Eye Makeup  ::  Moisturizer  ::  Lipstick  ::  Mineral Makeup

The word cosmetics comes from the Greek word 'kosmos' which basically means arrangement or order where the concept of beauty is bound up with that order and symmetry. And that's exactly what we want to achieve with our make up - we want to bring order, symmetry and beauty to our appearance.

A cosmetic product for every need (and want)

The range of cosmetic products and brands is enormous. The face is obviously the main area of attention with foundation, eye makeup and lipstick followed by the hands and nails with a wide variety of nail colors.

Skin - as the name suggests, foundation is used as a base on which to apply the makeup and should match our natural skin color as closely as possible. Foundation is available as a cream, liquid, powder (loose or pressed) and in stick form. And then there are concealers, moisturizers, smoothing powder, blush and color adjusters.

Eyes - Eye make-up should highlight the beauty of our eyes. Eye cream protects the delicate skin tissue around the eyes and helps prevent wrinkles. Eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara can all be used to enhance the beauty of our eyes and if we really want them to stand out we can curl the lashes or even add false ones.

Lips - Lipstick has been around for thousands of years and is probably still the number one makeup item for most women. However, also available are lip liners, lip gloss, lipstick sealant, waterproof lip liner and even lipstick that appears to 'plump' up the lips.
