If you are one of those women who have a constant battle with eyeliner that smudges or mascara brushes that make your eyelids dirty, then this article is really intended for you.
In fact, anyone who has ever tried, once or many times, to apply eyeliner or mascara on herself knows the phenomenon of ‘missing the spot’. The stubborn line that veers up or down in exactly the wrong place and threatens to obliterate the entire task or, alternatively, the mascara that gets onto the eyelid or the area just under the eye. Even professional make-up artistes experience these problems when a line suddenly goes awry.
In the past, such ‘accidents’ meant removing all of the make-up and starting over again from the beginning. That takes time, nerves, and quite a lot of patience to repeat the entire process over again, hoping that the next time it will bring perfect results. The good news is that that epoch has passed: specific corrective products have brought with them a new era of precise work, and the ability of repairing specific spots, both for the professional make-up artiste and for the woman who wants to go out, but might need to repair her make-up during the day. There is no need to go around with wet-wipes in her bag, in the hope that she wont have to use them during the day to remove make-up. No need for the complication of awkwardly removing make-up (especially with eye make-up removal wipes), intended for small repair jobs when you have used make-up and then gone out for the evening. These products provide a quick, elegant, professional, friendly and very localized solution. Something went wrong with your make-up? A line has gone astray? Has an area streaked? No problem, a light touch with make-up corrective repairer, and you’re set to go.
Hereunder two types of products for spot-on repair of make-up:
• Make-up correction pen:
This is a product which resembles a felt – tip pen with a sponge head which is dipped in eye make-up removal product. With just a touch on the skin, the make-up is erased on that spot only, and all you need to do it absorb the remainder of the removal product that has been left on the skin. Then you redo your make-up on that spot only. It is recommended to wipe the tip of the pen itself (where it came into contact with the skin) after each use. That will ensure that no remnants of make-up will remain on the pen tip, and ‘dirty’ the skin next time it comes in contact with the product.
• Disposable reparative sticks:
These are cotton sticks (similar to Q-tip) which are pre-dipped in a measured quantity of make-up remover and help to easily clean, repair and / or erase smeared make-up. One spot-on use will achieve the desired effect, and after using the stick you will simply throw it into the nearest waste-bin. This is an ideal product for traveling and to keep in your purse, when there’s no time or possibility of carrying around other make-up remedies.
