Stop buying cosmetics randomly! These secrets you must know

In the world of a dazzling array of cosmetics, how to select products that suit oneself is a question in many people's minds. When buying cosmetics, first of all, one should clarify one's own needs. Everyone's skin type is different, divided into dry, oily, combination, and sensitive. For example, dry skin is prone to water shortage and peeling, and products with high moisturizing degree need to be selected, such as moisturizing face creams, essences, etc.; while oily skin is prone to oiliness, and refreshing and oil-controlling skin care products, such as light-textured lotions, oil-controlling toners, are more suitable.

Nowadays, the network information is rich, providing us with convenient channels to understand. We can understand the actual usage effects of products through the product reviews of beauty bloggers. However, it should be noted that some bloggers may have promotional behaviors, so we can't just listen to one side of the story. We should synthesize the evaluations of multiple bloggers. Meanwhile, professional beauty forums are also good places to obtain information. Here, we can see the real usage feelings and experiences shared by different consumers. For example, when discussing a certain liquid foundation, someone will mention its concealing power, durability, and whether it is prone to dullness and other issues. These first-hand information are crucial for our choice.

What is learned from books is superficial after all; one must practice it oneself to truly understand it. When buying cosmetics, one must go to the counter to try them. When trying, apply the product on the face or hands, feel its texture, whether it is light and easy to spread, or thick and sticky; observe its color, whether it matches the skin tone. For example, for liquid foundation, it should blend naturally on the face without the phenomenon of fake whitening. After trying, wait for a period of time to check the durability of the product. For example, whether the lipstick will fade quickly, and whether the setting powder can keep the makeup intact for a long time.

The trends in the beauty industry change rapidly, new products emerge in an endless stream, and various popular products constantly attract our attention. But we can't follow blindly to buy. Some products may be hyped up extravagantly, but they may not be suitable for ourselves. For example, some popular eyeshadow palettes among Internet celebrities, the colors seem gorgeous, but if the daily usage scenarios are limited, they may be left unused after being bought back. Before buying, we should think about whether we really need it, and decide according to our consumption ability and actual needs to avoid impulse consumption and unnecessary waste.

Buying cosmetics is a journey of exploring beauty. I hope everyone can select cosmetics that suit themselves through steps such as clarifying needs, doing homework, trying at the counter, and rational consumption, and show the most beautiful selves. Also, everyone is welcomed to share their experiences and insights on buying cosmetics in the comment area.
