take greens and citruses.

What should every girl know? I scored this phrase in a search engine and the result simply amazed me. The list included sites dedicated to sexual techniques and a couple of sites about relationships between a man and a woman. According to the Internet (and the Internet in Lately reflects our reality) the main thing for a girl is to know how to seduce and satisfy a man. Modern girls are more concerned about this than understanding themselves, their essence.
On the other hand, gynecologists do not cease to be indignant at girlish illiteracy. More than half of the girls have difficulty remembering when they had their last period; even more ladies do not know what a cycle is at all, mistakenly believing that these are “critical days”; and to name the exact number of days of your own cycle, the cycle on which almost everything in your life depends - this can only be done by a few. And this is all in the era of highly developed information technologies, when any information is at your fingertips. This is just disrespect and rudeness towards yourself.
Listen to yourself, take a look. Have you noticed that you are not your own mistress?
Let's assume that you have normal willpower, not iron, but there is. Today you decided to start eating right, keep your figure and you are doing great. You are proud of yourself and your new image life gives you pleasure. And then once, and you abandoned your own rules. Usually you all refer to weak willpower and quietly begin to hate yourself.
It happens that you decide to start running. I got up with a fighting spirit, ran - hard, but pleasant. And after a couple of days you run and think - it's so hard, what the hell do I need this for, or you stay at home to sleep.
Why do you sometimes look in the mirror and see the most beautiful and sexy woman on the planet, and sometimes you look and see only flaws?
It happens that you want unrestrained sex, you feel like a goddess, and the whole world is at your feet, and after a couple of days the touch of your beloved man is unpleasant for you, everything infuriates and annoys you. Quarrels over petty things, tears for very “serious” reasons, and after a couple of days you wake up and say: “it’s all bullshit! life is Beautiful!"
Do you recognize yourself?! Still believe that you are your own mistress? Are you starting to doubt? And it is right!
In fact, our mood, our perception of events, our attitude to life, and therefore our lives are controlled by hormones! Not for nothing, the very word "hormone" comes from the Greek "I encourage."
So here's what every woman should know! Whole female body subordinated to a cyclically repeating process occurring in her body. Scientifically, this cycle is called ovarian-menstrual and is calculated from the first day of "menstruation" to the first day of the next. This cycle can be from 21 to 36 days. Moreover, if your cycle is 30 days, then this number should be constant, “critical days” should begin every 30 days. If there is a delay or premature onset these days - something is wrong with the body. This can be caused by both stress, stress, pregnancy, and serious illnesses. In 60% of women, the cycle is 28 days. The female cycle coincides in duration with the lunar cycle. I think that in our universe there are no accidents!

I. Postmenstrual stage (3-13 days)

Despite the fact that the cycle is considered to be from the first day of the “critical days”, in fact, the process begins somewhere from the 3rd day, when an egg begins to form in the ovaries of a woman (by the way, the largest cell human body). The formation of an egg is accompanied by an increase in the hormone estrogen. This hormone promotes the healing of a bleeding uterus, and it is he who makes us feel happy, beautiful, desirable, full of strength! During this period, a woman is able to move mountains! physical forces on top, mental activity at its peak. I want to live, love, create! And all this needs to be done, because the body gives us so much strength during this period! This period lasts until ovulation (this is day 14 with a 28-day cycle).

II. Ovulation (14-15 days)

The egg is protected by a special follicle sac, it develops in it. This follicle gradually emerges on the surface of the ovary and bursts. The egg is released into fallopian tube and ready to be fertilized. Estrogen levels drop. You may experience bloating during ovulation. pain lower abdomen, smearing bloody issues. It is necessary to abandon serious physical exertion, as this can aggravate ovulatory symptoms. These days there is a peak of female sexuality. Our body wants to conceive a child.

III. Postovulatory eta (16-21 days)

After the release of the egg, in place of the burst follicle appears corpus luteum that secretes the hormone progesterone. The main purpose of this hormone is to make the uterus more comfortable for the unborn baby. The walls of the uterus thicken, become loose, it is filled with blood fluid. Physical and psychological condition women in this period good! It is better to give preference to aerobic activities (biking, walking, dancing, swimming, running), walking, fat goes away very easily these days! You need to eat less fatty, starchy, sweet, sit less at a computer or TV, avoid stress.

IV. Premenstrual stage (21-28 days)

The level of hormones drops, so the well-known PMS can be observed! ( premenstrual syndrome). The mood deteriorates, conflict appears, the appearance of a woman may worsen (for example, acne appears). Some women even experience weight gain these days. Naturally, going in for sports is much more difficult, more often there is a feeling of hunger. During this period, it is better not to torture yourself. physical activity or diets. Need to take care of yourself! Do not let the little things spoil your mood, understand that now we are vulnerable, pamper yourself!

V. Menstruation (1-3 days)

Without progesterone, the uterus begins to get rid of the place prepared for the child, bleeding appears. Abdominal pain and feeling unwell are usually observed only for the first 3 days, then the first stage of the cycle begins, the formation of an egg and an increase in estrogen levels. And that means better health!
There is an opinion that "critical days" are the body's indignation at non-observance of the laws of nature! Allegedly, the female body is designed for the formation of an egg, the desire to fertilize it, fertilization, bearing and giving birth to a child, and re-forming an egg. Of course for modern woman- that's bullshit! We have different values, a different way of life and we do not want to give birth to 10 children. But still, understanding your nature and your essence is what every woman should know.

11. In order for the muscles to swing beautifully and not grow like jocks, exercise 2-3 times a week and be sure to stretch after training.
12. In the morning on an empty stomach 2 glasses of water, you can with lemon, after 10 minutes 2 tablespoons of olive or linseed oil(so that there is the necessary fat in the body, for breasts and maintaining menstrual cycle). You can also eat green apple.
13. After 10-15 minutes - breakfast.

it should be dense and full in order to signal the body that it's time to wake up, and also provide energy for the whole day.

22. Turn meals into torture. sit with a straight back, no TV / book, use all appliances, set the table according to all the rules! Imagine that a guy is sitting in front of you! and if you're really hardened, try to eat naked in front of the mirror!
23. Wanted to have a bite to eat, but shouldn't you? Do 20 squats, 50 jumps! Take a fragrant bath, go to the store and look at the clothes!
24. Do exercises every 5 minutes. you sit in front of the computer - go do some exercises for the press. After 5 minutes - you can squat.
25. You don’t want to eat from sports for two reasons: physically - the organs will shake, you will sweat, psychologically - you spent calories, you don’t want to gain.

26. Drink a glass of water every hour (preferably in small sips - it's healthier). Turn it into an exciting process - add lemon, mint. Love water.
27. Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, soda, fast food, chips, mayonnaise, sausage are your main enemies. Memorize these words and associate them with cellulite and sides. hate them!
28. Nuts, butter - useful, but in small quantities. These are super calorie foods. So a handful of nuts that are so easy to get carried away with can make up your entire estimated calorie content of your day! Therefore, do not get carried away with oil when dressing a salad. From this, out of 100 kcal, there may already be 200, 300, 500 ... 8 nuts per day, no longer needed.
29. Potato - just not fried. If you really want to, eat potatoes in their skins or, at worst, mashed potatoes.
30. What is in white, what is in gray bread is the same calories. So without prejudice - get used to eating without bread or switch to rye.

31. Do not drink tea, do not have such a habit at all! Only if apart from food. And no sugar, why do you need empty carbs? This is pure poison. replace it with honey.
32. Green tea- 2 cups per day. Soothes, promotes cleansing.

10 little things every girl should have in her bag

However, each individual girl in her bag has things from her personal list. must have, sometimes very unexpected, but at the same time practical and useful in every way. The list that I share with you in today's post consists of just such things. I hope they can take their place of honor in your personal list of things that you need to have with you at all times.

1. Vaseline

Vaseline is a gift from heaven for mankind. Not only does it instantly hydrate and soften skin, you can also use it on your lips instead of lipstick. Also, it can be used on the fronts of your teeth to prevent lipstick from imprinting on your teeth. This tool is sold in miniature bottles, so it is very easy to fit in a small handbag.

2. Spare wipes

Spare wipes can go with you long haul, and useful in various unpleasant situations: a sudden allergy attack, a spilled drink at the bar, or even an unbearably hot day when you have to sweat. As an option, you can try baby wipes, for especially hot days or corrosive stains.

3. Lipstick (or two)

Certainly, common sense suggests that you should always have your most iconic (aka your favorite that suits you the most) lipstick shade in your purse, but sometimes it's hard to know when you might need to change up your look quickly. The easiest way to do this is with a completely different shade of lipstick.

4. Tiny perfume bottle

Roll-on, ampoules, mini-spray: Whichever option you prefer, always keep a little trail of your iconic scent, this is a must as scents fade throughout the day.

5. Adhesive plasters

Any woman who has worn new, unworn shoes at least once in her life is familiar with this terrible agony from fresh callus and damaged skin on the foot. Why not become a victim similar situation, it is worth carrying a supply of adhesive plasters in packages one at a time, different sizes. In general, there is no reason to refuse the patch - anything can happen in life.

6. Cash withdrawn from the card in advance if you are going with friends

In today's digital world, it's very easy to fall prey to the idea that you can buy everything with just a plastic card. While this is largely true, it is still best to be prepared for any situation. Nobody wants to be that girl in the company who doesn't have cash when everyone else does.

7. Toothpicks (and chewing gum)

Most of us eat three (or more) meals a day, so it's a good idea to carry a toothpick, or even dental floss, with you at all times. if you are unable to brush your teeth. Carry a small case with a few toothpicks in your purse, or a small spool of floss, and use them first. than go outside.

And it's not just for aesthetic reasons: research has shown that using oral hygiene products can help keep your teeth healthy.

8. Your insurance policy

Sexual? No. Useful? Yes! If (God forbid) something happens to you, even if it's just an accidental fall from a height of heels and a sprained ankle, you will definitely have to see a doctor and in this situation without an insurance policy - nowhere.

9. Knipser (nippers) for nails

It is difficult to guess when a treacherous burr may appear next to the nail, which is one of the most annoying and unattractive things in the world. Carry a small bag with you manicure set with a clipper to get rid of the unpleasant guest immediately. Also, the nipser in some force majeure situations can replace scissors.

10. Phone charger

I would call it one of the must have in my purse modern girl, because the batteries of modern smartphones do not always withstand the active use of the device even until the end of the day, so if you have plans after work, you will not have to be left without communication if you have a phone charger with you

And what is the most necessary for you, what do you always carry with you?

Knowing what every girl should have in her makeup bag certainly makes life easier for us: we do not need to spend money on extra funds,

we save space, we don’t need a whole arsenal and it doesn’t take much time to get ready. Let's figure out what kind of beauty products have a place in our cosmetic bag?

1. Day cream. Of course, every woman chooses daily cream for myself personally, based on the characteristics of my skin, so we cannot name the best. Just note that the day cream should moisturize the skin and protect it from the sun.

2. Makeup base. Necessary, since foundation and other products (both concealer and blush) will last longer and will not peel off during the day. It comes in three shades: green (to hide redness), purple (with reflective particles) and transparent. Whatever shade you choose, don't worry, it will adapt to your skin tone and prolong the life of your makeup. It's good if the base contains silicone - it evens out the skin, filling wrinkles, making it smooth.

3. Corrector. There should be two correctors in your cosmetic bag, one lighter than your skin by a couple of tones (ideal to mask bruises under the eyes, wreaths, etc.), and the second with a greenish tint and antibacterial properties (hide pimples, etc.). Concealer does not have to be used daily, but it is important to have it in your cosmetic bag - it will be very useful.

4. Foundation mousse. Foundation mousse is a mix of foundation and powder. So that it does not emphasize peeling and other imperfections, it is important to cleanse the skin by doing various masks for the face, peelings and other procedures. Apply it lightly by rubbing into the skin. This tool has many advantages, the main thing is to learn how to handle it correctly.

5. Shadows. Nude shades suit everyone. It is best to use gradient palettes, where from light shade can be done smooth transition to the dark. Best to use matte shades, and separately have a pair of mother-of-pearl light shades.

6. Eyeliner.

Eyeliners are different: gel, liquid, in felt-tip pens. It all depends on which one is more convenient for you to use. Well, if you distribute them on a pedestal, then the first place will be taken by the gel eyeliner, the second by the marker eyeliner, and the third by the standard liquid eyeliner.

7. Waterproof black pencil. This is always possible from day makeup make an evening one, just bring the kayal and lower eyelid and you're done.

8. Mascara. Mascara is different, with different brushes differences. We recommend using 3-in-1 mascara: lengthening, volume, definition.

9. Eyebrow shadow or pencil. Who is more comfortable to work with? Eyebrows are an important part of the face, and if you want to look great, then eyebrows must be well-groomed.

10. Lip balm. Very very very important. Apply it to your lips at the same time as you apply your day cream to your face. This way you get soft, moisturized beautiful lips. Also, lip balm will protect your lips from overdrying.

11. Lip pencil. At a minimum, a girl needs to have two lipsticks - one is nude, the second is bright. Same with lip pencils.

12. We have already described about lipsticks, the most important thing is to choose persistent and non-greasy, matte is best.

13. Lip gloss. In fact, it is not so necessary to have it in a cosmetic bag. But it will help you with lip makeup during the day, especially since they are now releasing lip gloss along with a mirror, which is very convenient. Also, with a drop of gloss in the middle, you will achieve breathtaking lip volume.

That's all minimum set cosmetics for girls.

Your best bet is to find your perfect fit and stick with it. I would also like to note that it is better not to save on cosmetics, as well as on shoes. It is better to buy one quality cream than many different ones that will cause irritation and go to the trash. Happy shopping, be beautiful!
