Finding a good foundation that is suitable for a variety of skin types can be tough. So how do you choose between a department store makeup counter and a website? As a Shine On fellow this is what I found:
When you are walking past a department store, buy a couple of things off the shelf and go home. Go to a drug store and buy the rest of your makeup there and then walk around the storesarming it.
The difference in the two cases is though the amount of middle ground between the two cases. A department store makeup counter is designed to give you a quick color change, do this quickly and efficiently and provide you with useful information to aid your beauty choices. A website, on the other hand, is designed with a much higher educational objective. Because of the website, you will be provided with much more comprehensive information surrounding the functions of each product on the market, along with basic information about skin types, which would assist you in determining the appropriate colors for your skin.
While the department store makeup counter has considerably more competitors, the website is definitely more competitive due to the enhanced information provided to the customer.
This comprehensive information can include such factors as skin type, season, event,ummine coloration,ratings, lips and glossability. By knowing these things, the consumer can make better relevance choices to enhance their overall look and achieve a much more attractive and natural look.
In addition, to domains of expertise, the department store makeup counter has a huge advertising budget behind it. Because of this fact, the product reviews there are much more comprehensive and most of the time, are more honest than those found in glossy magazines.
One of the most comprehensive sections on the internet is the ‘rating’ scale as provided by Amazon. How big is the Amazon rating? It ranges from one to five stars. Can you believe that? It’s true! I kid you not! Does this mean that if an item has five stars, it really works? Simply NO. Of course not.
Even though five stars is a big number, I’m not going to go out and tell you how it all works in practice. Instead, I’m going to take a look at one of my favorite products, which is a dearly loved cream I will never, ever be without.
Everyone of us loves Clarins Beauty Flash Balm. Clarins is a company that was started byants based in France. Originally they made soaps and detergents for industries, but then it changed in 1980 to beauty products. In 1990 they released their very first beauty product, Flash Balm. Flash Balm is a bronzing cream that gives a very sheer color to your skin and looks like a very translucent tan. For many years Clarins has been associated with the beauty industry in the most important way and remains one of the most iconic brands in the history of beauty.
However, all of this is sad to me. My mother used to tell me stories about being made fun of by people in her family for being pretty. To me, lying in the sun to get a tan was never an attractive thing; it was just an everyday thing. And to have your own little skin tanned in the comfort of your own home was just absolutely unbelievable. My mother would always say to me, you’re lying in the sun because you love yourself. But I think she might have beenorrying about me, too.
So, I started to learn about makeup and how important it is to make yourself look as beautiful as possible. I learned about the importance of being able to choose the right colors to wear and what tools to use when applying makeup. Every day I learned how to put on eyeliner and lip liner for my particular skin color and shape. I learned about contouring and shading. All of those things that my mother used to teach me about made my foundation and concealer easy to find and affordable.
Makeup technology then, as now, was still a guessing game. Colors were shades of shades of brown. Mesmerizing colors like fire and ice were around for pretty much any occasion. Thousands of colors were available off of that huge profit they made off of us being in such a hurry to meet the visually demanding standards of our peers.
Over time, my mother bought me more advanced equipment to use for my makeup and I grew to appreciate every second I got to spend in the makeup aisle of my grandmother’s makeup store. I appreciated the chance to try on different colors and bargain around with the different manufacturers. It worked out for me, and I hope it worked out for you, too.
My mother died when I was only seven years old. I never knew her family, and she never told me about her sister’s death. She never explained anything about how she had cancer. I grew up without a lot of information about cancer or the occurrence of it.
