Skin beauty product as of now 2010

December 25, 2010

As of 2010 Xmas, this is what I am using now for skin and 'beauty/handsome'.

截止2010年圣诞，这是我用的护肤，‘美’肤用品。

Firstly, washing my face.

先洗脸

Then toner - 爽肤水. Basically hydrating and oil balancing your skin, make it a bit more comfortable. This one I use has 0% alcohol; 0% perfume or color.

爽肤水，就是补水，油水平衡，让你的皮肤舒爽一点。我用的这个是没有酒精、香精、色素。

Lower row - 1st group is for eye. Eye lotion and eye roller. Use one of them first so the skin of the eye can be protected from the following lotions. The following lotions are better not applied to the eye area, but just in case, still using the eye lotions first are better idea.

Lower row - 2nd group - serum/emulsion/essence/special treatment 精华液. For making special treatment for special condition. For me, postponing the eye side wrinkles from happening. Therefore, this doesn't have to be used all over the entire face.

Lower row - 3rd group - Moisturizers 乳霜. I normally use 'Olay Prox hydra firming cream' at night; 'Olay Regenerist micro sculpting cream' at day time. Don't forget your neck.

Lower row - 4th group - UV 隔离爽. You know, in Australia, the dark spots are mostly due to the sun. This can be or better used after the product in the next image.

Upper row - 1st group - Hand and Nail

Upper row - 2nd group - Lip balm. Although very cheap, Blister Fruit Smoothies is the best lip conditioner in the world, as I firmly believe. It is not available in Australia. I always buy me some when I am in Vancouver. You can get it from eBay though. :)

At this stage, the skin care step is done. If going further from here then it's beauty/markup step.
OK, why a man, a dude want to wear markup? Well, I don't. Only if and when I need to go to participate in photo taking. Like the ones we do in holiday getting together; or any other important cases which is rarely happening in the first place. Therefore, the following listed, they are actually very seldom used.

下排－第一组，眼霜。要先抹，后抹的不宜用于眼部。所以先抹也能有一点保护。

下排－第二组，精华液。用于特别修护。象我就是防鱼尾纹的。

下排－第三组，乳霜。OLAY ProX弹力水凝霜我一般晚上用；OLAY 新生塑颜金纯面霜白天用。别忘了脖子。

下排－第四组， UV 防晒隔离霜。在澳洲，日光是导致黑斑的主凶。这个最好是用完下一个后在用。

上排－第一组，手和指甲修护霜。

上排－第二组，润唇膏。 Blister 的 Fruit Smoothies 系列，尽管很便宜，我我觉得是世界上最好的。可惜澳洲没有。每次我去温哥华都买点儿。你可以在eBay上得到。

到这一步，护肤就结束了。要在继续就是化妆美容了。
一个大男人干嘛要化妆？我一般不化。只节假日照相，和极少发生的特殊情况时才会。所以下面的物品都极少用。

Benefit Dr. Feelgood 柔丝打底霜（猪油膏）is the first thing you need to put on in the areas you are going to use markup. For me, only the places near my right eye and a few places on both cheeks. This will separate the markup from your skin. * So the markup is never directly made on your skin. You will never be bothered with the itchy face caused by the foundation or concealer products. Some people said they are experiencing with peeling effects when they apply it. Sometimes I do too, but later I found out that you need to change the area of the sponge you use to apply it from time to time, if you use up all the clean areas of the sponge, just change to a new sponge. Also sometimes, it also helps if you blow it with the hot air using a hair dryer a little bit. Try pad no swap, especially don't swap over the area already applied, pad.

(Note: * Many people absolutely hate Dr. Feelgood, because they are using it on top of their markup. And it does appear in the Dr.Feelgood package the wording "over markup". But most Asian use it before markup as a separator. And I think that is the correct way to do it.")

Benefit/贝玲妃柔丝打底霜(猪油膏) 必须先抹在需要化妆的部位。对于我来说就时右眼附近，和两颊局部。它可以使化妆品和皮肤隔离，你就不会有底妆造成的毛孔瘙痒。有些人说猪油膏上的时候会搓泥。有时我也会。这主要因为你要时不时更换海绵的部位，不要等到脏了的时候。海绵用完了就换新的。要按压，不要推扫，特别是在已经上过的地方。有时用电吹风吹一下有帮助。

Foundation / concealer:

SK II Facial Treatment Cream Foundation (透亮感上質光潤肌 SK-II 光透晶緻水凝粉霜，光透晶致水凝粉霜). This one give you a natural sheer that minimize the powder cakey appearance.

Missha perfect cover B.B cream color No.2. This is a very famous BB cream. I like the fact it is watery and lasts long. But it cannot be put directly on your face like they claimed, you must use Benefit Dr. Feelgood to separate it, otherwise at the end of the day, the area applied is dehydrated and looks very bad.

Revlon concealer, I only take it for its yellow/organ color, use only when the dark circle is very dark.

Maybelline one for about the same reason.

底霜／遮瑕：

SK II (透亮感上質光潤肌－光透晶緻水凝粉霜，光透晶致水凝粉霜)
这个上完后有类似皮肤的光泽，比较没有卡粉，和重的妆感。

Missha perfect cover B.B 霜 color No.2 （23号）。这个作为BB霜一般都是直接用的，我是用在猪油膏后。这款很有名，因为很水润，持久。但我发现用完后时间一长很干，皮肤有干纹。

Revlon 和 Maybelline 的 concealer 只是用它的比较黄的颜色，黑眼圈重时用一下。

Then, high light / Brow

MAC cream color base - Pearl 珠光油. This is a famous highlighter. It doesn't make your face shine like a pearl or like a girl. It is just natural skin normal reflectiveness. It is perfect to use as highlight and use a little bit in a place that getting a little bit cakey and powdery.

Loreal white pencil. Use when, where, and if needed.

Rimmel grey eye brow pencil. Never use black color, too difficult to control and to apply.

A brow brush and small brush for blending in smaller area, like brow and tear duck.

打光／眉毛

MAC 珠光油。很有名的打光品。它不会让你的脸变的很亮，只是正常的类似皮肤的反射光泽。用在打光的部位，和偶尔妆重的地方就很好。

Loreal 白化妆笔，偶尔需要时用一下。

Rimmel 灰颜色眉笔。不喜欢用黑色的。不好控制。

眉刷，小号妆刷，用在眉毛，泪沟等细小的部位。

Finisher - Estee Lauder AeroMatte Ultralucent Pressed Powder. You need transparent powder (a little bit) on top of the markup you made to set it, making it last longer. Normally they use loose power and a brush to do it. But I just use pressed power, because I found loose power too messy to maintain. I just take a bit extra care not to apply too much. Ultralucent is great, it is extra transparent.

定妆－ Estee Lauder 的 AeroMatte Ultralucent 粉饼。你需要透明粉（越少越好）附在用了妆的地方。可以使妆持久。一般用散粉（又叫密粉）。但要用刷子，时间长了就很脏，不好打理。所以我就用粉饼，只是要小心不能多上。Ultralucent，就是超透明。

Before and after. Not bad, only that it took my natural blush away a little bit. I'm still trying to think of a way to retain or restore that in a natural way...

As you can see, I have a little bit problem with my right eyelid. This can be easily fixed with the following product.

‘之前’ 和 ‘之后’。还不错，就可惜夺走了我的部分自然红润。我还在想如何能让它可以自然保留或回复的方法。

我的右眼皮有点儿问题。这个用下面的产品可以轻松解决。

Eyelid glue 双眼皮胶

What about mascara and false eye lashes? Don't be ridiculous. wearing markup at all is already very girly.

假睫毛，睫毛膏怎么办？别太搞了，用化妆品已经够女气了。

卸妆

MAC cleanse off oil markup remover (卸妆油). You must use dedicated make-up remover oil, you should never use any other kind of oil, like baby oil.

Garnier delicate eye make-up remover lotion, use only on eye area.

Garnier Cleansing Milk make-up remover cream. use on the entire face.

The first two need to be used with the cotton pads. The cream is used as face wash before any other normal face wash.

MAC 卸妆油，你绝不能用其他类的油，像是婴儿油。

Garnier 的眼部卸妆水。只用在眼周。

Garnier 的卸妆乳。

前两个要用卸妆棉，后一个就象洗脸一样用，用在其他洗脸用品之前。

Hair product. I normally don't use them, because I normally have very short hair type of hair style. Mid length hair only during winter time.

美发用品，很少用，我一般都是超短发型；中长只冬天。
