Foundation Nyx

Semi-professional decorative cosmetics brand Nyx presents high-quality inexpensive products for creating everyday or festive makeup. The brand's line has everything from eye and lip pencils to eyebrow lipstick and a set of face sculpting palettes. Interestingly, Nyx was named after the Greek goddess Nyx, the “lady of the night,” and was conceived as a cosmetic brand with high quality and affordable prices. Nyx foundation is a must-have for modern women. The brand line includes several types of product, depending on its purpose, density, shades, texture, and so on. We will tell you how to choose Nyx foundation and choose the right shade, but first we will get acquainted with their collection.

The long-wearing foundation comes in 24 shades ranging from light pale and natural olive to dark brown espresso and cocoa. The palette of the line is very wide: two dozen shades are created for absolutely any natural skin color for women and its undertones, for example, “olive” cream cannot be found in other brands of decorative cosmetics of a similar format and at an affordable price, but in Nyx it is easy to do.

Nyx foundation has a liquid texture with a matte, velvety finish. Its density is moderately high, which allows you to mask the skin by 100%, providing it with a comfortable and reliable coverage. The unique texture allows you to adjust the density of the product and achieve a light natural effect, if you use a small amount of foundation or vice versa, create a dense professional coverage (for a special occasion or photography) thanks to multi-layer application. Foundation "Total Control Drop Foundation" is suitable for any type of skin. Makeup artists recommend using a flat brush or fingers to apply the product and blend it. The brush is suitable for layering the product and obtaining an even coating without flaws.

The line is represented by a neutral foundation with a medium and / or dense degree of coverage, depending on the number of layers, and a light-diffusing complex. The “chip” of the product should be indicated precisely the presence of a unique complex in the composition, which does not make the face “flat”, hides minor imperfections and takes care of the skin additionally due to the content of minerals in the composition. Mineral components moisturize the skin, preventing other components from overdrying it or negatively affecting it in any way. The ideal coverage is suitable for use in everyday life or on the set, as it is practically not felt on the face. It is suitable for all skin types and ages and is available in 20 shades.

Nyx mattifying foundation is not only a novelty, but also a real must-have for girls with oily and combination skin types. It has a liquid texture with a matte finish, presented in 30 shades. Foundation from Nyx does not contain mineral oils, which means it is ideal for problematic combination skin, because it does not clog pores and allows the dermis to “breathe”. Its formula contains caring ingredients that moisturize and protect the epidermis, persistent pigments that provide a comfortable long-term coverage.

The products of this line are Nyx foundations with a high content of pigments, which allows you to create a dense matte finish for skin not devoid of visible imperfections. The tool allows you to tint age spots and other formations on the epidermis, with which classical analogues cannot cope. The cream has a dense plastic texture that does not instantly harden on the surface of the skin and can be blended with both fingers and a beauty blender. Girls call this product “photoshop in a bottle” because the Nyx foundation eliminates imperfections in an instant and makes the skin smooth, even in color and texture. By the way, the reviews about the "Invincible" foundation are ambiguous: some girls found their ideal dense tonal product, others could not appreciate its coverage because it did not immediately lie on the skin.

Nyx cosmetics, like any other professional make-up brand, produces a variety of products to create the perfect tone.For example, her line includes several types of primers, tonal foundations and creams, finishing compositions like powder and bronzer, highlighters and others.

Makeup artists of the brand recommend using foundation creams correctly: it’s easy to create a uniform coverage even at home, if you listen to their advice:

• Any foundation lays well only on a previously cleansed and moisturized face surface. therefore, before using it, do not forget to apply your usual moisturizer and allow it to be completely absorbed;
• To make the foundation lay down in an even layer and stay on the face for a long time, make-up artists recommend applying a special primer - a product with a transparent consistency and often a gel base. It fills pores and smooths out fine imperfections, smoothing the surface of the face and increasing the time of perfect coverage. The primer allows the skin to remain matte longer and retain freshness throughout the day, while it moisturizes the epidermis well;
• Foundation and tonal rem are not the same thing. The Nyx line features the High Definition Primer with a sheer, silky texture for use with the HD Studio Photogenic Foundation pigmented cream of the same name. The products perfectly complement each other, contain light-reflecting particles to create natural highlights on the skin, in other words, volume;
• It is recommended to apply foundation with a special brush or fingers. Under the influence of heat, the foundation lends itself to an even distribution and allows you to create a natural look with light coverage. Makeup artists recommend using a brush or a round sponge to create a medium density or dense coverage.However, for a too liquid texture, the sponge will not work. For example, the cream "Total Control Drop Foundation" is best applied and distributed with a brush (it has a liquid texture that is instantly absorbed into the sponge and does not give a dense coating);
• It is necessary to distribute the foundation from the center of the face with soft smoothing movements, working through each area carefully and paying special attention to “problem” areas - near the nose, cheeks, eye area;
• To work out the area around the eyes, you should use a light version of foundation or concealer.;
• To keep the coating for a long time, makeup artists recommend fixing the coating with powder.

The choice of Nyx foundation primarily depends on the type of skin.

• For a combination look, choose the "Stay Matte" foundation with a matte finish.. You can choose any other product from the brand's line and use an additional matting primer: it will not allow the surface of the face to acquire a greasy glossy sheen and will keep the foundation on its surface for a long time;

• The rest of the Nyx foundations are suitable for all skin types, including "Invincible" with a dense finish, which is also suitable for dry skin, as it contains moisturizing ingredients and does not emphasize fine peeling.

Before buying, be sure to test the product on your own skin and avoid purchasing one that is noticeable and creates an unpleasant "heavy" sensation.

Nyx cosmetics has a wide range and affordable price range.Reviews of the brand's foundations are positive, for example, women like the most popular product "Total Control Drop Foundation" because it allows you to create a different coverage density depending on the number of layers, and "Invincible" - to hide skin imperfections and look brilliant at an important event.
