FAQ

How do I choose the right foundation?

The most suitable foundation is the one that will have exactly the same shade as your skin, and not a little darker or a little lighter. We test it directly on our face, unless we are painted then we do the test on the base of the neck or in the corners.

How do I choose the right concealer?

Unlike foundation, concealer should be a tone lighter than your skin tone to add light and glow to the eye area. For those of you with fair skin, the most suitable concealer is "white", if you have dark skin, we recommend the dark one. Finally if you have dark circles under the eyes to get 100% coverage use pink shades.

How to properly clean the face? (makeup remover)

Proper cleansing is done when we use cleansing emulsion and lotion for combination-normal skin and soap or gel together with lotion for oily skin.

The lotion should be used immediately after cleansing, essential, because it is the one that restores the skin to the correct ph. The lotion also removes water salts and prepares the skin to accept the cream (base).

Is eye cream necessary?

We will ask you a question. Do you use foundation on the rest of your face? If so, why not in the eyes? The eyes are the most sensitive area of the face. It is the first point that breaks. The most correct way to apply an eye cream is to apply it with your ring or last finger.

When is skin considered oily?

Your skin is considered oily when it shows sebum secretion all over its surface, which means that the skin is shiny, pimples and blackheads are created. The resources are pretty obvious.

We recommend the Matte Skin Face Care from the silicium+ series by Adriana Karembeu. It contains soft touch powder which is a powder made of microspheres and gives a matte look to the skin. It contains lactic acid which helps with hydration and is non-greasy. It balances, hydrates and nourishes the skin giving a smooth and matte appearance. Very good base for makeup.

Which nail polish is right for you?

I'm sure you've also been in the following position: you've fallen in love with the color your best friend wears on her nails, but when you go to paint them with the same shade, the result is pure disaster.

And always, always, you blame either the nail polish or the beautician who did it. But the truth is different. The nail polish you chose simply doesn't suit your skin tone.

So once you know which shades flatter your skin, the more foolproof and super your choices will be.

So, follow these steps:

^Study your skin tone

Regardless of the nail polish you choose (matte, metallic, pastel or dark), what will determine the final result is not its texture, nor the money you have spent on it, but the color of your skin.
If the skin tone has a more yellow or olive note then beige, orange, coral and chocolate colors are more suitable. If the skin has a bluer shade, the ideal are varnishes in pink, fuchsia, violet and blue notes.

^Test Drive

If you haven't decided which category you belong to, take the following test. Take on the one hand a bright red nail polish (tomato color with strong yellow notes) and a cherry red nail polish (with blue undertones). Once you wear both polishes you will understand which group of shades flatters you the most.

^For extra shine

If you want your nails to look more shiny, don't be afraid of pearl polishes. They have nothing to do with those straftalises you were used to in the nineties. They are clearly more subtle and give you that glow that even the brightest top coat can't give you.

^Ask for help

A good beautician knows from the first moment she sees your nails and your skin which polish suits you best. That is why, before reaching a decision, it is good to consult an expert who clearly has more experience.

^A test will convince you

Before you decide what color to paint your nails, experiment. Try on your nails 2-3 shades that you have come up with and you will instantly understand which is the one that comes closest to your mood and your wants.

And don't stick to one layer. Put a second one to get a better picture. It's a shame to leave disappointed. The goal is to do a manicure that will cheer you up and make you want to show off your nails everywhere... in a good way.

How to apply eyeliner?

Choose your eyeliner color based on your eye color. Browns, blues and grays bring light to light eyes, while darker browns and plums flatter brown eyes. Make sure the eyeliner color complements your eyeshadow color and isn't out of place.

Think about the effect you want to give your eyes. The eyeliner offers a softer and more natural effect, while the liquid versions offer more precision and intensity. You can also use a wet brush to apply dark black eye shadow instead of eyeliner. The waterproof eyeliner in black and brown is ideal, as well as TommyG's permanent eyeliner.
