Flawless skin and full coverage with cream foundations

April 20, 2016 Yasmin

We all know our favourite liquid foundations which are giving a light to medium coverage.

But what should we do if we are struggling from skin problems, dark circles under the eyes, scars on the face ?

The liquid foundations coverage is not strong enough.

This is the moment when we will choose a cream foundation to cover and correct all these skin problems and correct the skin types.

We will talk about the Kryolan Cream foundations.

For the first time you will say no, Kryolan is a Professional Stage Makeup and its only for stage or TV.

It is for makeup artists but if you know exactly how to use the products you can easily use them on a daily basis.

Lets do a quick and useful review of our amazing foundations:

Supracolor is an oil based moisturising cream foundation also known as greasepaint. Perfect for normal to dry skin and for the mature skin. The best to apply with a wet sponge by dabbing for a full coverage, glossy finish.

2. Dermacolor as a texture is a bit dryer than the Supracolor. Specifically made to cover the different skin problems, discolorations, tattoos and scars. Can be used for all the skin types. Application with wet sponge semi glossy finish with a full coverage.

3. Ultrafoundation is a creamy texture easy to apply and blend. Perfect for the dry skin. Application with a foundation brush with a full coverage and semi glossy finish.

Tip of the day: for a flawless skin and full coverage apply thin layers of the cream foundation. Build it up from very thin layers rather than applying a thick layer creating a mask effect on the skin.

Visit our blog tomorrow we will share with you some lovely infos about the TV Stick foundations and their usage on a bad skin.

Dubai Zombie challenge

I attended the three days Dubai zombie challenge that took place in wonderland, Dubai from 7^th till 9^th of April 2016

The event was organised and supervised by the famous French Le Manoir de Paris, they are specialised in makeup and special effects.

There were 2 amazing ladies Laura and Dalila they were responsible for the clients that wants to change into zombies, they took good care of them with smiles and love from the entrance till the makeup room, and they also were supervising the whole event.

Then another French person to train the new zombies, in addition to two more men that were responsible for all the details of the game from maintenance to the safety of the clients, They were very well organised and they planned everything that they even had first aid kit to help the clients.

First day i went before we start we had a meeting with the two professional French makeup artists Emilia and Camilla we were seven makeup artists in addition to them, by the second day we ended up in only 5 persons, they divide us as follows

One group for the latex
One group for the Air brush
One group for coloring details
One group for the final touch of clothes and hair and rest of the body
Camilla and Emilia took over the Air brush details and were also overlooking all the groups to make sure that we were on the right track

They also decide that we rotate every day so that we all get to learn everything in the process, also during the breaks they encouraged us to practice on our own bodies to learn more all the tricks.

They were both very supportive and helpful they treated us as a team, they fluded us with all the experience and data needed to make sure that we become experts in such a short time, doing all the tricks and moves live really made a difference with us.

They were answering all the questions asked, it was really not only an event it was like a professional special effects course and workshop at the same time.

We had a lot of fun with all of them we even had the chance to try the game itself .

I am really happy I was chosen to attend this event i learned totally new things in a very interesting filed of makeup which is the special effects, I want to thank Livia in the first place she is the one who recommended me to the group of the event, thanks for the support Lipstick Makeup institute.

The correct foundation application

April 12, 2016 Yasmin

Brush? Sponge? Beauty blender or fingers?

What is the right way? Well it depends what is the texture of your foundation.

If its liquid the best is to apply with a foundation brush or buffing or kabuki brush. This way the foundation layer will be thin and invisible on your skin but the same time a nice coverage. The Beauty blender is for blending the foundation after the brush application.

Cream foundations especially if we are using Kryolan Supracolor, Dermacolor or TV Stick the best to apply with wet latex sponge by dabbing in the skin not dragging around the foundation.

Tip of the day: If you have a dry skin and wondering how to achieve dewy and healthy glowing skin here is our tip for you. Before applying the liquid foundation spray your face with a water spray or rose water.

Do this between every single step. The rose water will give you a moisturised and dewy look.

Are you wearing the right colour of the foundation?

April 11, 2016 Yasmin

The most common problem that all of us struggling from to find the right colour of the foundation we are wearing.

When you go to the makeup store forget about trying the foundation on your hands. The reason is:

is not the same colour like your face
the skin on our face is more sensitive
the skin on your face is a different skin type than your hands so of course you have to find the matching foundation to your skin type.

The process of trying and finding the right colour is very simple. Pick up 3 colours which are very similar to your skin colour and try them on your face near to the jawline area. The colour what blends in completely to your skin and not visible that is your foundation colour.

Tip of the day: When applying foundation, apply it little by little build up your foundation. In this case you will get a perfect coverage and will look natural not caked up and a mask effect on a face.
