A recent inventory of my beauty gear revealed that I’m addicted to foundations. Maybe it’s also because I’ve struggled with impurities since I was a teenager. So if I had to limit myself to one product, it would always be a foundation. Ideally, it ensures even coverage, a slight glow and a delicate film of moisture that lasts all day long. And what can I tell you: I found it! You can read here what it is and which four other products are a must-have in my make-up bag.
Foundation: Perfect Match by L’Oréal Paris
The first and almost essential product in my beauty kit is the “Perfect Match” tinted serum from L’Oréal Paris. It covers imperfections and adapts perfectly to my skin tone. In addition, the formula with pure hyaluronic acid nourishes and protects my skin and makes it shine beautifully all day long.
UV light spray: Blue Dust from A4
Whether laptop, cell phone or tablet: screens dominate my everyday life. Unfortunately, the harmful blue light emitted by these devices is also omnipresent. That’s why I’ve just received the “Tonic Spray” from A4 Cosmetics. It is made from 100 percent plant-based cranberry stem cells that hydrate and protect the skin from the effects of light pollution from UV, digital and infrared light.
2-in-1 mascara and brow gel from Trinny London
When I work from home, I usually keep my make-up very natural. But mascara and brow gel should not be missing. All the more relaxed that thanks to Trinny London’s “Lash2Brow” I only need one product to shape my eyelashes and eyebrows. What I particularly like: The brow gel is slightly tinted, so it not only gives my brows structure, but also fills in small gaps.
Care: Night cream with AHA complex from Dr. Tonar Cosmetics
I’m a big fan of fruit acid. Because it effectively removes dead and dehydrated skin cells and thus accelerates the skin renewal process. Additionally enriched with vitamin E, the night cream from Dr. Tonar Cosmetics is my helper when it comes to impure skin. Vitamin E has a strong antioxidant, cell-protecting effect and binds moisture in the stratum corneum of the skin. My favorite for dehydrated and impure skin – and therefore a must-have in my beauty bag.
Microcell 2000 Nail Repair
Last but not least, I would like to introduce you to another highlight in my beauty bag. This is a miracle cure for strong and healthy nails. The great thing about the Microcell nail polish? The hardener ensures that the protein molecules in the stratum corneum are restored and strengthened. Especially for phases in which my nails are particularly brittle, I apply the polish as a detox treatment for two weeks and then look forward to healthy, strong nails.
