Hello my beauties!
In March, I had a post that you should not worry about cosmetic brands that have left our market, we have enough of our own. In today's article I will kill two birds with one stone:
1) I will tell you about the cool ART&FACT tools (this is the second most popular request from you after Domix and Arabia);
2) I will mention Russian brands of decorative cosmetics, otherwise I somehow set everything about skin care, makeup products apart. Fixing it :-)
Let's start with what will prepare your skin before makeup no worse than going to a beautician - serums ART&FACT
Proper skin care is 70% of high-quality makeup that will not float or clog into wrinkles.
And here we will talk about ART&FACT skin care products. The brand has long been called the Russian analogue of The Ordinary. In some ways, our Russian protégé has surpassed the Canadian "smart skincare" mastodon.
At ART&FACT, I like that the percentage of the active ingredient in the composition is immediately written in the title. They always send a detailed description of all the means: what and for what, and when to use. They completely close my beauty-boring fad: study in detail how much each of their products will fit and experiment with care.
I selected 4 favorite serums, I will tell you briefly about each.
Rejuvenating serum with niacinamide 5%, encapsulated retinol 0.4%, lactic acid and an amino acid complex.
Niacinamide is the only ingredient proven over the years and millions of girls that really reduces oily skin. Serums with it should definitely be in the care of those for whom oily skin type adds problems in makeup (and in quality of life too).
This serum from ART&FACT will improve the quality of the skin, make it less oily (retinol will also correct the inadequate functioning of the sebaceous glands), make-up will not slip and will not add oily sheen.
Can be purchased at Yandex Market, there is a good promotion for serums now.
Surrounding serum with caffeine, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid crosspolymer and EGCG.
I love using this serum in the morning, it perfectly moisturizes the skin around the eyes and reduces bruising.
I wrote a long time ago, and I'm not too lazy to repeat. Caffeine is a cool ingredient, due to its low molecular weight it really penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and delivers other active substances of the serum. They are able to remove excess fluid from the tissues.
If your face is very swollen from days 14 to 28 of the cycle (which is absolutely normal in the premenstrual period, our progesterone is growing), then you will definitely be able to evaluate the benefits of this serum with caffeine

Brightening Facial Serum with Vitamin C 15%, Rosemary Hydrolate 1%, Argireline 0.5%, and Aloe Vera 0.5%
A must-have for those who need to lighten post-acne, but have not found the perfect concealer for themselves.
My favorite, I use it in the morning, it helps me to lighten post-acne and small pigmentation that appears in the summer.
You can check the price and order here.
A rejuvenating anti-aging facial serum with alpha-arbutin, medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid and lactic acid.
Another serum useful for the summer, which will not allow unnecessary pigmentation to appear on your skin after a long stay under the sun. I wrote about her back in May last year.
Brightens the skin, evens out the complexion, moisturizes. The serum contains a high concentration of alpha-arbutin. It blocks the synthesis of melanin - these are the very cells in our skin that "produce" age spots.

We figured out the care part before cool makeup, let's move on to decorative cosmetics
Below I have listed domestic products that I use in my work, in my make-up and love them with all my heart.
SHIK
A brand created by makeup artist Natalya Shik. A few months ago I tried some of the brand's products and was pleasantly shocked.
Love for the brand started with mascara, I have already used up several bottles, the third new one is in stock. I got a friend hooked on this mascara, she is also delighted with it. And makeup teachers.
ink elegantly lifts eyelashes, twisting them, does not crumble during the day. The brush is very comfortable and separates lashes better than any other mascara I've tried in over 30 years.
After that, I decided to try a pencil and lip gloss. Back to the bullseye! Although I have a lot of lipsticks and pencils, my husband really likes this combination.
I have a pencil in the shade - Verona. He reddens a little, I usually don’t like this, but I like the color of this particular pencil. I use lip gloss with it Cool Beige. This combo is just made for each other.
I give this gloss a fat plus for the fact that it is not sticky at all. In windy Kaliningrad, going out with gloss on your lips is not always the best solution, because your hair constantly sticks to them. In the case of Shik, this is not the case.
ELIAN
Tone cream Silk Obsession Mattifying Foundation has a natural finish despite being claimed to be matte. It covers imperfections well and does not emphasize peeling.
concealer Vibrant Skin Concealer just the same with a matte finish. Its coverage is average: it will calmly mask small bruises or inflammation on the face.
Blush is one of my favorites in liquid format (and I retested a lot of them in my work). my color 03 CUTE - such a warm, almost coral shade. The consumption is minimal, just a drop is required for makeup, it blends perfectly, both with a brush and just with a finger.
Next time I will talk about Russian products that will make the skin sleek and slightly radiant. It performs its task so well that you can safely delete your Photoshops from smartphones. Interesting? If yes, put "thumbs up" and subscribe to the channel!
