We select makeup

Color is back in vogue - metallic shadows, wine lipsticks, Twiggy's lashes (spider legs). But if you are not ready for such vivid experiments, then last year's trend of lightness and freshness is still relevant - its motto is “Beauty in simplicity”. To create a light and fresh make-up you need: a nourishing cream, a transparent lip gloss and a drop of highlighter.

Of course, a rested and healthy look can only be obtained if the skin is well-groomed. Some imperfections are corrected with a light foundation or a long-loved BB cream. Dark circles and redness can be hidden by concealer.

Whichever makeup trend you choose for 2018, even, radiant skin will always look great. Therefore, starting a new life from the new year, you need to devote as much time as possible to caring for your skin!

Particular attention should be paid to the eyebrows. Clear graphic eyebrows have long since lost their popularity. They were replaced by wide and natural ones - it is enough to style the hairs with transparent eyebrow gel. As for lipstick, in dozens of fashion shows for 2018, lipstick in dark berry and cherry shades was in the lead. Try lipstick and keep your face clean.

Choosing a new hairstyle

Very often, internal changes begin with external transformations - a new haircut or a different hair color.

A good hairdresser-stylist will be able to choose the very shade: suitable for your color type, hair, inner mood.

Hot trend is Airtouch highlighting. If you have a dark hair color, I especially advise you to pay attention to such coloring.

Airtouch allows you to change the image and lighten in one go without damaging your hair. By the same principle, you can go from blondes to brunettes.

Now in fashion haircuts with a straight cut, perfectly elongated styling or light waves instead of curls, as well as elongated bangs.

Thinking about the beauty of nails

In a new life, there is nowhere without well-groomed hands and nails. Will tell about which manicure is relevant Margarita Chepolenko, specialist in nail service at the Golden Mandarin Health and Beauty Center.

Red nails and a classic jacket are unlikely to ever go out of style, but to look modern, you need to follow fashion trends. One of the biggest news in recent Fashion Weeks is the return of long pointed nails that add drama to the look.

Silver or gold plated nails are another hit of 2018.

Also, look out for large nail decorations that mimic gems and shards of gold.

A combination of several shades is still in vogue, as is a light (nude) manicure - a milky color, a shade of dusty rose, light gray, almost orange or white manicure are in vogue. However, black manicure is also in trend.

We will not forget about ombre - a gradient manicure with transitions from one color to another vertically or horizontally. He is always very advantageous and looks impressive.

And do not calculate your manicure too much, it is better to choose the color of the varnish according to your mood!

Improving the face

On New Year's Eve, many are accustomed to doing bright, noticeable makeup, using a fairly large number of tonal and corrective products. Indeed, it is much easier to hide some skin imperfections this way. But you can go the other way - improve your skin so that you do not have to apply a thick layer of decorative cosmetics on it. How to do this, will tell Anastasia Sharova, dermatologist, international trainer in injection techniques, cosmetologist of the clinic of aesthetic medicine "Premium Aesthetics".

Of course, the chosen methods should be non-aggressive. Of the hardware techniques, skin phototherapy is considered one of the best. It is exposed to IPL light according to individual parameters. Despite the fact that it is recommended to do this in a course of about 3 procedures, one per month, the results will be noticeable after the first time. The complexion will even out, the pores on the face and manifestations of rosacea (vascular network) will become less noticeable. Phototherapy is excellent at reducing skin pigmentation, but one procedure is usually not enough for this.

It can be supplemented with biorevitalization if you have problems with dry and dehydrated skin. Hydrated skin always looks fresh and radiant, moreover, these injections will make fine expression lines less noticeable.

Immediately before going out, you can have a session of needleless mesotherapy. Preparations with active substances are injected into the skin using a laser or electroporation. After such exposure, your skin will look toned, its relief will be noticeably evened out.

Another procedure that will give a quick effect is a facial massage. There are many techniques for such massage, it can be manual or hardware, for example, myostimulation. The result is noticeable immediately: the complexion improves, the facial muscles are worked out, due to which it is possible to achieve a slight lifting effect, emphasize the cheekbones, and make the contours of the face clearer. This procedure perfectly relieves puffiness of the face and makes bags under the eyes less noticeable.

What can you do at home to make your skin look more well-groomed and radiant? Pay attention to non-abrasive peels with fruit acids. They gently remove dead cells of the epidermis from the surface of the skin, evening out the complexion and preparing for further care - applying a serum or mask according to skin type. After a month's course, you will notice an excellent result.

Before the party, you can make a plasticizing mask - alginate or collagen. It provides, albeit temporary, but still a lifting effect. Under such a mask, it is good to apply a serum selected in accordance with the type of skin. When solidified, the plasticizing mask blocks the access of oxygen to it. Thanks to this, the active substances of the serum penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.

We will tell you how to achieve harmony of external and internal and to be happy in the new year in the next, last issue. Happy holiday, dear readers!
