My opinion on cosmetics / the products which I choose and how I rate them is very much influenced by my personal beauty profile described below.
Face
- Skin - sensitive, combination to dry: normal in the T line (forehead, nose, and chin), cheeks, and neck on the dry side.
- Allergies - part of my face, due to the damaged facial nerve, is very sensitive to scents and various ingredients including anti-age care. The more natural ingredients a face care product/ cream contains and the less scented it is, the better. This means such a product is less likely to trigger a very painful reaction of the facial nerve.
What I expect regarding the makeup products: moisturizing, skin smoothing, covering some skin discolorations, staying in place for at least eight hours.
Hair:
- fine,
- straight,
- soft and easily styled,
- dyed,
- medium length/ sometimes shorter.
What I expect regarding the hair care products: strengthening the hair, making it light, and look fresh and fluffy; volumizing.
Body and Hands
- Skin - on the dry side, no allergy problems.
Nails
- Tend to chip a bit - working on some improvement.
Please be aware that the same beauty items which I write about may be more or less adequate for the persons who have different skin types/needs than my own.
Have a good day!
