The basis under the shadow - is it always necessary?

The modern technique of applying makeup is strikingly different from the one used by women of fashion a couple of decades ago. Then no one had ever heard of such things as the foundation under the shadows. Today makeup artists assure that it is impossible to do without it. Let's try to figure out whether this miracle is really necessary in our cosmetic bag or is it another waste of money?

Many of us already know well that competent make-up is impossible without a base. The foundation under the eye shadow, in fact, serves the same utilitarian purpose. It does not allow the coloring pigment to clog deep into the pores of the skin, so the shadows stay much longer, do not roll down or crumble. However, this is not grounds for asserting that this cosmetic product is necessary for everyone without exception.

Take, for example, makeup age. As a rule, to cope with all the problems, the base under the shadow is not enough. For this case, the so-called filers are more suitable. They tighten the skin, and circles under the eyes mask.

Another problem in which it is not recommended to use the base under the shade is the excess fatiness of the eyelid skin. Here, you know, more powder is useful, which absorbs excess.

I will tell you honestly, it is difficult for me personally to imagine a situation in which the basis under the shadow is needed categorically. Without this little detail it is quite possible to do, especially if you are not confused by the shadows that have floated, who have lost their original color. In the end, makeup can always be corrected. However, if you are a supporter of absolute perfection in everything, this product will not be superfluous in the cosmetic bag.

Base under the shadows - which is better?

In cosmetics stores, you can now find a wide variety of goods. But this often puts buyers at a dead end. By experience, many know that expensive is not always the best. Therefore, it is often possible to determine which shade under the shade is right for you, you can only try a few options. However, the feedback of other customers about this or that product also often helps to make the right choice.

So, the rating of the most popular databases under the shadow, according to the Internet users.

Persistent base under the shade Urban Decay has an original design of the bottle, a convenient applicator for applying the product. It is made in four color shades: natural, gold, bronze, matte light yellow. This allows you to use this cosmetic product for make-up everyday and on the way out. Color bases can be used as ordinary shadows, they have a suitable texture.
The base during application is almost imperceptible, but it does well mask redness, small sosudiki. In addition, Urban Decay perfectly copes with its main purpose - the preservation of makeup. Gives the shadows extra shine, which looks good in the options for the evening. The price of this miracle is about 650-700 rubles.

The base under the shadow of Sensai Eyelid Base from Kanebo has the properties of a moisturizer. At least, this is promised by the manufacturer of this, not cheap product. However, it does not justify expectations. Too unsuitable for the base gel texture dries for a long time, the masking effect is not observed. As a base for shadows, designed to increase their durability, Sensai Eyelid Base is no better than the previous product. Well and humidification? With this and ordinary creams do well. By the way, the price of about 900 rubles was not acceptable to me personally.

The next in our rating is the base under the shadow of "Artdeko" produced in Germany. Despite the relatively low price - about 300 rubles, the basis has many positive reviews. It should be noted that "Artdeko" is a well-known manufacturer of professional cosmetics. However, we must emphasize that in the marathon of three products, this base loses its durability. But if you are not going to keep makeup for twelve hours, "Artdeko" can be used. With the rest of the tasks, such as masking redness, strengthening the shade of shadows, lightening the skin, the base does an excellent job.

Technique for applying the base under the shadow

There is nothing difficult in correctly putting the base on eyelids, of course, not. The main thing in this case is not to overdo it with the amount of money. It makes no sense to impose more than two layers.

To ensure that the delicate skin of the eyelids is not stretched additionally, the base is applied in the same way as the eyelid cream, that is, with easy driving movements.

Before applying shadows, take a short pause so that the base, as they say, grabbed.

Do not forget to close the jar tightly with a cosmetic product, otherwise the base will dry quickly and become unusable.
