8個你唔察覺嘅化妝壞習慣

絕對要改咗佢! Photo by Jazmin Quaynor/Unsplash 我們每個人都會有一些壞習慣,尤其在日常生活中。但當涉及化妝的話,我們都應格外謹慎。畢竟,我們都想打造完美妝容,而壞的化妝習慣只會抵消所有我們的心機或暴露更多瑕疵。這不是相當諷刺嗎? 以下是一些你應該避免的常見化妝陷阱: 1. 用手背來試粉底液,希望找到符合膚色的色號 很多人都哀嘆要找到適合自己膚色的粉底液何其困難。事實上,除了你的臉之外,在身體任何地方試都是錯的。 或者因為你臉上已經有粉底,所以怕當你離開店鋪時會膚色不均。 無論是什麼原因,在你的下顎線上試才是萬試萬靈的方法!

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

點樣挑選自己嘅命定唇膏?

女士們別怕,這裡有你必學的挑選技巧 Photo by Jakub Gorajek on Unsplash 曾經何時,你有試過站在唇膏專櫃前整整5分鐘,手上拿滿各種色號,但卻始終猶豫不決?這份指南能幫你做出決定! https://media.giphy.com/media/1Uabj0QDFQ7As/giphy.gif 第一步: 清楚自己需求 https://media.giphy.com/media/xUA7b0RgJ296MVY6C4/giphy.gif 要選自己命中註定的唇膏,以下這2點關鍵因素不可忽略: 膚色深淺 如果你是化妝達人,心裡應該已經清楚自己最適合那個色號!但如果你是新手,不用不知所措,只要在天然光線下觀察自己的皮膚,一般膚色可分為幾個類別:白皙、偏白、自然色、偏黑、深色。 2. 肌膚色調 你皮膚屬於暖色調、中性調還是冷色調?一個最簡單的方法,就是觀察自己的血管。如果呈現藍/紫色,你很有可能是冷色調。如果你是綠色血管,則屬於暖色調。以上皆不是的話,就有機會是中性色調。 第二步: 尋找自己喜歡什麼 https://gph.is/1NUYSEu 知道自己膚色深淺和肌膚色調後,可以去尋找適合自己的幾個選項,再探索哪個令你心潮澎湃。 白皙或偏白膚色最適合珊瑚紅、桃色和裸色。 自然膚色與玫瑰、紫紅色和莓色最為相襯。 偏深膚色最好搭配珊瑚紅色或粉紅色。 深膚色的與啡色、紫色和酒紅色搭配最出色。 第三步: 唇膏妝感 https://gph.is/15zSU7J 唇膏是化妝步驟的最後一步,關係著整個妝容,所以唇膏的妝感可以說是至關重要。 不同的妝感的唇膏,如啞光、亮面、膏狀、絨面和霧面都各自適合在不同場景擦。 霧面、啞光或絨面是OL的最佳選擇之一,因為效果夠持久,如此就不用擔心要重覆塗抹了! 光面或比較膏狀的唇膏最適合出夜街的女士們,因為夠閃亮有光澤,你的嘴唇絕對會令你整夜成為全場焦點! 第四步: 踏出comfort zone https://gph.is/1Z8QlIo 最後,盡情享受和探索吧!要謹記,規則是用來打破的。:) 讓我們知道你的命定唇膏是哪個吧!

乖乖卸妝,臉上還是長了一堆粉刺!破解卸妝5大迷思

明明就卸得很乾淨啊! credit: Pexels 原文轉載自 sunnyday for THREAD TW 懂得保養的人都知道,臉部清潔非常重要!化妝後忘了卸妝,這對肌膚來說絕對是一場災難,事後用再高級的保養品、每天瘋狂敷面膜也於事無補。 戶外污濁的空氣,臉上的油脂、汗水和細菌,加上殘留在臉上的化妝品,這些都是導致毛孔阻塞的罪魁禍首,不但會滋生粉刺、黑頭和痘痘,嚴重的話還會造成皮膚病。 卸妝清潔是光滑肌膚的關鍵,一旦偷懶後果可是不堪設想。不想讓辛辛苦苦保養的肌膚因忘了卸妝變成「花面貓」,記得要避免以下5個卸妝習慣! https://media.giphy.com/media/T9gaRtx86s6zK/giphy.gif 1. 用力地卸妝 怕卸妝不乾淨用力地搓臉?拿起卸妝用品隨便搓幾下? 2. 同一張卸妝棉 很多人都習慣性用同一張化妝棉卸完整張臉,但其實這是不對的。 不管你從臉部還是眼部開始卸妝,都會把最初卸掉的化妝品轉移到下一個,這不但無法有效地把臉上的彩妝全卸掉,還可能造成毛孔阻塞或皮膚發炎。建議用兩張或以上的化妝棉,直到沒有化妝品殘留在臉上為止。 3. 出門就要卸妝 擦防曬是出門前的指定動作,從戶外回家後,該不該卸妝呢? 如果只是擦一般的防曬用品、沒有帶妝的情況下,用洗臉乳或洗臉霜把臉洗乾淨就好。有時候不適當的卸妝會造成過度清潔,反而會導致皮膚乾燥。 4. 錯誤的卸妝產品 挑錯卸妝產品也會導致皮膚問題,像油性皮膚使用卸妝油後可能會有閉鎖性粉刺或痘痘問題。 如果不了解自己的膚質,請教專業的皮膚科醫師吧!唯有買對適合自己膚質的卸妝品才不會造成日後的不適。 5. 卸完妝就算了 下班後累到癱瘓,回到家只想躺著不動。 但是,再累也要卸妝啊!而且卸完妝後一定要用臉部清潔用品,確保臉上的髒污全都掰掰後,再進行後續日常保養程序。 想要完美無瑕的肌膚,先從卸妝清潔開始吧! 注:圖片取自網絡 READ MORE: Continue reading 乖乖卸妝,臉上還是長了一堆粉刺!破解卸妝5大迷思
