Inspired by Justin Bieber
Jason Au, regional trainer for Clarins Asia, says that our concept of beauty from the outset has always been heavily influenced by world standards characterized by those with Hellenic features: Heart-shaped faces with high cheekbones, big eyes and small chins. Not to mention, photographers, fashion experts and other industry professionals have always gravitated towards these Barbie dolls whenever they go on casting for models and muses, promoting more insecurity to the already dejected girls.
“This is because those with more structured faces look better on pictures in every angle because of their facial contours. Also in pictures we tend to look bigger than our normal size as such the need for a lot slimmer models,” said Au.
Au, who has been in the beauty business for more than 10 years and currently Clarins Asia’s top makeup artist, added however that while it will be a long time before we can completely embrace an all-new, radical view of beauty, that “facial” problem (if we can call it a problem at all) is something that is reparable.
The metrosexual beauty maven waxed scientific explaining that like our Caucasian counterparts, Asian women have five fatty pockets in the face only ours are more pronounced and aggravated further by those so-called “toxins” (read: excess water and fats) thus, the “heaviness” of the face.
“Fashion and beauty aside, excess accumulation of fats and water puffs up the face, making it look bigger. Sometimes a round chin is caused by excess water retention,” explained Au.
Au said having a rounder face caused by these fatty deposits is not necessarily a bad thing because it lets Asian women to enjoy firmer and younger-looking skin in the long run. Our skin in fact will age less slowly than our Western girlfriends. In sum, it all boils down to managing these fatty pockets without having to go under the knife.
How? As simple as “detoxing” achieved thru regular exercise, drinking lots of water, eating the right food (avoid too much salty food), and applying the right skin products especially when we are not drinking enough water or exercising as much can do wonders to the ballooning problem we face.
One of the products Au recommended is the newly developed Clarins Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-drain serum, exclusively designed for Asian women and currently the number 1 selling product at Clarins. The Shaping Facial lift works by clearing away excess fat, water and other skin impurities stored in the face.
“We like to call it the ‘inner deeper skin sewage cleaner’ or sewage cleaner,” supplied Au. “The Clarins Shaping Facial Lift is designed to be a ‘draining’ product so that you’ll have a slimmer, structured, more refined face by removing away the excess fat and water [and consequently] enhancing [the effectiveness] of skin products three times. Clarins promises a 14.7 percent reduction [of fatty deposits] in four weeks with regular use.”
Clarins Shaping Facial Lift was initially launched in 1998, introducing Asian women to a safer and more natural way to getting that coveted V-shaped face. Needless to say, it was an instant hit, prompting the beauty institute to dedicate more research into the cleansing product to further improve or enhance its active ingredients. This year, Clarins Shaping Facial Lift has been reformulated to make it more effective thanks to the addition of three more natural power drainers: blue button flower for eliminating fats; horse chestnut for draining puffiness; and baccharin for defining facial contours.
The new and improved cleansing product should be used right after cleansing the face and before using other skin-care products. To have better results, Au suggested doing the “Clarins Manual Auto-Lifting” method after applying the product. One is only required the use of their palms with elbows resting on the thighs while sitting down. The steps are as follows:
Step 1. Front: Place your forehead in your palms, gently massaging it to smooth the appearance of lines
Step 2. Eyes: Place the heel of your palms completely over the eyes to smooth puffiness and minimize dark circles
Step 3. Cheeks: Move your hands to the cheeks on either side of your nose. This helps release excess fluid and reduce puffiness
Step 4. Chin and Jawline: Rest the chin on your palms with wrists touching
Step 5. Base of neck and ears: Apply pressure with the full weight of the head to help enhance drainage and refine facial contours
For each step, count 10 seconds before moving on to the next one.

I worked already in the cosmetics industry since 1987 work for many companies, cosmetic on the hundreds of products. My special color cosmetics and as such I've had the opportunity to not only become the eye experts in creating new colors, but I have also been recognized, how and why the colors look differently on different people. Anyone who has the skin tone darker than dark Caucasian knows how difficult it is fundamental that you cannot find the appearance of "ashy". Even people who sometimes wear the standard shades of light, medium and dark deals with the dreaded "Orange mask". We have already the overall set-up as consumers to accept what is reported to us that we never about why things are the way and that we must not accept what we don't want.
In the years I have already listened to many different sites for describing why makes that the composition of certain persons look ashy oompa loompa and other look, but there really ever right. It is true that several companies develop and manufacture their own products and many companies are based on the producers of the agreement for the development and production of their products, that, in the case of almost all of the Foundation are developed using the following colors, iron oxide (s), red, yellow, black and titanium dioxide. I'm sure that some companies will read this and say, no, we use umber or Brown, when in fact, the number and Brown are made from iron oxide red, yellow, and black.Iron oxides are very earthly colors is more toned down, potato changes than muddy actually red and yellow. Brown nature of iron oxides, borrows its essential beige that most shades of leather look like and using titanium dioxide (white), to control the opacity or color reflections, we can generally be imitated the brightness and darkness in skin color.
This problem occurs because although the used colors look like sorting, the color of the skin, are not. Genuine leather, the sounds are a combination of opacity/reflectance (white) and red, yellow and blue: black, if strictly used to control the signal.Because almost all of the basics on the market with iron oxides and not blue, to get a darker color white is limited and improves black and where the ashy-ness comes from; not with white, but from black because the color black, color is not forming really colour of skin, the skin appear ashy when used. Similarly with lighter colors, because blue is not used in most of the Foundation, if you are not lucky enough to fit in exactly the color you want, you can usually get a yellow and orange cast to your Foundation.
The reasons for the company through the use of iron oxides and white is the color blue is difficult because of the work of the Foundation. The use of this pigment more costs and requires the skills of producers and formulators. Use purple or Green Foundation also requires skills in formulating and manufacturing and disks to costs, companies generally use pigments are used by and hope that consumers will accept only product that really does not work for them.
Another application of the companies trick is very same composition formula and argue that the colors will match to 90 or 95% of their users. This method shows every few years and people will be breeding sheep and goats to try a new product, only to discover that, unfortunately, color adjustments, their skin color, "sort", because the composition is so transparent, most of their skin color is visible as the differing shades of color are trying to Align in the first row of the Foundation. Cycle of trying to find the right product can be maddening. But solutions begin to become available.
When I worked on the reformulation of the simple minerals in the late 90 's I started some of And lessons about the colour of the rind from the companies I worked for example, Revlon, Max Factor and cover Girl; in the new shades, and the success of this brand in the past decade has shown that my ideas contribute to making a difference in the quality of consumer choice.Recently I was granted complete freedom to create the formula by cosmetics sectors Jove which totally turned My ideas based on the principles of the red, yellow, blue, color adjustments, color of the skin and the result was by Jove in TRU2U Foundation and particularly their sets of custom Foundation Ultra Matrix 3000.As a consumer, if you want to create your own composition, a company, as it ultimately will provide what Jove by so many companies of mass market could.
When you search the Foundation never rushed action, in its decision.Try the tint of your page using the tester in the store and if you do not find where the sample, to require the brand side, usually the samples are available from the manufacturers minimum cost (usually dispatch and handling). Reviewing color try to do in the light of the natural. fluorescent lighting accounts for store tend to cast the shades of blue and makes the composition look better with the skin may really works;So often, the color looks great in the warehouse and looks off when you wear it later.
When you find a color that works for you and this product is discontinued trying to save part of the composition were withdrawn and testing companies which custom blending with the name of the specified shade or better yet part of the network Foundation, each pharmacy capable of color will be able to perfectly match with the shade, searching the Internet custom formulation of mixed, cosmetics custom blending or custom mixed will bring the results of the Foundation for a number of companies. Typical custom blending usually costs between $ 45.00 for up to $ 75.00 per Troy ounce composition and cosmetics sectors start by Jove Foundation sets at $ 29.95 for a sufficient quantity of materials to produce up to 2 ounces with the composition of the finished goods.
