How to Look Younger with Makeup

Product Review " Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Tamarind and Purifying Micro-Pearls"

I have a combination-oily sensitive skin and I always had problems with skin care products as it either irritate my skin or cause my skin to break out. But since 04 months I started using the Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser. It is a very good cleanser. It cleans the skin without drying it out and the Purifying Micro-Pearls contained in it helps exfoliate the skin leaving it smooth & silky. In my view the product is worth buying and the size is pretty much convenient (04.4 OZ). Trust me, it will last you a very long time as a dime plop of it is more than enough for cleansing your face.

At the back of the tube they say that for better results wash your face with the cleanser and then rinse with cool water in the morning and warm water at night. And it’s so true as cool water in the morning refreshes your skin and helps minimize the pores & the warm water tends to make your skin & vessels relax & opens up the skin to absorb the moisture from your night cream.

As for the price, it's quite expensive (here in Egypt) compared to other skin care products, but still within the affordable price range.

The packaging is a squeezing tube which allows you to get out the product without wasting much of it.

My overall rating: 09/10

The end of summer is the perfect time to show some skin. You want to look and feel fresh and natural with makeup that doesn't feel heavy or melts away. The key to that fresh-faced look is all about the right mix of highlighting and mattifying goods and how you use them.

First, use a lightweight foundation--and use it sparingly!--concentrating on the areas that are the most uneven. I love La Prairie's Anti-Aging Foundation SPF 15. Follow up with a dusting a light translucent powder. By using a colorless powder you avoid the risk of mixing your foundation and powder into a color that no longer matches your skin.

For cheeks, start with a powder blush in a bright pink--trust me, it's flattering to all--and then follow it with a very small amount of shimmery cream blush right on the apples of the cheeks. TryIllamasqua Cream Blusher in Lies, but apply it sparingly to avoid looking like you have greasy cheeks. You can also use a cream highlighter in certain parts of your face. I couldn't live without Nars The Multiple in Copacabana; I use it in very specific places like the tip of the nose, the bow of the lip, above the eyebrow and on top of the cheekbone.

Now comes the most important step: Ensuring you counter any illuminating with strategic mattifying. If you go overboard with the highlighting you can look greasy and shiny. To avoid this, take a pea-sized amount of Laura Mercier Secret Finish--Mattifying and rub it between your fingers. Press firmly into the places you want to reduce shine--the sides of your nose, your chin and forehead, especially along the hairline.

By strategically placing your matte and shimmer products, you can easily create the illusion of dewy, healthy skin. Now go get your gorgeous on and enjoy these last few days of summer!
