Having a set of brushes for each stage of makeup is essential for those who have products with different textures, colors and functions in beauty. Check out all the brushes that work in creating facial makeup below.

Pin

Foundation brush: Usually with dense bristles and a straight or slightly rounded shape, the foundation brush is perfect for ensuring even coverage across the entire face. It makes it easier to apply liquid or cream foundation, distributing the product evenly and minimizing visible marks and lines.

The tip is to apply the product from the center of the face to the edges in gentle movements, avoiding buildup in the areas near the nose and jawline.

Pin

Concealer brush: With firm bristles and a smaller, more compact shape than the foundation brush, the concealer brush is ideal for covering blemishes, acne marks and other shades in specific areas of the face.

Its precision allows you to reach small, narrow and delicate points on the face, such as the inner corners of the eyes and the sides of the nose. Applying concealer with this brush gives a natural, weightless finish and avoids excessive build-up in fine lines.

Pin

Powder brush: This brush is known for having soft, long and voluminous bristles, ideal for applying compact or loose powders all over the face. In addition, it allows for a smooth application, depositing an even amount of product on the skin, which helps to seal the make-up quickly and prolong its duration.

It is especially useful for applying face powder to the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), maintaining a matte finish throughout the day without product accumulating in expression lines and pores.

Pin

Contour brush: The contour brush has angled bristles that easily adjust to the areas where the contour is applied, such as the sides of the face, the temples and the jawline.

It allows you to define and enhance the shape of your face, creating a play of light and shadow that enhances your facial structure. The application should be light and well blended, ensuring a natural, mark-free contour.

Pin

Blush brush: With soft, rounded or beveled bristles, the blush brush is designed to add color and a healthy touch to the cheekbones. It makes it easier to build up the intensity of the blush and provides a smoky finish, avoiding a marked look. When applying the product, the tip is to make circular movements to blend the blush well into the skin, creating a harmonious result.

Pin

Highlighter brush: Usually smaller and fan-shaped or with more compact bristles, the highlighter brush is used to apply shine to the high points of the face, such as the temples, the Cupid’s bow and the tip of the nose. This brush applies highlighter lightly, creating a natural and well-directed glow.

So, which of these brushes are already part of your makeup kit?

In recent years, Brow Lamination has become the favorite technique for those who love to highlight their brows in a natural, non-invasive and temporary way. “It’s an innovative practice that allows you to achieve more voluminous and uniform eyebrows, providing a renewed and elegant aesthetic to the face,” explains Marina Groke, beauty specialist.

Pin

How it’s done

To shape, align and define the eyebrow hairs using this technique, the professional needs to follow a few steps, such as cleaning and preparing the hairs to receive the treatment. At this stage, the strands will be “straightened” and shaped in the desired direction.

Therefore, during this stage, the hairs are combed and fixed upwards, creating a more defined and voluminous shape for the eyebrows. Afterwards, a nourishing product is applied to condition the hair and ensure a healthy, shiny result.

Pin

Benefits

One of the main benefits of brow lamination is the ability to completely transform the look of the eyebrows temporarily. This technique allows the hairs to be shaped according to individual preferences, creating a more defined arch that lifts the eyes and fills in areas of the eyebrows that have gaps, providing a more voluminous and uniform appearance.

Pin

This treatment is temporary, which allows you to try different styles and shapes of eyebrows in a non-permanent, zero-invasive and painless way.

So, who was excited to ensure more aligned and voluminous eyebrows?

From the lightest and most liquid product to the densest, the idea is to “seal” and maintain hydration on the face for longer, retaining water in the skin and thus keeping it healthier, protected and away from dryness. Experts recommend this technique for dry and/or mature skin, as it tends to be more affected by flaking, itching, sensitivity and even roughness.

Pin

“Which active ingredients should I use?” Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide and vegetable oils are the favorite active ingredients for moisturizing the skin. In the long term, the result is softer skin and a protected skin barrier.

Pin

Layers of products can end up leaving the skin with an extra glow and even a slightly “oily” appearance. Therefore, prefer to follow this routine at night, before going to sleep.

That’s because this way of doing your nails provides greater durability than classic nail polish, giving you more time away from the salon and leaving your nails beautiful for any occasion.

Want to know more about this technique? Nail designer Grazielle Matos, one of the biggest names in the segment in Brazil, explains the difference between the techniques and the care that makes them last longer. “As well as saving time, they save money because gel polish lasts longer, avoiding weekly visits to the manicurist,” explains Matos.

Gel polish and regular polish

Those who wear classic nail polish find that they peel off more easily and quickly. “It’s common for this type of nail polish to come off after three or four days, making it necessary to go to the manicurist once a week,” she says.

Gel polish, on the other hand, offers more color and pigment and stays on the natural nail for longer. “This technique lasts an average of 25 days, without losing its shine or peeling,” says the professional.

How does this technique work?

Pin

“To use gel nail polish, preparation is carried out, with dehydration of the natural nail and the use of specific products, such as primer and gel base”, advises the specialist.

Pin

“Very safe, the application must be done by a nail designer, since the enamel cannot come into contact with the skin and there is a need for a booth to dry and finish,” she adds.

Gel polish care

Simple habits that can be practiced on a daily basis are essential to make gel polish last longer. “Moisturizing the cuticle is essential, whether it’s regular nail polish or gel polish, because it ensures that the skin around the nail is always healthy and beautiful,” she says.

Check out other care tips from the nail designer:

Pin

Don’t file your nails: “This way the nail won’t lose strength and we avoid the nail polish peeling off at the tips,” she says.

Wear gloves: “Every time you use a chemical product in your household routine, such as detergent, bleach, washing powder or chlorine, protect your nails. Some of them are corrosive and can peel the enamel”, highlights the specialist.

Pin

Don’t put your nails in your mouth: “Women who bite their nails remove nail polish more quickly because the acid in their saliva contributes to corroding the gel, damaging its aesthetics,” she says.

Who wants to try gel polish? And those of you who already use the technique, which colors do you love the most?

Naturally straight hair, on the other hand, tends to be silky and its texture can vary between fine, medium and coarse, where the oil can travel the length of the strand to the ends without difficulty. So, although apparently the same, these two types of hair require different treatments, but always with the aim of keeping them healthy and beautiful.

Although natural straight hair seems to be easier to care for, without the right habits it can end up looking weak and lifeless. With this in mind, Paula Breder, creator of the PB philosophy and founder of a phytocosmetics brand, listed some specific care tips for straight, chemical-free hair.

Care When Washing

One of the peculiarities of naturally straight hair is excess oiliness, because the straight structure of the hair fiber makes it easy for the oil present in the scalp to run down the length of the hair to the ends, often leaving the hair looking greasy and, consequently, heavier. This is not the case, for example, with wavy, curly or frizzy hair.

As this type of hair tends to get oily more easily, it may need shampoos and products with sebum-regulating agents. You also need to be careful about using too many products such as conditioners, synthetic oils, leave-ins and pomades. To avoid excessive oiliness, use a small amount and only on the lengths and ends.

Use A Hair Mask Weekly

Moisturizing straight hair is essential to keep it healthy, loose and well aligned, as well as protecting it when it is exposed to daily aggressions such as sun, wind, rain and pollution.

The idea is to include hydration in your hair care routine once a week, but if you feel that your hair needs extra strength, increase the frequency. Choose moisturizing masks specific to your hair type, designed to meet the real needs of your hair fiber, so you will have all the benefits of the product.

Be careful with heat tools

Pin

Let your hair dry naturally, or use a hairdryer on a low heat setting. Straight hair tends to need less heat tools, so use this to your advantage. Avoid frizz and split ends

Frizz and split ends are recurring problems in those with straight hair and tend to be quite annoying, as they become more visible. Coincidentally, most of the time, both negative effects are caused by excessive use of heat, such as hairdryers, straighteners and curling irons, as well as daily exposure to pollution, sun and wind.

To avoid all this, you should use cold-pressed vegetable oils, as they protect your hair from damaging weather conditions. And of course, always keep the cut up to date, trimming is a healthy habit to adopt.

“I use a moisturizing hair mask at least once a week at home. I choose an appropriate mask for my hair type, which is bleached,” she says. To do this, she applies the mask to her hair and puts on a kind of plastic cap to “warm it up” and thus enhance the hydration. To enhance daily hydration, she uses a repair oil to moisturize the cuticles before bed. “To avoid brittle hair, I invest in products that nourish and repair damage,” she adds.

Pin

Furthermore, Fernanda revealed that under no circumstances does she sleep with wet hair, as this can damage the hair and even the health of the scalp. “I also take great care when drying my hair. I never squeeze my hair too much, nor tie it up with a towel. Hairdressers I’ve worked with say that it’s best to use a cotton fabric to remove moisture without damaging the hair. This also influences when styling and combing,” she reveals.

Pin

She says that it’s important to wash off the shampoo very well and replace the conditioner with a nourishing mask. “I was given these guidelines a few years ago and it’s been working very well. I let the mask act for about 5 minutes before rinsing it off. You don’t need to buy an expensive mask,just choose a product suitable for your hair type”, he reinforces.

Pin

In addition to specific products for her hair type, the model, who has acted in London, Germany, Miami and Brazil, explains that she prioritizes a balanced diet rich in nutrients, in order to strengthen her hair “from the inside out”. “In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s very important to have these moments of self-care, whether it’s exercising or taking care of your skin and hair. Taking the time to take care of yourself goes far beyond aesthetics, it contributes a lot to our mental health,” she adds.

Dr. Juliana Farias, a Dermatologist and Trichologist, points out that hydration is the first fundamental step in keeping lips healthy: “It’s important to drink a good amount of water daily and apply lip moisturizer regularly. Furthermore, it’s crucial to use lip sunscreen to protect the lips from UV damage.”

If you already have dry and cracked lips, Farias recommends applying more powerful lip moisturizers, with formulas with active ingredients that enhance skin protection. She warns that vitamin deficiencies can also cause dry and cracked lips, so it is important to maintain a balanced diet.

Moisturizers with formulas rich in vitamin E, panthenol, cocoa butter and Shea butter are the most recommended, as these active ingredients are known for their moisturizing and nourishing properties, helping to keep lips soft and healthy.

Once a week, it’s also worth gently exfoliating your lips with a product suitable for the area, in order to remove dead skin and stimulate lip renewal. “We should take care of all our skin, and the lips are no exception. Since they are covered in thin and delicate skin, they require special care. Lip exfoliation can be done once a day, three to four times a week, using products found in pharmacies or homemade methods such as coconut oil and coconut sugar, which gently exfoliate and moisturize the lips,” explains the specialist.

Although we have countless options for finishes, shapes and shades of red lipstick, did you know that this color has been famous since Mesopotamia? That’s right, 6500 BC the ancient Sumerians painted their lips by mixing different ingredients. Years later, in ancient Egypt, men and women also created their own mixtures with red ochre, carmine, wax or fat. Red lipstick in the classic format we know only came about in 1880, through the Parisian brand Guerlain, which had a formula made from grapefruit mixed with butter and wax.

Want more tips? Actress Ana Chiyo shares five ways to get the perfect red lips:

– Choose a lipstick with a quality formula that does not crease or run. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but look for trusted brands (the beauty market offers incredible brands at great prices).

– Before applying red lipstick, it is important to ensure that your lips are soft and moisturized.

Pin

– Don’t apply lipstick directly to your lips. Before applying your chosen lipstick, outline your lips with a red lip pencil in the same shade or close to the lipstick.

– When wearing red lipstick, prepare your skin thoroughly. Use foundation, concealer, contour, mascara and blush.

– Red lipstick tends to fade more easily than other colors, so it’s important to do touch-ups throughout the day or night. Keep the lipstick and a compact mirror in your bag to reapply when necessary. Remember to remove any residue before reapplying for a flawless finish.

Now we’re curious: what’s your favorite red lipstick?

Below, check out some tips and habits for this moment in your beauty routine, ensuring strong, healthy and beautiful nails!

Step 1: Remove the Nail Polish

Pin

Wipe off any nail polish or product residue that is on your nails. To do this, avoid the chemical agents of acetone and bet on a compound-free remover – this helps not to damage the nails or dry out the skin of the hands.

Step 2: Cut and File Your Nails

Pin

To prevent your nails from breaking easily, trim their length and file them – always respecting their natural shape. Caution: use a nail buffer (the one to give shine and remove ripples) in moderation, since in excess they can thin and weaken the nails.

Step 3: Cuticle Care

Pin

Did you know that cuticles protect the base of the nail against fungi and bacteria? Therefore, the main care for them is hydration!

You can push them with a cuticle pusher or even remove the excess skin, but never forget to keep the area moisturized daily with a hand cream, thus preventing dryness.

Step 4: Applying the Base Coat

Pin

Pin

The base coat penetrates the nail and prepares it to receive the nail polish. You can bet on the strengthening and nourishing versions, in order to reinforce the health and protection of the nails.

Step 5: Applying the Nail Polish

Pin

Pin

Choose a good quality nail polish, explore the color options and pick your favorite! Before applying the product, gently move the bottle to mix and even out the color. Avoid shaking the bottle, as this can create bubbles and ruin the enamel.

Then apply two coats to each nail to ensure intense, smudge-free coverage.

Step 6: Applying a Glossy Top Coat

Each mask concentrates specific benefits for the skin, such as nourishing, preventing aging, treating acne, detoxing, reducing oiliness, reducing pores and much more – everything will depend on the product’s formula.

When it comes to composition and texture, besides the classic fabric face mask, nowadays there are other types as well, such as cream, clay and liquid masks (also known as peel off).

Pin

Pin

With clean and dry skin, you can apply the cream, clay or peel-off masks with a brush or even with your fingers. Wait the action time indicated on the product packaging and then remove the mask with water. For the peel-off mask, after the product has completely dried on the face, you can gently pull it from the sides to the center of the face – if any small pieces of product remain, just remove it with a cotton round and water. In all cases, then just follow your skincare routine normally.

For the fabric mask – the famous sheet masks, apply it on your clean face, adjusting so that it covers the entire face. Wait for the action time indicated on the product packaging and then remove the fabric, but do not rinse your face. Just wait for the skin to completely absorb all the liquid and voilà: treated skin!

Pin

Pin

The use of a face mask is not a substitute for daily skin care, but it can help to enhance treatments. Nowadays, the beauty industry offers masks for all skin types, as well as for specific needs of each one. This type of product (regardless of its texture or composition), should be used once or twice a week and the indications vary according to the special needs of your skin.
