Budget products for winter care and makeup

For women whose bathroom shelves are not full of jars and bottles, the choice of cream is an incomprehensible torment. One thing is clear: to do it in the store is extremely unprofitable. This is not a scarf, which is touched and decided everything. Relying on the words of consultants is not always a good idea: it's no secret that they get bonuses from the sale of this or that brand, and are interested in selling you a product more expensive to raise the check. Some manage to turn their noses up in disdain when you ask, "Is there anything cheaper?" In this piece, we've got the answer to that question for you - budget-friendly items for grooming and decorative makeup. As well as a list of salon treatments you can get at the beginning of winter.

What to choose from among the grooming products

First on the list of essentials will be micellar water. Remember that it is necessary to refresh your face and to remove the remains of the previous makeup at any time of the year. Micellar water with a rejuvenating effect (due to hyaluronic acid and panthenol in its composition). It is ideal for dry skin in winter.

Next on the list of essential facial products are creams: day, night and around the eyes. We choose necessary means for our age and according to our needs - face cream or mask, eye cream-serum, micellar water.

What to choose from decorative cosmetics

Let's start with the primer - the base for makeup. According to experts, in winter for dried and normal skin is suitable oil version, and those girls whose skin is prone to greasiness, it is better to give preference to a primer with a creamy texture.

L'Oréal Paris primer is an analogue of luxury oils such as Clarins Santal. Makeup artists also recommend LAMEL Photo Finish Face Primer with a creamy texture. It is suitable only for women with oily skin.

If you choose a foundation, we advise you to pay attention to the following brands for students: ART-VISAGE, firm and suitable for all skin types or estrade CC-cream satin finish. For winter makeup choose lightweight foundation Relouis with vitamin E.

What New Year's Eve ball can be complete without glittery and baked shadows? All the bloggers vied with each other and advised to take a closer look at Bobbi Brown cream variants. We have a solution. According to experts, you can replace them with liquid shadows from Luxvisage. These babies have a fairly large palette of colors - to find your shade will not be difficult, the only disadvantage - no bright colors. They can be applied without a base, directly on the eyelid.

It is also worth paying attention to Maybelline New York Color Tattoo dry shadows. They can be used as a base, look good in daytime makeup, and the darker shades can be used to draw arrows.

In the budget category, makeup artists still recommend Vivienne Sabo Cabaret.

They also praise the pencils and gel for eyebrows of this brand. The pencil suits almost everyone, has a very correct shade of blond, typical for most girls living in our latitudes. There is a brush on the cap.

Of course, in a mask mode lipstick is unnoticeable, and it seems that it will soon become completely unnecessary. However, late fall and New Year's holidays are the best time for burgundy and wine shades on the lips. The choice of makeup artists is moisturizing and matte lipsticks from Maybelline New York. According to customer reviews, it holds up just as well as its expensive counterparts.

Perfume for fall and winter

First on our list will be the budget fragrance in the lineup - Dark Delight by Brocard. The perfumer relates it to the tea theme: strong black tea on the fire with smoke and dried fruits. Just what you need when it's snowing in flakes all around, right?

Passion Dance by Avon is also suitable for cozy winter evenings. Passion Dance is a deep scent of velvet rose with spikes.

Another winter fragrance from the undeservedly forgotten Avon is Treselle. Among the bouquet of notes you can distinguish the smell of cold flowers, they will not warm you up, on the contrary, become even more crystalline, frosty in the cold autumn wind.

At the beautician's

The marathon of fall and winter treatments logically begins with peels. Different peels try to combat different problems. Almond peels are versatile, giving the skin hydration. A Jessner peel solves the problem of inflammation and is more suitable for young skin. For older skin (30 ), a retinol peel is suitable. Probably the most serious and traumatic is the trichloroacetic acid peel, it fights pigment spots and postacne scars, but requires rehabilitation.

For those who don't want to do salon peels, there are a lot of home options. They come in several formats: it can be a delicate roll-off, which is used all year round. The effect is a smooth and silky face.

In household cosmetics there is no analogue of such salon procedures, but if you really want the effect right away and chemically, you can try an alginate mask. It gives an instant effect, but it is not a peel. It is more like an urgent moisturizing and nourishing. Alginate is a powder that you dilute with water and apply to your face, it dries into a thick thick dense film. There are cooling ones with aloe or green tea.
