* Foundation, used to smooth out the face and cover spots or uneven skin coloration. Usually a liquid, cream, or powder. Foundation primer is often applied before.
* Powder, used to set the foundation, giving a matte finish, and also to conceal small flaws or blemishes.
* Rouge, blush or blusher, cheek coloring used to bring out the color in the cheeks and make the cheekbones appear more defined. This comes in powder, cream, and liquid

* Bronzer, used to give skin a bit of color by adding a golden or bronze glow.
* Mascara is used to darken, lengthen, and thicken the eyelashes. It is available in natural colors such as brown and black, but also comes in bolder colors such as blue,
pink, or purple. There are many different formulas, including waterproof for those prone to allergies or sudden tears. Often used after a eyelash curler and mascara primer.
* Eye liner, eye shadow, eye shimmer, and glitter eye pencils as well as different color pencils used to color and emphasize the eyelids (larger eyes give a more youthful
appearance).

Also included in the general category of cosmetics are skin care products. These include creams and lotions to moisturize the face and body, sunscreens to protect the skin
from damaging UV radiation, and treatment products to repair or hide skin imperfections (acne, wrinkles, dark circles under eyes, etc.). Cosmetics can also be described by
the form of the product, as well as the area for application. Cosmetics can be liquid or cream emulsions; powders, both pressed and loose; dispersions; and anhydrous creams
or sticks.
Lip stain is a cosmetic product that contains either water or a gel base. To help the product stay on the lips, many stains may contain alcohol. These lip coloring products
are available in a variety of formulas, colors, and application types. The idea behind lip stains is to temporarily saturate the lips with color with a dye, rather than
applying a colored wax to the lips to color them. A lip stain is usually designed to be waterproof so that the color will be long lasting, and once the stain dries,
it should not smear, stain, wear unevenly, or transfer to the teeth. A lip stain may come in a bottle with an applicator which is used to brush the stain onto the lips,
and it can also come in a small jar, with users applying the stain with a finger or a cosmetic brush.
“Transparent Finishing Powder” – The transparent Finishing Powder sets make-up so that you’ll have flawless finish to your skin. It is used to eliminate shine and makes
your skin glow while reducing the look of fine lines and the size of pores.

in addition to over-the-counter cosmetic products, recent years have seen an increasing market for prescription or surgical cosmetic procedures. These range from
temporary enhancements, such as cosmetic colored contact lenses, to major cosmetic surgery. To temporary fashionable enhancement belongs application of false eyelashes
or eyelash extensions, in order to enhance the natural eyelashes and make eye appearance more attractive.
Many techniques, such as microdermabrasion and physical or chemical peels, remove the oldest, top layers of skin cells. The younger layers of skin left behind appear
more plump, youthful, and soft. Permanent application of pigments (tattooing) is also used cosmetically.
