Outdated things in cosmetics and how to replace them

The market of the cosmetic industry is developing by leaps and bounds: manufacturers vying to surprise buyers with new textures and unusual shades. The marketing race has its advantages: formulas are regularly improved to make the products as easy to use as possible and, accordingly, cause a desire to return for a purchase.





However, many girls out of habit continue to use the means that they chose many years ago. Do not be afraid of new products, we will tell you how to refresh and brighten up the daily beauty routine.

Outdated cosmetics and how to replace them
  1. Hard eyebrow pencil
    At the beginning of the zero there was no tendency to apply makeup on the eyebrows. Not the last role in popularizing the trend was played by social networks, and especially Instagram. Looking at the expressive eyebrows of the models, the women went to the store and took what was sold: hard-graffle wooden pencils that scratched the skin, left ugly borders or, conversely, did not give up pigment at all. Stop taking it!

    What to replace: soft lipstick for the eyebrows create both a clear ponytail and a natural stitching. Persistent means do not smear or flow. Thick hard eyebrows do not lend themselves to styling and look unkempt? This is the task of the mascara for the eyebrows, which tones the hairs and fixes in the desired position. If you need to fill empty spaces and draw natural hairs, use a marker with a thin tip.

  2. Dense compact powder
    How many times has a little powder helped young girls with problem skin? Well, we thought so. The thick layer slightly concealed red pimples, but perfectly emphasized peeling where it seemed that they could not be. Many people like to keep powder in their purse to remove greasy shine and refresh their makeup. But is that right? What to replaceIf you get into the habit of using self-fixing matte tonal cream, then nothing. Such formulas are worn well all day and do not need additional fixing. For less resistant bases, use crumbly powder, which covers the face with a thin matte veil, smooths the pores and gives a fresh look.

    “But crumbly powder is inconvenient to carry with you!” You don't have to. Putting powder on a layer of protruding sebum is a bad idea and a direct way to clogged pores. Use matted napkins: wet your forehead, nose and cheeks.


    A few words about powdered products with talc. The component extends the shelf life of the goods, absorbs moisture and skin fat. The mineral is not dangerous, but sometimes provokes inflammation on oily skin. Replace the composition with talc with a remedy with silica or mineral cosmetics.

  3. Stone blush
    Because of the cheapness and ease of use, powder compact blushes are the favorites of many girls. Their niche took baked products that give the skin a light shine. But with formulas that have existed for many years, two opposite problems arise: the texture is either too hard and does not give any effect, or too rash and puts a stain that can not be brushed. Neither the first nor the second paints a woman. What to replaceLook at the new consistency. Cream blush is a stunningly multifunctional product that can be applied to the cheeks, lips and eyelids. Liquids please with durability and natural appearance.




  4. Dense dry tonal bases
    Ten years ago, we had never heard of color correction or consoles, and therefore chose a tonal that covered everything: disadvantages, advantages, and everything you put it on. To pay for such luxury had skin health: dense consistency clogged pores, and even looked on the face mask. But there were no alternatives. Admit it: who still uses the cream "Ballet"? What to replaceIf you’re not an Insta model or a blogger, you don’t need a supercoated tonal. For each day, choose a lightweight base with a satin finish that will level the tone and lie down like a second skin. A great alternative is new products from Asia: BB and CC creams. Serious disadvantages cut the console or color proofreaders: green - for redness, peach - for bruises under the eyes.




  5. Liquid matte lipstick
    I mean, super matte. Immaculately matte. So dry and matte that it lies with bald spots and crushes its lips into an accordion, sucking all the moisture out of the epidermis. Familiar? Throw it away. Throw her out now! What to replace: lipstick with velvet finish. They are inferior to matte in resistance, but provide comfort and do not provoke peeling. Another option is cream matte lipstick in tubes, which differ in a gentle composition.






And finally, we want to remind you that makeup is primarily about self-expression, freedom and fun. If you find your favorite product in the list, then safely use it with pleasure and continue to shine with beauty. And if the inner artist asks for something new, go for it!
