How to do a French manicure: Advice and tips

French manicure is a technique that consists in applying white nail polish to the tips of the nails, and then applying a layer of transparent or pink nail polish. In this way, we achieve a natural finish and perfect care for any occasion. Many of us have probably asked our beautician for this style of nail manicure, but, have you tried doing it yourself at home? It’s easier than you think. How to do a French manicure at home? Here we tell you step by step how to make your nails look better than ever. You only need a bit of patience to dry every layer. Take note: Prepare the nail: file the nail to shape it as you like it (round or square) trying to respect the natural shape of the nail, and for this not to be too long. Thus, you will manage to make the manicure last for longer. Also eliminate cuticles, and polish the surface a little bit. Base: apply a base or nail hardener to strengthen them, and when this layer is dry, start with the French manicure. White edge: apply the white polish from side to side over the edge of the nail, giving it a rounded shape. Then wait for it to dry. Top coat: end the process by applying a protective layer (top coat) onto each nail. This will help keep the polish intact and shiny for longer.

Cream blush: how to apply it and achieve a perfect skin

The blush, a ‘must’ in your beauty case Cream blush, like powder blush, contains mineral pigments, but the main difference between them is that the basis of the cream blush formula mixes oils, fatty alcohols, silicones and other emollient ingredients, to provide a soft and light texture, blending perfectly with the skin of your face. In addition, it can be applied without having to use a foundation. Which blush is best for my skin? If you have dry skin or you want to achieve a very natural finish, experts recommend using cream blush, because it usually has a more luminous finish, and it also acts as a moisturiser. But if your skin tends to be oily, powder blush will be more adequate. How can we apply cream blush? We recommend using a flat brush, but for a more natural effect, you can apply it under your cheekbones directly with your fingertips, giving it gentle dabs. And to fix it, use transparent powder and that’s it. In the case of cream blushes in stick format, you can apply them directly from the stick.

Make-up for green eyes

The “copla” - popular song - compares green eyes with basil, green wheat and green lemon. It is said that they shine like a sickle and stick in your heart… How magnetic those green eyes are! Although, the truth is that all iris colours, and above all, the personality of the person looking through them, are captivating. If you have green eyes, we propose these make-up ideas for you to give your feline eyes another dimension. Copper and metal tones Maybelline New York’s new Color Tattoo eyeshadows are going to surprise you. Their creamy texture is really pleasant and guarantees a long-lasting and glossy finish. It is very easy to get a powerful result with them: you apply them with your finger onto the moving lid, going from the inner to the outer area of the eye. For a more intense look, use dark tones on the outer part. For green eyes, metal tones are always a good decision. Long live colour If you prefer to cover your eyelids with fantasy colours and give them a summery touch, use lively tonality eyeshadows. Make-up in green tones will emphasise the natural colour of your iris, obviously. Shadows that go from pink to coral, in contrast, will make your eyes glow. If you use blue or violet-coloured eyeshadows, you will get a magical effect, only suitable for the most daring. Your imagination is the limit when it comes to choosing eyeshadows for green eyes.

Summer 2020 make-up trends: Colours and how to apply it

The pool, beach, mountains,… what with swims and walks, we spend the day outdoors, and of course, we think more about protecting ourselves from the sun than about make-up. But we’re sure you’ve got some sort of celebration on the agenda, that had been previously put off, or some outstanding reencounter. Despite having to say hello with our elbows or leaving our masks on, make-up can help to express all the joy we feel when we see our loved ones once again. Make-up trends, Summer 2020 First, let’s talk about the importance of a good foundation to create any trending make-up look. Choose the one that best suits your skin type, and on the look you want to create: a long-lasting result will depend on you choosing correctly. For summer, Maybelline’s Dream Urban Cover range is ideal; its tones merge with your skin colour. They also incorporate SPF50 and antioxidants, and block UV rays and pollution. To leave your skin even, complement the foundation with a corrector, such as Fit me! from Maybelline, which you can dab gently onto dark circles and flaws. Regarding eyeshadows, this season’s trend is the long-lasting action of cream eyeshadows such as Maybelline’s Tattoo 24 Hour Creamy Matte. It is very easy to get an impacting result with them: you apply them with your finger onto the moving lid, going from the inner to the outer area of the eye. For a more intense look, use dark tones on the outer part.

How to apply eyeliner perfectly

If you have given up lining your eyes many times because you can never get both eyes to look the same or as you would like, don’t despair. It’s all a question of calm; try different types of lines to find the one that is easiest to do and, above all, practice. Here, you have two basic techniques to draw the lines. Lining from inside to outside Start to draw the line from mid-eye out towards the corner, gradually with small strokes at waterline. Take a reference point to draw the “wing”; this is usually the end of your eyebrow. You can use another pencil as a guide. Connect the end of the “wing” you have just drawn with the first line drawn on your eyelashes. Fill in and finish off your line. With this technique the application will be precise and subtle.

How to clean make-up brushes

When we think about our skin looking impeccable, we always think of quality products and a good facial routine. However, for our make-up to always look perfect, it is essential to use quality brushes, and it is very important to clean then regularly, too. Good and careful use of your brushes will make them last longer, and will also help to avoid irritation and itchiness. Products to clean make-up brushes: Natural fibre brushes: these should be cleaned with a mild shampoo, like the one we use for children, for instance, rinsing them with warm water, thus eliminating any remains of dust, oil or wax. Synthetic brushes: pwe can simply use soap and water, and for more in-depth cleaning, a dishwashing detergent, rinsing well afterwards Brush cleaner: we can also find specific products to clean the brushes at the supermarket, too - normally in spray format -, which help to eliminate impurities. They are a great ally for your brushes to be ready in just a few minutes. How often must I clean my brushes? Brushes for liquid make-up: the brushes we use to apply foundation, corrector or highlighter, in liquid or cream, must be cleaned every few weeks, as these products quickly accumulate on the brush. Brushes for powder make-up: eye-shadow, bronzing powders, or other types of powder make-up; these can be cleaned once a month. In this way we also prevent colours from mixing and keep the brushes soft and flexible.

Make-up for blue eyes: tips and tricks

One of the biggest mistakes is to think that we should use blue tones to make up blue eyes so that they stand out; nothing is further from the truth. If we use blue, the colour of our eyes will not stand out, as it will just blend in. Learn how to choose make-up for light-coloured eyes For daytime make-up, experts recommend applying tones such as beige, gold or mink on blue eyes, if you want to achieve a sweeter look. Although we can add a touch of coral or earth tones to give more intensity. For this we will apply a light coral colour on the mobile eyelid and intensify with earth tones. Then we will outline the eye in black, but only the upper waterline to give depth to our look, and finally mascara.
