Urban Decay's The Velvetizer Instantly Transforms Base Makeup Finishes Into a Velvety Satin - Makeup and Beauty Blog
At the risk of totally dating myself, one of the old-schoolhouse makeup tricks we used back in the day was to dust a lilliputian loose pulverisation on my lips afterwards applying lipstick. I'd dust it right on superlative with a finger (or, if I was feeling actress fancy, a brush!) to transform any lipstick finish into a matte.
It's a similar thought to how the new Urban Decay The Velvetizer works.
Velvetizer is a loose, translucent powder ($34 for a good-sized 0.28-oz. jar, a Sephora-only product). You mix a piddling with your favorite tinted moisturizer or foundation, and it instantly transforms the finish into a velvety satin without futzing with the colour.
The flim-flam is getting the ratio right of powder to liquid, and information technology can have some do. I've found that if I add likewise much powder, the mixture will pill up, virtually like information technology'due south peeling.
This isn't a big surprise, considering the fact that the 2d ingredient is dimethicone, and products with a lot of dimethicone in them exercise tend to pill up when I use too much on my skin.
It'southward not a perfect science. I just kinda eyeball it, but Urban Decay suggests using a dime-sized amount per full pump of foundation or tinted moisturizer, but I rarely employ a full pump of my base makeup anymore. So I employ more like a one-half a dime-sized amount.
I milkshake it into my palm, add together a bit of Naked Pare One and Done, mix them together with a finger, then apply that with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush.
If y'all do run into any pilling, just pat it downwards with your fingers until it blends into your skin (and apply a fiddling less side by side time).
Because the powder thickens liquids y'all mix information technology with, y'all get fuller coverage, too. When I use Velvetizer with One and Done (which is about medium coverage), the final event is closer to full-coverage foundation.
I recall it's cool, albeit a flake contemporary. It gets the job done, but I mean, if you lot want a total-coverage matte foundation, just use a full-coverage foundation, ya know?
It'southward a Sephora-only product, so y'all'll take to expedition to Sephora if you lot desire to play.
And easy TJ'due south lunch
The sampling section at the Trader Joe's in my 'hood is THE BEST. Mind you, it's no Costco, where you tin get a full-on repast just walking around for 15 minutes, but I learn all kinds of neat food hacks for TJ's fare.
Like this one here, which is my new top easy luncheon: TJ's Carrot Spirals with a Veggie Marsala Burger Patty. Combine equal parts Mango Ginger Chutney with manifestly yogurt, and add it on the side as a sauce.
And then GOOD!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
