Cream shadows

It is no coincidence that cream shadows occupy a worthy place in the cosmetic market. They are easy to use, with their help you can quickly apply a full-fledged makeup, 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 several layers at the same time;
• firmness, naturalness and smoothness of the texture on the skin of the eyelids;
• the oil emulsion, which is part of the composition, provides hydration to the eyelid, due to which the skin is naturally smoothed, and small wrinkles can 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 a number of advantages over dry, which, unfortunately, often tend to crumble, lose brightness and color fastness, especially under rapidly changing weather conditions.Experience shows that using the composition in the form of a cream is much more practical and beneficial than using the "good old" dry shadows. A cream base often does not require the selection of a special base, since all the necessary substances that provide optimal durability are already contained in the composition. The skin does not dry out, there is no discomfort, and a wide selection of colors (from ordinary matte to evening options with sparkles) helps to create a unique color palette for every woman.

Due to the special soft consistency, when applying cream eyeshadows, you can not only achieve natural make-up and different shades of color, but also ensure smooth transitions from one color shade to another. When using dry shadows, this effect is usually impossible to achieve. If you still manage to achieve something like this, then the effect disappears very quickly, and the makeup loses its original brightness of colors.

Choose cream shadows should be in accordance with the purpose and reason for their use. Delicate, light beige and white colors are ideal for daytime make-up, while elegant colors (gold, brown and black) will create an extraordinary atmosphere during a holiday or party. Waterproof cream shadows are ideal for women who swim or do other water sports. There is a version of persistent cream shadows, 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;
• a small plastic container in the form of a jar, always with a tight-fitting lid;
• lotion or vaseline.

A small amount of dry shadows is placed in a container (you can do this with a small knife or nail file). To create a creamy mass, add a little Vaseline or lotion so that everything does not turn out too thick. It should be added carefully, gradually, first placing an amount of vaseline the size of a small pea in a container. Now you need to use a cotton swab or your fingertip to mix the composition so that all the small lumps dissolve and the mass looks homogeneous. Store them at room temperature, in a container with a closed lid. Sometimes, if the room is very hot, you can even store them

To begin with, it is important to decide on the choice of color, or several colors.

Since cream shadows are quickly fixed on the skin, it is recommended to apply them as quickly as possible, with precise and gentle 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 cream shadows with your fingertips, as if driving a mass into the surface of the eyelid. From the heat of the skin, shadows retain softness and plasticity much longer. This provides the best temperature conditions for shading. If necessary, you can also use a brush - for example, to have access to any part of the eyelid or draw arrows as clearly as possible.The brush should have a blunt end: this is how you can apply shadows to any part of the eyelid, each time turning the tool at a certain angle.

Shading shadows should be done so that one color smoothly passes 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 play of color shades. Upon reaching a certain level of skill, you can use both fingers and a brush.

When dry:

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

There are different options - makeup should always look appropriate. They should be considered in more detail.

Day makeup with cream shadows implies both the maximum technical simplicity of execution and the speed of application. The main goal of daytime makeup is to give the eyes maximum expressiveness, while skillfully hiding fine wrinkles and skin defects. It is better to apply it in natural light, which helps to emphasize all the advantages of the external appearance. For daytime makeup, shadows of all possible light or pastel shades are suitable, ranging from light beige to purple.

A darker tone should always be applied to the corner of the upper eyelid from the outside. Then you need to shade it over the eyelid with jerky movements of the fingers, heading towards the bridge of the nose. Then you can visually enlarge the eyes with any light tone, thereby creating the best contrast, which most favorably emphasizes the brilliance and expressiveness of the eyes. It is important to ensure that all transitions between colors are smooth, almost imperceptible.

Now you need a brush, rounded at the end - to highlight the lower eyelid with the darkest shade.The area above the eyebrows is recommended to be marked preferably with a mother-of-pearl, light tone.

When creating daytime makeup for green eyes, it is best to use colors such as golden, copper, purple. Women with brown eyes and dark skin are also suitable for shades of all possible golden hues. For brown-eyed blondes with pale skin, it is recommended to combine white, blue and light green colors, and for gray and blue eyes, shadows of gray, soft coffee and beige colors will be the best option.

When creating evening makeup, it is always better to use the thickest and most saturated colors of the shadows, giving preference to shimmering and radiant shades. Evening makeup should look more elegant and festive than daytime makeup.

Shadows should be applied using a flat brush. First you need to draw a dark color on the outer corner of the upper eyelid - using a hard brush with a pointed end. The color is shaded towards the middle of the eyelid, then the area from the inner corner to the middle of the moving eyelid is indicated with a soft brush (using a suitable light tone). At the end, any light “shimmering” tone is applied to the moving eyelid.

Silver or golden shadows are perfect for green-eyed brunettes. For blondes with green eyes, colors such as milk coffee, olive, brown, dark gray are well suited. The expressiveness of blue and gray eyes is emphasized by shades of silver, brown and dark lilac colors. Brown-eyed brown-haired women are recommended to use purple, lilac and dark brown ultra-resistant tones.
