修飾唔同臉型嘅化妝技巧

我們生來就有不同體型與身高,其實面形亦如此。我們經常跟隨潮流嘗試大熱的妝容或者來個明星仿妝,但結果只是發現妝容效果非常奇怪——特別是當我們沒有Angelina Jolie的完美顴骨或者Reese Witherspoon的迷人下巴。 於是,清楚自己面形就尤其重要,以便找到最適合自己的化妝手法和髮型。通過一點修飾技巧,你可以隱惡揚善,突出自己的優點同時遮蓋缺點。以下就是不同臉型適用的化妝tips,令你可以展現自己最美的一面。 1. 鵝蛋臉(Oval Face) Jessica Alba image from SHEmazing! 特徵: 橢圓形臉是最常見和最令人羨慕的臉型。 橢圓形臉的形狀高度、寬度,下巴和下顎的比例均在平均值內,所以可以盡情地挑戰各種潮流妝容。 目標: 拉長面部並突出骨骼。 技巧: 打亮顴骨以上的位置 2. 將胭脂沿著顴骨向上掃 3. 在鼻子兩側從上到下掃上修容粉,令鼻子看起來更高挺 4. 將修容粉延伸到眉頭及眼窩前端,以凸顯橢圓臉形 2. 長方形臉(Oblong Face) Sarah Jessica Parker image from Health Nut News 特徵:長方形面經常被人與橢圓形面混淆,但長方形臉其實比較寬,而下巴較窄。 目標: 強調面部中間的三分之一位置,同時縮短臉長。 技巧: 1. 在下巴尖掃上修容粉,同時打亮太陽穴和比較下的下顎位置 2. 將胭脂沿著顴骨往耳朵邊上掃 3. 在臉頰上掃上淺粉色調的胭脂 4. 避免在鼻的兩側打陰影。 相反,用修容粉掃過鼻樑。 3. 心形臉(Heart-Shaped Face) Reese Witherspoon image from Moviehole 特徵:心形臉沿著下顎線都沒有棱角,但臉頰比髮際線略寬。 下巴通常是錐形的。 目標:加寬臉部的下半部分,同時減少前額的寬度。 技巧: 1. 在太陽穴的前端和額頭側面掃上修容粉,同時打亮下顎線 2. 朝著太陽穴方向向上掃上胭脂 3. 用修容粉修飾鼻子的兩側,再打亮鼻尖 … Continue reading 修飾唔同臉型嘅化妝技巧

一換季肌膚就出事?4個保養Tips幫你安然度過「肌膚磨合期」

記得保養品同衫一樣都要換季! 圖片來源:Melan Cholia on Unsplash 在季節交替之際,不穩定的氣溫導致肌膚狀況百出,尤其敏感肌的人,有可能出現泛紅、乾癢等不適現象。 由於變幻莫測的天氣有機會讓肌膚微血管收縮、皮脂腺降低分泌、角質細胞的含水量減少,因此肌膚水油比例可能會失衡。 如果你也想改善換季肌膚症候群,安然度過難熬的「肌膚磨合期」,那就從以下4件事做起吧! 換保養品 建議捨棄多功能的保養品,改用加強補水的保濕款。可挑選質地比較清爽的保濕乳霜,這樣水份才不容易流失! 雖然說換季時最好全換上適合當季的保養品,但這不代表當下用的保養品得全部扔掉或者一定要換同一牌子的整個系列,了解肌膚在換季時的變化再對症下藥,才是正確的保養方式。 溫和清潔 在換季的時候,最好避免使用刺激性的洗臉產品(如偏鹼性的美白洗面乳)。 可改用弱酸性的溫和洗臉霜洗面,避免帶走肌膚的天然油脂,尤其抵抗力較弱的敏感肌。在潔顏時應減少搓揉肌膚次數,用輕輕按壓的方式為佳。 減少去角質次數 忽冷忽熱的天氣會引發諸多皮膚問題,避免肌膚再受到刺激,應該減少每週去角質的次數。 換季時可兩三週去一次角質,而且要慎選去角質產品,建議選擇溫和的微細砂質或乳狀的去角質產品,這樣才不會對皮膚造成太大的負擔。 加強肌膚修護 除了溫和地洗臉、補水保濕外,也需要加強深層修護提升肌膚對外在環境的保護力。 夜晚入睡前,厚敷一層凍膜或敷上保濕的片狀面膜,為肌膚補充大量水分,維護皮膚的光澤與彈性。 可別小看換季保養!保養功夫做得好,皮膚才不會「扭計」!😙 原文轉載自sunnyday from THREAD TW READ MORE: Continue reading 一換季肌膚就出事?4個保養Tips幫你安然度過「肌膚磨合期」

8個護膚地雷,你絕對要避開!

你的臉絕對會感激這一切 Photo by Noah Buscher/Unsplash 不少人都會不惜一切去加強他們的護膚程序,以求皮膚好得像發光一樣,包括試一下好多都來自網上,聽起來挺瘋狂或駭人聽聞的方法。無可否認,有時從雪櫃中隨便拿出一些材料抹在臉上是相當有趣的(Hello,牛油果和乳酪),而其中好些美容秘技的確令人獲益良。然而,與此同時亦有很多所謂「絕技」可能會有反效果,令你的肌膚受到重創。 以下是你絕對需要避開的護膚地雷: 1. 用牙膏消除暗瘡 幾乎所有人都有被這個秘技欺騙過:用牙膏消除討厭的暗瘡。事實上,牙膏充滿刺激性成分,例如過氧化物、薄荷、酒精和香料,猶如潘多拉的盒子一樣,可以預見會是場大災難。當然,它可能有助消除那粒大暗瘡,但亦會損害周圍健康的皮膚,長遠來說會刺激皮膚。 正確方法: 用真正治療暗瘡的產品,例如茶樹油或痘痘貼,能針對性地解決問題,又不會對周遭的皮膚造成太大傷害。 2. 用椰子油當保濕霜 這個方法可能最具爭議性,尤其現在椰子油實在太普遍了。如果你打算下廚、揉入頭皮按摩或滋潤乾燥的手腳,椰子油固然好用,但當面部的保濕霜?如果你aim at爆瘡,那就去馬吧!我們只能說,阻塞的毛孔就是你的結局。 正確方法: 如果你需要密集式的補充皮膚水分,不妨試試有防粉刺配方(non-comedogenic)的產品,尤其椰子油實際上含有相當高導致粉刺的成分。要選擇的話,可以由乳木果油、摩洛哥堅果油和荷荷巴油入手。 3. 用檸檬或青檸汁去死皮 你知道一滴檸檬汁就能讓你呲牙咧嘴嗎? 如果你將這些超酸性液體放上臉,下場就如同你的嘴一樣,全部皺起來。 這些原始檸檬酸過於刺激,如果你走在陽光下,很可能會引起化學反應,如皮疹,、嚴重曬傷或色素沉澱而引起雀斑。 正確方法: 用適當的去角質產品去除死皮細胞,而不是像磨砂一樣的物理去角質,因為那樣會損傷皮膚,所以我們建議使用含有AHA或視黃醇等活性成分的化學去角質商品。 你還可以嘗試維他命C的精華液,有提亮效果之餘,亦不會有檸檬的副作用。 4. 用除臭劑打造啞面妝容 我們甚至不知為何這個技巧會如此廣泛流傳,但如果你不顧一切地想要打造啞緻效果,除臭劑根本就無濟於事。 除臭劑是止汗劑,意味著它們可以抑制流汗,而不是控油。 這些成分會讓你的皮膚受到刺激,然後堵塞毛孔。 正確方法: 尋找有啞光效果的底霜,或者用透明蜜粉定妝。 Benefit Matte Rescue毛孔啞緻底霜 | Innisfree 控油啞緻無瑕底霜 5. 用酒精當爽膚水 毫無疑問,酒精對所有皮膚類型都有害。 酒精可能看來很吸引——上面感覺輕盈,好像對皮膚無負擔,而且可以去除油脂和污垢。 它通常用於清潔和消毒傷口,味道亦很好聞,但實際上並沒有清潔或調節你的皮膚。 相反,它會剝掉你所有的天然油脂,還會破壞皮膚的天然屏障,導致皮膚過於乾燥而變得脆弱和敏感。 正確方法: 使用卸妝潔膚水潔膚,既有效又補濕。你的爽膚水亦應該溫和無酒精。 6. 用髮型噴霧定妝 許多美妝KOL都建議用髮型噴霧來定妝,但這可能會對你的皮膚造成長期傷害。髮型噴霧中的醇類(酒精)和亮漆會刺激和榨乾皮膚的水分,甚至出現紅色腫塊。 正確方法: 簡單易明的道理:如果它不是為你的臉而做的,請不要用於臉上。 用正常的定妝噴霧即可。 Jane Iredale 清肌保濕噴霧 | BEAUTYMAKER 零油光完美持妝噴霧 7. 用黑頭貼 黑頭是最頭疼麻煩的,所以我們理解有人會想盡辦法嘗試任何產品來阻止它們 ——雖然看到撕下來的黑頭貼佈滿你的「戰績」,當下會非常有滿足感,但其實這一切都不值得。當然,你成功擺脫毛孔中所有討厭的黑頭,但實際上在過程中你不斷拉扯皮膚。 正確方法: 治本的方法——使用BHA產品清除毛孔中的所有噁心的粘液。 … Continue reading 8個護膚地雷,你絕對要避開!

4件一定要有嘅韓國化妝品

韓妹嘅化妝必備品 Photo by Anna Baker/Unsplash By Nica Dobles from THREAD PH 一提起韓妝,很多人肯定會聯想起護膚。韓妹最令人印象深刻的,就是他們清透又有光澤的皮膚,而一切全靠10個(或更多)的日常護膚步驟。 對比起來,韓妝可能沒那麼流行,但同樣創新。韓妹一向奉行裸妝,所以他們少少的功夫已經非常有效果。 如果你對韓式妝容潮流一無所知,我們為你整理了4款新手必備單品,令你更容易入手! Cushion 氣墊粉餅 BEAUTYMAKER 新一代零油光晶漾持妝氣墊粉餅SPF40 | Klairs 麻糬BB氣墊粉餅 韓國化妝品最出名之一就是bb cream,到近幾年已經進化成最新一代的cushion。基本上就是一塊海綿浸泡在粉底液裡面,再附贈一塊專用的粉撲以輕拍上面。 氣墊粉餅去旅行更是一流,不但便於攜帶,還可以隨時隨地補妝。有別於一般的粉底液或有色隔離霜,氣墊粉餅的配方令妝容更輕盈透薄。加上不少品牌都會加入補濕和防紫外線的成分,令氣墊粉餅完美集護膚與化妝於一身。 眉筆 Benefit Precisely, My Brow 立體塑形眉筆 | Jane Iredale 雙頭伸縮眉筆 眉毛亦是韓國人妝容重點,但化妝手法不像歐美女性般。相反,她們喜歡比較自然的眉形,只會輕輕幾筆填滿眉毛空隙。 為方便起見,可以選擇無需削刨的旋轉式軟眉筆,最好另一頭帶有螺旋形刷頭。跟著自己的原生眉髮淺淺描繪,再用螺旋頭輕力暈染即可。 唇液 Benefit Chachatint 果漾胭脂水 | VIDI VICI 漆彩瀅亮液體唇膏 同樣地,唇液亦是首選的唇部產品,質地非常適合打造年輕有活力的妝容。加分位:通常包裝和顏色一樣cute。 防曬霜 Celranico 水珠滿滿防曬霜 | Klairs 美肌粉藍防曬 韓國美妝中,最抗衰老的護膚品當屬防曬霜。真心,它不僅可以減少皮膚癌的機率,還可以保護你免受皺紋和色素沉澱的傷害。 韓國防曬霜成分輕盈,通常具有額外的護膚功效,如保濕和控油。 此外,這些防曬霜通常都是多功能,換句話說就是可以防止UVA(PA)和UVB(SPF)輻射。 READ MORE: Continue reading 4件一定要有嘅韓國化妝品
