It’s not just novelty that counts in cosmetics. On Tiktok, a professional makeup artist reveals 5 completely ordinary products (that you may have at home) that have the power to enhance you, casually.
To refine your appearance, you don’t need to always be on the lookout for the latest cosmetic releases. On TikTok, a professional makeup artist (aka @frenchtouchofmakeup) makes a very practical post: according to her, 5 products in your bathroom, far from being glamorous, can do you a great service and make you sexy daily. Ideas to grab!
Brilliant
This is a rather vintage name for a product “that smells like grandma” admits the TikToker. However, this hair spray would work miracles on flat hair for example. “Applied with a brush, it does not grease the hair but gives an impressive ‘hair glow’“, she concedes, with demonstration to back it up. The smell wouldn’t be unpleasant in the end!
Jolene bleach
Another unglamorous but very useful product: Jolene bleach can bleach facial hair for an instant clear skin effect. “People often think that I am doing dermaplaning But no. I bleach my duvet every week or two weeks, for super even skin and to prevent this duvet from forming a shadow on the side of my cheeks. Seeing the makeup artist’s perfect complexion, we want to take her word for it.
An anti-friction stick
Not sexy for a penny, but very useful for keeping a light gait in the middle of summer, the anti-friction stick is particularly applicable where the thighs can rub in hot weather. “He can clearly save your life.” assures the makeup artist. And also allow you to dress as you wish, in a skirt or shorts as you wish.
La Biafine
Another product that can be found in the practical bathroom drawer. Biafine initially purchased in pharmacies to combat sunburn for the whole family would find another use with the expert: “I use it when I have raw skin, in a thick layer and let it penetrate, before going to bed. And this gesture saves my skin every time.”
Teeth whitening patches
Finally, frenchtouchofmakeup admits to using whitening patches from the Crest white brand to find a dazzling smile, with a personal tip: she cuts the strips in two, which she considers sufficient, to have twice as much. A patch to use when you have no visitors (because of plasticized teeth) but which she says would be very effective.
