Posted by: smilie on 01/25/2005 - 04:08 PM
The world of cosmetics is indeed complex. There are so many skin types and colors, with so many differing skin conditions, that the cosmetics industry has had to work hard to keep up. But work hard they have – there’s a product for every kind of condition you could possibly have. But are there answers to every possible question you could have? Well, perhaps we can answer a few of them with these top 10 cosmetics questions. Listen up.

1. Is there a cosmetic product that can make my eyelashes longer and thicker?

What you were born with, you were born with. Whether you like them or not, your eyelashes are a product of your DNA, your genes, and you can’t change that.

Having said that, you’re not completely without help. There are some mascara products that are recommended for making your lashes look longer and thicker, from companies like L’Oreal or Clinique. It’s suggested that you use a lash primer, then mascara. Your eye lashes may not be as long and thick as you want, but they’ll definitely be enhanced if you use the right products.

2. I’m concerned about my wrinkles – is there a solution other than injections?

Injections are becoming very popular these days. There are many dermal fillers on the market, all claiming to be the best. Those with natural ingredients, similar to those produced by your own body, are said to be the best because there’s nothing better than the natural substances present in your own body.

However, just because these substances are natural, it doesn’t mean that they’ll do the desired job. And any cosmetic you use won’t last forever. But, if you want to minimize your wrinkles, then anti-aging cosmetics will do the trick. Of course, you’ll have to keep applying them on a regular basis, but you’ll have to keep getting injections, too. Which one would be easier?





3. My lipstick color has been discontinued – what can I do?

Discontinued lipstick colors is a major complaint for consumers. Cosmetic companies are constantly changing their lines, and women who have favorite colors that they’ve gotten used to, stand in lines, disappointed, trying to find something that slightly resembles that one shade that was just right for them.

Well, not to worry, ladies. There are companies out there, like Three Custom Color, who’ll customize a lipstick color for you. Just send them a small sample of your favorite lipstick, and they’ll duplicate it for you. Mind you, it won’t be cheap, but if that color is that important to you, then that’s the way to go. Alternatively, with the number of colors and shades of lipstick on the market today, you should be able to find something that’s fairly close to what you like.
