  • JustKosme: Nak Pakai Foundation Dulu Ke Concealer? 9 Langkah-langkah Makeup untuk Beginners!

    Pernah tak korang beli barang makeup set lengkap semua lepas tu tak sure nak start pakai yang mana satu? Ha, jangan risau tau sebab semua orang pernah lalui situasi macam ni so takpe, take your time to learn all about it through this checklist!

    Langkah 1: Moisturiser


    Base makeup sangat penting and it’s 
    starts with moisturiser! Bila lepas kita mandi, natural oil kita jadi kurang sebab tu lah kena prep dengan moisturiser dulu. Kiranya ni untuk elakkan kulit daripada nampak patchy, kering dan flaky lepas letak foundation semua.

    Langkah 2: Primer


    Lepas dah biar moisturiser serap dalam kulit dan pakai 
    sunscreen untuk lindung kulit daripada cahaya UVA dan UVB, sekarang kita move on to makeup part pula. Primer ni dia act as a barrier antara kulit dengan makeup and dia seal in your skincare products beforehead.
    Sebenarnya primer ni ada macam-macam jenis, ada yang untuk tutup pori-pori, hydrating, illuminating dan color correcting. So, korang kena pilih based on your own preferences!

    Langkah 3: Foundation


    Kalau ikutkan 
    trend makeup tahun ni, orang akan guna lightweight foundation sebab nak showcase natural look. Tapi it depends on diri masing-masing juga, tak kisahlah sheer, medium ataupun full coverage, foundation memang responsible  untuk tutup cela yang ada dekat muka kita.
    Kalau korang nak tahu cara nak cari foundation, bolehlah refer dengan Nadia dekat Beauty Bawang with JustKosme ni. Salah satu tip yang kiteorg boleh bagi is cari foundation yang match dengan natural skin tone kita.

    Langkah 4: Concealer


    Kalau korang selalu dengar lagu Frozen
     Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know” dah tahu dah nak hide apa dengan concealer ni, blemishes and dark spots! So, tips dia untuk pilih concealer is choose warna terang sikit daripada kulit sendiri supaya, boleh tutup mata panda dan segala spots yang nak disembunyikan.



    Langkah 5: Highlighter and Bronzer


    Kalau korang nak skip dua benda ni pun tak pe tapi you know what, a little bit of highlighter and bronzer doesn’t harm you! Kalau korang pakai highlighter dia akan bagi that natural glow if letak dekat area yang betul macam atas cheekbones, bridge of the nose dan dagu.
    Bronzer pula dia lebih kepada nak sculpt kita punya muka, dan enhance kan tan skin tanpa berjemur dengan matahari. Sebelum korang nak beli bronzer, pastikan korang tahu tona kulit korang cool, warm atau neutral dan tak beli dua warna gelap daripada tona kulit yang semulajadi!


    Langkah 6: Blush

    Pernah tau dulu jealous sebab orang lain kalau malu dia blushing, kalau kita satu pun warna apa pun tak nampak, frust! Tapi lepas dah tahu macam mana nak guna blusher ni terus tak tinggal rutin ni!
    Selain buat kita nampak segar, blush ni juga boleh brighten seluruh wajah kita. Plus, blush ni senang sangat nak guna even kalau nak rushing pun, just ambil fluffy brush dan spread it naturally.

    Langkah 7: Eyebrow Pencil

    Ada orang cakap kalau kita kemaskan dan fill in eyebrow, kita tak payah susah-susah buat full face makeup. Eyh boleh pula macam tu? Yeap! Dia sama juga macam bilik kita. Kalau katil kita kemas, secara kesuluruhannya bilik pun nampak kemas.
    Kalau baru je nak start belajar fill the brow, take your time sebab kita kadang-kadang akan overfill dan mungkin tak sama dengan kening sebelah. For beginners, kiteorang recommend untuk guna eyebrow pencil sebab boleh control pergerakan dengan lebih mudah.

    Langkah 8: Shadow, Liner & Mascara


    Bila kita dapat kanvas kosong mesti kita nak fill in dengan kreativiti kita, sebab tu eyeshadow main peranan penting untuk bagi eyelids nampak attractive. Lepas dah blend the eyeshadow, apply the eyeliner. Ikut korang tau nak buat dramatic cat eye atau just simple line ikut aliran mata kita.
    Kalau ikut turutan, mascara ni kena apply last sekali untuk dapat that volumnize look. Await camtu? Kalau rasa macam terlampau heavy sangat makeup, boleh buat pilihan sama ada nak letak eyeliner sahaja ataupun mascara.


    Langkah 9: Lipstick, Liner & Gloss

    Dah elok-elok full makeup dekat bahagian atas muka sekarang, kita nak complete the look kita beralih dekat bahagian bibir pula. Sebenarnya banyak pilihan korang untuk yang bahagian ni sebab ada liquid lipstick, lip glosses and lipstick.
    So, before nak apply mana-mana produk make sure to scrub dan hydrate your lips. Lepas tu baru apply lip liner dan step ni option je tau, ikut korang macam mana. Tapi orang cakap kalau guna lip liner, bibir korang akan nampak more define and lipstick korang akan tahan lama.
    Tip untuk beginner adalah untuk beli lip liner berwarna neutral sebab korang boleh apply apa-apa warna lipstick atau liquid lipstick lepas tu.


    Kalau korang baru je nak start, boleh lah refer dekat checklist ni dulu! Percayalah lama kelamaan, tutup mata pun dah boleh buat and tak semestinya korang akan ikut sebulat-bulat step ni. Kalau korang dah settle ikut step ni, jangan lupa untuk post look dekat JustKosme.

  • JustKosme: Bahan-bahan Sunscreen Yang Anda Nak Elak (dan Cara-cara Untuk Pilih Sunscreen Yang Bagus)



    Bahan-bahan Sunscreen Yang Anda Nak Elak (dan Cara-cara Untuk Pilih Sunscreen Yang Bagus)
    Pelindung matahari aka sunscreen ni perlu ada dalam setiap beauty kit, tapi kita tahu yang proses nak pilih ni bukan main ambil je daripada rak kedai. Banyak faktor yang perlu dipertimbangkan untuk beli sunscreen yang selamat serta efektif, dan cara yang paling senang nak pilih adalah berdasarkan ingredients dia!
    Kalau dah selalu baca fasal sunscreen, mesti korang tahu yang physical atau mineral sunscreen ni paling selamat untuk digunakan dibandingkan dengan chemical sunscreen. Lagipun dia bagi pelindungan optimal daripada sinaran Ultra Violet A (UVA) dan Ultra Violet B (UVB).

    Sebelum tu, berapa banyak jenis sinar ultraviolet yang akan rosakkan kulit kita?

    Ada TIGA jenis sinar ultra violet iaitu Ultra Violet A (UVA), Ultra Violet B (UVB) dan Ultra Violet C (UVC). 
    • UVA: Sinaran UVA ni dia akan tembus lapisan luar kulit dan meresap jauh ke dalam kulit. Dia takkan biarkan kulit sunburn, tapi dia akan rosakkan elastik fiber dan kolagen. Bila kolagen dah kurang, dapatlah kedutan dekat kulit.
    • UVB: Sinaran ni dia akan cepatkan proses penuaan dan gelapkan kulit. Walaupun lapisan ozon dapat serap sebahagian UVB ni, tapi ada juga yang tembus ke bumi.
    • UVC: Walaupun sinaran ni dia tak dapat lepas lapisan ozon, tapi kalau dia masuk dia adalah UV radiation yang paling damage. Bahan-bahan Sunscreen Yang Anda Nak Elak (dan Cara-cara Untuk Pilih Sunscreen Yang Bagus)

    Tapi, apa yang teruk sangat fasal chemical sunscreen ni? Bukan kita dah selalu guna ke?

    Kalau nak cakap fasal produk yang ada bahan kimia ni memang takkan habis, sebab memang akan ada kesan negatif, antaranya adalah alergi dan kanser. Sebab tu kalau boleh kena elakkan guna  bahan-bahan kosmetik yang toksik seperti Midazolidinyl Urea, Diazolidinyl Urea atau Petrolatum.
    Chemical sunscreen ni dia ada two-sides to the story. Betul dia ada nasty things yang effect kesihatan kita, which is obviously not good tapi dia thinner dan sesuai digunakan setiap hari. Dia sebenarnya lebih banyak cons daripada pros sebab dia tak ada lah efektif sangat untuk elak kulit kita daripada kerosakan UV. Kalau korang nak cuba juga, ada few chemical sunscreen yang free from harmful ingredients!






    So, apa yang tak kena dengan bahan dalam chemical sunscreen ni?


    Cara dua-dua jenis pelindung matahari ni protect kita daripada sinaran UV sangat berbeza. 
    Chemical sunscreen dia akan serap sinaran UV tu dalam kulit, dan dia akan masuk ke dalam layer yang paling dalam dan rosakkan kulit kita.
    Lain pula dengan mineral sunscreen yang ada zinc oxide dan titanium oxide which akan pantulkan balik sinaran UV.
    Sebab tu, banyak dah kesan negatif dekat kesihatan bila kita guna chemical sunscreen. Ramai yang cakap yang chemical sunscreen ni dia act as estrogen, menyebabkan hormon terganggu, altering sperm dan mungkin penyebab endometriosis
    So, macam mana nak avoid guna bahan-bahan yang bahaya untuk kesihatan ni? First, don’t judge a book by its cover! Kalau dekat packaging depan dia cakap “mineral”, tak semestinya dia bebas daripada chemical sunscreens. Sebab tu kita kena tahu ingredients yang selalu diletakkan dalam chemical sunscreen dan kenapa korang perlu dielakkan.

    Senarai bahan chemical sunscreen dan kenapa perlu elakkan

    Bahan-bahan Sunscreen Yang Anda Nak Elak (dan Cara-cara Untuk Pilih Sunscreen Yang Bagus)

    Takkan 6 bahan tu je? Ada tak bahan-bahan lain yang perlu dielakkan dalam sunscreen?

    Petrolatum, petroleum jelly, dan mineral oil  yang ada dalam sunscreen buatkan kita rasa lembap, tapi ingredients ni akan tercemar dengan karsinogen. Kiranya dia akan halang pores daripada lepaskan toksin dan serap semua kelembapan dari udara. Selain itu, produk yang ada petroleum ni juga selalunya sebabkan kulit irritate dan timbulkan jerawat.
    Untuk buat kulit rasa licin dan pada masa yang sama provide water resistant yang berkualiti, silicones macam dimethicon akan diletakkan dalam sunscreens. Sama juga macam petroleum, silikon ni dia akan sumbatkan pores dan lead to skin irritation.
    Kalau conventional sunscreen pula dia ada synthetic preservatives macam parabens dan methylisothiazolinone (MIT). Dua benda ni dia akan menyebabkan neurotoxicity, alahan, gangguan fetus dan hormon.
    Retinyl palmitate (a form of vitamin A) ni bukan bahan yang toksik, tapi dia fotosensitif. Which mean chances korang nak develop kanser kulit, kerosakan kulit dan penuaan adalah tinggi bila terdedah dekat matahari. Tapi kalau dedahkan vitamin A melalui minyak tumbuhan, kurang sikit isu dia berbanding guna retinyl palmitate yang pekat. So, pastikan untuk tengok “retinyl palmitate” atau “Vitamin A palmitate” dekat list ingredients.

    o, the truth tentang chemical sunscreen pun dah terbongkar and mesti kita fikir kenapa orang still guna chemical sunscreen? Mungkin sebab dia tak suka rasa berminyak dan white glow yang mineral sunscreens offer. Tapi yang tu dulu, sekarang ada formula baru dan korang takkan rasa macam tu lagi dah!
    The only way kita nak tahu selamat ke tak produk tu kenalah tengok list bahan-bahan dekat belakang packaging tu. Kalau dalam chemical sunscreens tu ada bahan-bahan dekat atas, letak balik atas rak tu dan beli based on sunscreen guide. Tapi kalau ada suggestions any sunscreen yang korang guna, jangan lupa untuk share dekat JustKosme!
