Cream shadows

Cream shadows do not accidentally occupy a worthy place in the cosmetic market. They are easy to use, with their help, you can quickly apply a full-fledged make-up, without fear that it will fade or crumble during the day. The special soft composition allows you to easily mix different colors and their shades, achieving the desired optimal result.

The following distinctive features of such cosmetics can be distinguished:

• ease of application;
• creating the perfect makeup in a short time;
• the ability to use when applying multiple layers at the same time;
• firmness, naturalness and smoothness of the skin texture of the eyelids;
• the oil emulsion, which is part of it, provides moisturizing of the eyelid, thanks to which the skin is smoothed out in a natural way, and fine wrinkles may disappear;
• a large number of flowers;
• durability and versatility (can be used at any time of the year - both in winter and in summer, when dry shadows can quickly lose their brightness in sunny weather).

Cream shadows have several advantages over dry, which, unfortunately, often tend to crumble, to lose brightness and color fastness, especially when weather conditions change sharply. Experience shows that it is much more practical and beneficial to use the composition in the form of a cream than to apply the “good old” dry shadows. The cream base often does not require the selection of a special base, since all the necessary substances that provide optimal stability are already contained in the composition. The skin does not dry out, there is no discomfort, and a rich choice of colors (from regular matte to evening options with glitter) helps to create a unique color palette for each woman.

Due to the special soft consistency, when applying cream shades, it is possible not only to achieve natural makeup and different shades of color, but also to ensure smooth transitions from one color shade to another. When using dry shadows to achieve this effect is usually impossible. If, however, it turns out to achieve something similar, the effect disappears very quickly, and makeup loses the original brightness of the colors.

Cream shades should be chosen in accordance with the purpose and reason for their application. Delicate, light beige and white colors are ideal for day makeup, and elegant (gold, brown and black) will create an extraordinary atmosphere during a holiday or party. Waterproof cream shade is ideal for women who are engaged in swimming or other water sports. There is a variant of persistent cream eye shadow, made in the form of a pencil: it can be successfully used as an eyeliner.

If desired, you can make cream shadows with your own hands. For this you will need:

• dry shadows;
• small plastic container in the form of a jar, always with a tight-fitting lid;
• lotion or petrolatum.

A small amount of dry eye shadow is placed in a container (you can do this with a small knife or a nail file). To create a creamy mass, add a little petroleum jelly or lotion so that everything does not work out too thick. It is necessary to add carefully, gradually, at first having placed quantity of petroleum jelly in size in size with a small pea. Now you need using a cotton swab or a fingertip to mix the composition so that all small lumps dissolve and the mass looks homogeneous. Store them at room temperature, in a container with the lid closed. Sometimes, if the room is very hot, you can even keep them

For a start, it is important to decide on the choice of color, or several colors.

Since the cream shadows are quickly fixed on the skin, it is recommended to apply them as quickly as possible, with precise and accurate movements. In order not to smear the shadows, it is necessary to apply them as quickly and accurately as possible.

It is best to apply the cream shade with your fingertips, as if hammering the mass into the surface of the eyelid. From the warmth of the skin, shadows retain softness and plasticity much longer. This provides the best temperature conditions for feathering. If necessary, you can use the brush - for example, to have access to any part of the century or to draw the arrows as clearly as possible. The brush should be with a blunt end: this is the way to apply shadows to any part of the century, each time turning the tool at a certain angle.

The shading of the shadows should be done so that one color smoothly changes into another. There should be no sharp boundaries between colors. It is important to show maximum patience and creativity in order to achieve an indescribable game of color shades. When you reach a certain level of skill, you can use both fingers and a brush.

When drying:

• First you should try to remove the dried top layer. It is possible that under it the shadows still retain their original properties. If this does not help, you can dilute the shadow with a small amount of micellar water or add a few eye drops. A good alternative in the case of drying cream shadows is a special tool with a pipette "Duralayn."
• In addition, you can use to soften any oil - vegetable, olive, or even castor (followed by gentle mixing). Vegetable and olive oils are recommended to use in the amount of 2-3 drops, one small drop will be enough for castor oil.

Day makeup with cream shades implies both the maximum technical simplicity of execution, and the speed of application. The main goal of daytime makeup is to give your eyes maximum expressiveness, artfully concealing fine wrinkles and skin defects. Apply it better in natural light, which helps to emphasize all the advantages of appearance. For daytime make-up suitable shade of all possible light or pastel shades, ranging from light beige and ending with lilac.

On the corner of the upper eyelid on the outside should always impose a darker tone. Then you need to shade it through the century with abrupt movements of your fingers, heading for the bridge of the nose. Then you can visually enlarge the eyes with the help of any bright tone, thereby creating the best contrast that will most effectively emphasize the brilliance and expressiveness of the eyes. It is important to ensure that all transitions between colors are smooth, almost imperceptible.

Creating a day's makeup for green eyes, it is best to apply colors such as gold, copper, purple. Women with brown eyes and dark skin, too, will suit the shade of all possible golden shades. Brown-eyed blondes with pale skin are recommended to combine white, blue and light green colors, and for gray and blue eyes the best option would be shades of gray, pale coffee and beige.

Creating an evening make-up, it is always better to use the most dense and saturated colors of shadows, preferring the flickering and shining shades. Evening makeup should look more elegant and festive - compared to day.

Eye shadows should be applied using a flat brush. First you need to bring a dark color to the outer corner of the upper eyelid - using a hard brush with a pointed end. The color is bleached towards the middle of the eyelid, then a soft brush marks the area from the inside corner to the middle of the moving eyelid (using a suitable light tone). In the end, any bright "flickering" tone is applied to the mobile eyelid.

Silvery or golden shades are perfect for green-eyed brunettes. For blondes with green eyes are well suited colors such as milky coffee, olive, brown, dark gray. The expressiveness of blue and gray eyes emphasizes the shadow of silver, brown and dark lilac.
