1. Clinique

Suitable for oily girls around 20 years old, but due to the income of the customer base, the price is relatively high. In fact, Clinique is still very durable, but if you think about its publicity that "N bottles are sold every second," you will know that its quality abroad is close to that of supermarket products. It works quickly on acne-prone skin, but it can also be very irritating. Applying the hydromagnetic field can indeed give you a good feeling quickly, but it has no effect on improving the skin. After applying it, the skin will be tender and tender as if it were reborn. In fact, the salicylic acid in it is responsible for corroding the cuticles of the epidermis. What if you have allergies?

2. Biotherm

It is still a young brand in China, and its moisturizing effect is pretty good, but its claims of detoxification are nonsense. If you get an eye cream and detoxify... you can think of it with your toes. You know, why does it detoxify? What is its detoxification mechanism? What symptoms should I have after detoxification? Is it possible to detoxify just by writing that it contains “natural detoxifying ingredients”? This is the point where I compare it to BS. Biotherm is not as good as Lanc?me abroad, but the price in China is about the same as Lanc?me. Why bother? Personally, I feel that the star product, the active spring or lotion (the one that claims to contain a lot of active spring water essence), has only a mediocre moisturizing effect. Using it alone can sometimes dry out even oily skin. If you are really interested in the ingredients of hot springs, there are many cosmeceuticals to choose from. They are really genuine and the price is much cheaper. I have not used its olive essence series because I am very impressed by the antioxidant effect of olive polyphenols recently, so I would like to mention it here, not sure whether it is good or bad.

3. Lanc?me

I heard that its mascara was good from the beginning, so I bought one. The effect is indeed good, but compared with EL, Guerlain, YSL, and HR, it is the easiest to faint. Water Fate is their highly praised series, and it was also something I longed for back then. Although I don't like spices in skin care products, the smell of Moisture is so good that even the roses on the bottle cap seem to be dancing, so I finally bought a set. The cream is very moisturizing when applied to the face, especially the night cream, which is expensive and valuable. Your skin will feel soft when you wake up the next day. Only on particularly dry nights in winter do you need to use moisturizing gel. Its triple whitening product seems to be good too, with some immediate results. However, now I have a psychological barrier to such quick-acting products, and it is almost certain that it contains allergenic ingredients.

4. Estee Lauder

After using some of its products, I can slowly understand why someone at that time gave it a "sophisticated and subtle" evaluation. "Full of vitality and full of practical spirit", this is the spirit rooted in The American Dream. This brand is suitable for women over the age of 25 and around 30, to care for the skin that has begun to decline. It has many product lines, and its production purpose is very clear. There is almost no situation where defective products are randomly produced in order to snipe a certain brand, nor is there any situation where the number is made up in order to complete a series. Each one has its own effect when used alone, and the effect will rarely be reflected quickly. But in the long run, it is very beneficial to skin care. Compared with other specialty brands, the ingredients of its products are relatively safe, and it is rare to hear of disfigurement caused by using its products. Estee Lauder's new whitening essence feels a little thicker than Herbal Recovery Gel, but after using it for a few days, my skin is very smooth and the effect is good. nice one! Estee Lauder's products do have a good reputation, but one thing to note is its fruit acid essence. People who are prone to allergies should be careful.

5. Borghese

This brand is also suitable for those with oily skin. Compared to Clinique, which claims to be additive-free and fragrance-free, it is more practical and focuses on the mineral route. Green clay, white clay, powder clay - almost pure clay mask. I used mineral cleansing balm. After washing my face, my skin felt like alabaster (I only felt clean at the time, and I didn’t know that this was bad). The pores Also clean. Do not use it more than twice a day, otherwise it will thin the oily skin.

But then I stopped using it, because I felt that it was not a good thing if my skin looked like plaster...

6. SKII

I dare to say SKII. The reason I say "bold" is because I have never used any of their products, and I get scared when I think of the fierceness of their products in Sogo (I wonder what happened to the last incident of beating up a customer). I am even more frightened when I think of its dependence on things. The origin of the name SKII is quite interesting (I just watched it some time ago, to entertain the audience). It was originally planned to be called "The Skin Key", something like "Skin Key" (wouldn't it be easy to confuse it with CPB?), but after an updated version was released, it could only be called SKII. The specialty of this store is that it contains "enzyme" ingredients. "Enzyme" is the term in Taiwan, Japan, and "enzyme" in Mainland China. Everyone who has studied biology can understand this. For example, the digestive enzymes in saliva can make rice sweeter. This thing is a strong biological catalyst. Products containing this thing will naturally take effect quickly. There are many kinds of enzymes. Because they are strong catalysts, they are unstable and easily deteriorate. What kind of enzyme is it? Aflatoxin or enzyme? If it is natural, what method does SKII use to extract it? If it is not natural, how is SKII synthesized? How will the finished product be stored? What is the concentration of this enzyme in a bottle of fairy water? No one knows this because SKII insists on not disclosing it to the industry. Using SKII, your originally poor skin quality will definitely be greatly improved, but don’t think about leaving it. In the process of relying on external catalysis, the skin's own repair function is no longer as good as before. Speaking of which, using SKII is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but when you think about ancient beauties using lead and mercury for makeup, it feels like nothing. Eastern women have been dependent on men since ancient times, and their desire to please others is also particularly strong. Therefore, the cosmetics market in the East is much more popular than in the West.

7. Elizabeth Arden

Although this is a big brand, it can never put on airs, which makes some people think it is a second-tier brand and cry for it. Who makes it possible for the family to do activities all the time, and the activities are so affordable? Parkson's Arden counter is directly under the Arden Beijing branch (note, it is a branch, not a general agent). It has the most complete range of products in Beijing, and Arden's threshold for free gifts is very low, and all the gifts are word-of-mouth products. , I rarely use any small perfume, lipstick or eyeshadow to cover up my troubles, and I even ran a campaign where I bought genuine herbal capsules for free when I bought the time-space facial gel and eye gel. In Hong Kong, Sasa is the sole distributor. If its products are not fresh, you will not be able to find fresh ones in Hong Kong (excluding the buy one, get one free gift package). Compared to Estee Lauder who is capable and strong (OL with an M in her job title) and Helena who is soft and charming (a beautiful young housewife), Arden has a hard-working but embarrassing impression (a daughter-in-law who is clumsy and tongue-tied and does not like her mother-in-law). However, several of its top ten star products have been forced to cease production (for example, certain raw materials have been banned from import), and their products are scattered here and there, rarely appearing in series. You ask it: How many products does your family have? I guess not many people can answer it (of course that’s why some things are out of stock for thousands of years). Its skin care products are also very safe and focus on long-term care. However, since there is no series, customers only buy and use them sporadically. After using up one, say "OK" or "Mediocre", then throw it away and replace it with another. This is undoubtedly a strategic issue for the entire Arden. Its capsule essences are very famous. Except for the green herbal capsules that have been discontinued, none of them are completely natural ingredients.

8. HR Helena

Many girls may not have noticed this brand, but it is a very good brand. There were three contemporaries: Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder, and Helena. The products under their names are their monuments. Helena Rubinstein, if you look up its history, you will know the reputation of its mascara. I used YSL and Guerlain before, and they were really good. My originally very long eyelashes lost the reputation of "false eyelashes" after they showed their talents, which is sad.

I fell in love with HR at first sight because its effect is natural and the roots are clearly defined (Waterproof Curl Mascara and Nourishing Eyelash Primer). The eyelashes look very long, but you can’t tell that they have been applied with any cream. A friend bought almost all of its eye creams and used them morning and night. The expression lines under her eyes actually improved. Its most famous skin care products are the VC series and collagen series, both of which are the first of its kind to be used in skin care. It is worth mentioning that its collagen series does not contain collagen, but uses active ingredients to strengthen collagen fibers under the skin. As people age, the collagen under the skin will slowly lose, and then wrinkles will appear, and this is an almost irreversible process. Therefore, in cosmetic surgery, wrinkles can be removed by subcutaneous injection of animal collagen. Collagen molecules are very large and cannot be absorbed through the skin. Some product descriptions say: Contains collagen, contains collagen... Now you know whether these things are useful!

9. Clarins

This brand is becoming more and more popular among women. It is a plant-based brand that prefers salon body care (just look at its exquisite massage techniques). ), it is a brand respected by the European and American middle class. Clarins specializes in body care, but it can develop word-of-mouth products for facial care. It’s strange to say that Jiaojia has not formed a clear product series, so why does it sell so much better than Arden? Maybe it’s because of my French ancestry. If I take the beauty salon route, I will soon have a group of regular users. Green water, yellow water lotus oil, orchid oil, multi-valve suction cup makeup remover... These are the products that everyone is talking about - I don’t own any of them. I've used it before, so I'd better let other girls speak more convincingly. By feeling: Its products are very distinctive, whether it is the method of use or the physical appearance of the product. Generally speaking, it is healthier to go the plant route. Clarins has very few allergy reports. Judging from the ingredient analysis of some products, it is very reasonable and there are fewer unknown compounds added. One of its frequently mentioned shortcomings is: the smell! The smell is too fragrant, the smell is too strange... Judging from the slimming products I have used, the slimming essence and drainage oil have a very strong smell. The former is full of the spiciness of mint, and the latter feels like the smell of plant essential oils. I don't care, but I guess there are a lot of people who don't like it. It should be easy to add things to control the taste, so I'm really grateful that Jiaojia doesn't do this. I have been using their slimming kit for almost a month, and the effect is visible. The price is so expensive, it’s so hard to massage every day, and the discontinuation of its massage board is super inhumane!

10. Guerlain

It takes more courage to write these two words. This is a brand that I dare not study carefully. Issima is its skin care brand, and its prices are high. Each product is more than 100 yuan more expensive than the above-mentioned big-name products with the same effect. It would be terrible if I went crazy and bought it one day (if it were La Mer, I would really I don’t want to think about it anymore...). Why is Issima so expensive? Just because it is owned by LVMH? So we must distance ourselves from Dior? Even the counter Ba said: CD is an aristocratic brand, Guerlain is a royal brand... Even our bottle caps are gold-plated! Cry, how much did I spend on bottles? Almost all of their skin care products have good reviews. I haven't heard of any cases of allergies. Young people can use the Happy series. I don't know about the other products. I guess they are only used by older people. What I prefer is the night-staying cream. It doesn’t matter if you sleep less. Apply it and sleep for two hours, and your eyes will be radiant as soon as you open them (no doubt it’s a miracle product for me who often have day and night reversed). Are there any Guerlain products that are not outstanding? No! Issima is the king of skin care products, the eternal legend of Midnight Flight is the perfume, and the oriental flavor of Saint Sala is directly adapted to YSL opium. If you like floral scents, there is no problem. Guerlain has all kinds of flowers and plants that make your hands sore. As for those who like makeup, everyone knows about Colorful Meteor, right? Symphony Meteor will definitely go down in makeup history because of its genius creativity. I once tried a transparent philosophy-shaped primer at its makeup counter. It contained a lot of gold foil in the middle. It was shiny when applied on my hands. It came in a cylindrical bottle and cost more than 700 yuan. I still can’t remember its name.

If you know, please tell me. I am a commoner. I just need to pay homage to the princess in the palace occasionally and drool...

11. KOSE

Gauss’s status in Japan Not as good as Shiseido, but they are similar in some ways. Small Japanese companies are like rats, they gather in groups and have extremely strong reproductive power. They spread out as soon as they grow bigger, and there are many brands under one head. Just like the puffed food that deceives children, the same raw material is added and produced under a different name, using group army tactics to seize the market. One is Avenir, the other is Sekkisei, the other is Glentenna, the new one is Medicos, and there is a high-end Decor that has never been sold to China. The euphemistic name is: for different ages. skin. But for any big brand in Europe and America, this is called a different series, not a registered trademark. I heard that Decor is really good. It produces the most expensive foundation in the world. It is said that it has the miraculous effect of washing off and protecting your skin. It costs more than 2,000 yuan in foreign countries. The Sekkisei series is the one I use the most, and the effect is relatively good. It is suitable for women with oily skin, mixed skin, and non-allergic skin. I can feel that the ingredients are more natural and have less additives, but I can feel it more: the one made in Japan and the one packaged in Hangzhou. Kind of different. For example, lotion: the latter is obviously thinner (the ones made in Japan have the words medicinal, while the counter products will indicate the place of origin). Every time I think about this, I wish I could flatten the four islands.

12. CDamp; Givenchy

Both belong to LVMH, the cursed largest luxury goods group in the world (my terrible hatred of rich people...), they are also designer brands, they are also Brands that extend from women's clothing design to the field of cosmetics also focus on color cosmetics and have a few skin care products with good reputations. In recent years, CD sales have been increasing steadily by selling bags and clothing, while Givenchy designers have been vacant for a long time. , if LVMH hadn't considered the money at the time of acquisition, it would have closed down long ago. Therefore, CD has more money for the research and development of skin care products and more advertising expenses (it is a virtuous circle)... and Givenchy's products... fewer and fewer people are interested (it was fine around 2000). After spending a lot of money to build momentum, Dior Show is selling like hotcakes (the summer whitening trend). Let’s hear the comments of latecomers about the effect. In fact, I am optimistic about its hydrodynamic essence. The sample is good, but I don’t know if it will cause aesthetic fatigue. Dior's silver series can challenge Guerlain's throne. I'm talking about the price tag (4 digits), and its reputation abroad is also rave. Unfortunately, I still feel that if you have the financial strength to buy Dior silver, you probably won’t buy it. What you will buy is a really big brand that never advertises in fashion magazines. Givenchy's makeup box has a very Chinese pattern logo, which actually means "G" coming from "G" going. I heard that the facial mask and green tea eye cream are good, but I haven’t used them before. The price is quite cheap, 10 pieces of facial mask cost 400-500.

13. H2O Shuizhiao

This brand is very young and very suitable for young people. The most famous one is of course the Eight Glasses of Water, Facial Oasis Philosophy... There are too many aliases, I I don’t even know what to call it. It looks like the old version of AVON's blue dew, but the smell is different. The effect is more refreshing when you put it on. There is an ocean smell in the bottle and it feels very comfortable. Other than that, it seems like nothing more can be expected from it. I really can't stop myself from comparing it with the old version of Lanlu, and once I compare it, I feel that its price/performance ratio is much worse. Another product I have used is its spray, which seems to be more than 1Ml per piece. It feels like Soso, it is just a refreshing spray. It still needs to be patted dry. If not, it will still be drier. It seems that it is still a hypotonic liquid. Now that I have a cosmeceutical hot spring spray, I can give up this. The overall brand feels that it lacks its own punch, and many products are suspected of being just a few, and they are expensive in terms of cost performance. Personally, I think that if you prefer this brand, it is better to buy Biotherm (if you are particularly attached to the marine ingredients). Young ladies can try the low-price Korean brand Missha. Its marine essence series is good and very cheap. It is said that it will soon open a counter in Beijing.

14. Chanel

Before you have seen what perfume is, you know Chanel No. 5. When you don’t know its price, you know it is a big brand and it is the banner of timeless fashion.

For girls, COCO is a role model, telling us that women can maintain career success and elegance and beauty at the same time. Chanel brand clothing, perfume, and makeup can better reflect the temperament of its founder. A good woman never lets anyone see through her heart. Although her family has launched a series of skin care products, it has never been the focus of marketing, and it has not put much effort into orientalizing its products (its foundation feels dark no matter how you use it, and it is really not suitable for yellow skin). The spiritual effect of Chanel is even greater than its practical effect. If I choose only one of its products, I will give up all the tempting perfumes and choose a bright red lipstick (even though her lipstick is not as good as other big brands) (easy to use), and then apply it lightly on your lips when you feel your confidence is wavering.

15. OLAY

The mainstay of Procter & Gamble, this is a very popular brand abroad and is loved by many people. Just like Dabao, it is cheap and has visible effects. It is a skin care brand often mentioned in the American "Prevention" magazine. It is translated as "Oulei" in Taiwan. Under Procter & Gamble, SKII takes the high-end route, and OLAY takes the mid-to-low-end route. I just read an article not long ago. According to the ingredient analysis, OLAY can completely replace SKII in some products and is less dependent. OLAY, like SKII, is suitable for mature skin.

16. Avon

My exposure to Avon started in high school. Later, when I grew up, my mind was fiddled with by the colorful big brands. Avon became synonymous with cheap brands and disappeared from the stage of history in an instant. Until in order to purchase Mother's Day gifts, I got a new brand of new life cream. AVON, which costs more than 200, seems really expensive (I feel like this brand really doesn’t deserve to cost so much). However, my mother used it and the effect was good. Later I learned that the Anew series is Avon's flagship product, and it is like this all over the world. I once heard a saying: AVON products priced below 50 yuan are not worth buying, but high-end products are very cost-effective. At this point, AVON is like a shrewd housewife. I will cook as many dishes as you give me. After I found out that I could buy AVON at a discount of less than 60%, I began to worry about the fraud of domestic products. Word-of-mouth products: Xinhuo series (represented in American dermatology textbooks as cosmetics containing fruit acids), Beauty Lotion. The Xinhuo series must only be used by women over the age of 25 with mature skin. I used it for two nights, and my retribution came: a white fat particle appeared on my left cheekbone. In addition, because fruit acid has a skin-removing effect, try not to use it during the day. Even if you use it, you should also use reliable sunscreen.

17. Shiseido

It has so many product lines that I have never figured them out and bought few. Shiseido’s Japanese color is too obvious, which is always criticized by my family. Among the products that are based on its true identity, the UvWhite series is very good. In the past, Shiseido's most high-end Skin Key CPB was the target of my dreams (the French brand was acquired), but now it has faded away. Firstly, I am not old enough, secondly, I have not enough money, thirdly, I am old enough and have enough money, and there are other reasons. The big names are calling me.

18. Yves Saint Laurent YSL

Designer brand (I use this to refer to brands that have entered the cosmetics industry from the fashion industry), to this day, Yves Saint Laurent is still a A brand known for its clothing. It was perfume that made Yves Saint Laurent famous in the cosmetics industry. Today, her perfume is still an indispensable part of the history of perfume. For example, Opium even created a fragrance genre. It is said that the original version has been discontinued, but it has achieved its eternal legend (since I heard that it was discontinued, my half bottle has been placed in the cabinet just for admiration). Yves Saint Laurent's perfume is more famous than makeup, and makeup is more famous than skin care. Yves Saint Laurent's makeup looks are almost all glossy gold metallic, with two standout items: Brilliant Color Pencils and Mushroom Blush. The bright color pen is actually a concealer in a pen. It has a lighter texture and is good at covering dark circles. Mushroom blush was not its flagship product at first, but a limited edition for Christmas one year. I didn’t expect it to be so popular.

It's actually a loose powder blush. There's a round sponge at the top of the box. You can just hold the box and apply it on your face. It's simple and natural to use, but it's out of stock...its mascara roll The curl, especially the density, is very good, but the non-waterproof ones are more likely to smudge, so it’s best to use it with a primer. Yves Saint Laurent also produces basic skin care products, and they often give out samples to others when their purchases are full, but so far I have never heard of any particularly outstanding products. Friends who have used the demo said it feels pretty good, but it does lack competitiveness compared to other big brands. Saint Laurent's clothing is known for its mature style, and so is its makeup, which is full of color but not ostentatious. The gold-heavy rectangular powder is one of the most praised products.

19. Revlon

This is a famous cosmetics brand with a long history. The first time I saw it was in Zhang Ailing’s novel. The purple blush on the beauty’s face was named after this brand. . The last aristocrat of Chinese literati was born in Shanghai, a place that closely grasps the pulse of world fashion. Naturally, he was familiar with what was popular in New York on the other side of the world at that time. "The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze is blowing the threshold and the dew is thick." It's such a good name. I don't know who originally translated it. It has both form and spirit. It started with makeup, and nail polish is its traditional specialty. Lip gloss and nail polish are the same color, which is what the company started to advocate. But in China and the East, it is not so popular because of its rich and coquettish colors. Who makes Orientals appreciate subtle beauty more? Moreover, on the delicate skin of Orientals, her makeup feels a little thicker. . Although many products with oriental characteristics have been launched in recent years to adapt to the market, they are still half-red but not black. In its history of nearly a hundred years, Revlon has made many contributions to the cosmetics industry, such as non-fading mascara and non-fading lipstick. In addition to makeup, its skin care products also have a place (I don’t know if they are available in Chinese counters), such as the classic Eterna 27 anti-wrinkle night cream, which is a pharmaceutical brand in the United States and is a product with excellent reputation. In addition, the reputation of Revlon shampoo in China is generally low, but its dyeing and perming products do occupy a place in foreign markets.

20. Shu Uemura

Like BB, it is a brand founded by a makeup master (it seems to have joined the L'Oreal Group). This person is Japanese and is still alive. There was a year when Shu Uemura and Chanel ranked in the top three in a makeup competition (I really forgot about the other brand, it seems that it didn't enter the Chinese market that year, and it wasn't BB, MAC, or MUF). Xiujia has several products that are very classic, very creative and even created an era. The first one is cleansing oil. It is the first of its kind to use oil to remove oil. However, its oils are all mineral oils. Some people think that they do not contain vegetable oils. nature. In terms of word-of-mouth evaluation, Covermark and DHC's cleansing oils are both the latecomers. The second one is foam isolation cream, also known as foam foundation. It is a small aluminum can, shake it wildly, and squeeze it on your hand like mousse. A group of extremely fine foundation-colored foam will immediately appear and stick to your face. With just one swipe, even the most beginner makeup artist can master it quickly. It is considered the lightest foundation. It also has a natural makeup feel and is good at brightening and evening out the complexion (if one goes, the covering effect is poor). Girls who like light makeup and natural makeup should not miss it. It is absolutely convenient to use and has a sun protection factor, which makes the skin of the face less burdened. Next is its brushes, which are as famous as BB's brushes and as expensive as BB's brushes! Like the BB family, most of them use real animal hair! There is a saying that its brand is better at small brushes, while BB is better at large brushes for loose powder and blush. Its eyeshadows, blushes, and other products have good reviews. However, all professional cosmetics, such as MAC, MUF and other brands, are also good. Which brand you use depends on whose packaging you like and whose seasonal colors you like. . If I have to say it, I can only say that I feel (maybe it is an illusion) that the powder of Shuijia is a little finer. Who makes this the brand of Oriental people? Although I reject Malano Yero, I still like Shu Uemura. A beauty I admire very much. It is only in recent years that it has started to produce skin care products. The whitening series are said to be effective, but they are expensive. In fact, the Japanese products are still the best for whitening.

21. Make Up Forever

Generally referred to as MUF.

The name "Make Up Forever" immediately points out the professionalism of the brand - a makeup brand. It has nothing else but makeup. It also has the Taiwanese transliteration of the name "Floating Life as a Dream". This brand has a relatively short history, and it originated from France rather than the United States, where there are many famous cosmetics brands. The original designer is also an artist, not a professional makeup artist. But it has ranked among the top three cosmetics brands in just twenty years, and it must have unique strengths (the top three brands were rated by a magazine in a certain year). You can feel the professionalism of its brand from its counter. There are no lipstick boxes or eye shadow boxes of several colors. If you need multiple colors, you can buy a box of each. If you insist on putting them together, that’s OK. If there is an empty box, you can put four colors of your choice in it, and the price = 4*unit price of single-color eyeshadow Box of money, do you really need it? The only exception: a flat box containing five colors of stuff. What do you think this is? Make no mistake, this is concealer. Five colors of concealer, green, pink, yellow... Yes, this is concealer. Cream, for example, you can first use green to cover red beans, and then use yellow to make it the same as your own skin color. This will have a good effect, and the covering power is absolutely first-class. There is also a corrector that has the same color as the concealer, or you can call it a foundation cream. There are ice blue ones, lavender ones, light green ones, goose yellow ones... They are very different from other products (many other products are dark-colored). (a light shade of yellow), use it as a base to correct your skin tone, then use the star of our star products - gouache, and it's perfect. By the way, remember to spread the gouache cream evenly before using it to ensure the most natural makeup and absolutely no floating powder (it does feel lighter and more natural than Shu Uemura's foam foundation). It is more waterproof and sweat-proof, and can be used on the body. MUF's lipsticks are moisturizing and long-lasting, and they are very non-allergenic. The new lip glosses are so easy to apply. I can't describe this. (For example, I just swiped it on a friend's lips and it felt like a PS in a magazine. Maybelline ad). The powder is super fine. If you feel that your skin tone is not bright enough after foundation, just add loose powder. The sponge is relatively expensive, 85 a piece, but it is really easy to use (not as easy to use as Yonghe Three Beauties). Moreover, this brand is not much cheaper overseas than in China. Its brushes mostly use real animal hair, which feels better than MAC's. The only intimidating thing is its professionalism. Girls who play with makeup are all greedy and greedy. How can we let them be satisfied with one color after another? By the way, it is owned by LVMH...

23. Cheantecaille Chantecaille

The name is not surprising, and the translation is ordinary. It is definitely a small famous brand from a factory in southern mainland China. But in fact, this is indeed a big brand, and it is a lady-level brand, and its grade is higher than almost all the brands discussed before. The founder of this brand is Frenchman Chantecaille. He has worked diligently in the EL Group for more than 20 years and single-handedly raised Prescriptives for EL. (PS: EL Group likes to develop its own product lines and does not often buy other people’s ready-made brands.) As a result, it turned around and jumped out on its own to create this brand with its own name. Perhaps because the old owner was too powerful, the brand kept a low profile and only had counters in a few major department stores around the world. It seems that it is not available in HK. It used to be available in Taiwan, but it was said to be withdrawn. The prices of its products are not low, for example, a concealer stick costs 620, and a facial cream costs nearly 1,000 (the EL official price is more than 600). The top products of other people's product lines are known as: silver level, platinum level, and it openly claims: diamond level! Diamond-level eye cream, diamond-level lotion, diamond-level face cream... Wow, I took it. Its products are mainly based on plants, accounting for more than 90% of them (I used to think that plant products were not too expensive until I saw La Mer), plus some Botulinum-like ingredients to remove wrinkles for ladies. used. The word-of-mouth product Future Skin liquid foundation is the liquid foundation with the highest water content. Like all liquid foundations with high water content (MUF's gouache cream and PX's water powder), it is very light and breathable when applied, and leaves no trace, but has good coverage. Better than both. As a cosmetic, this product has a similar effect to PX water powder, but it has the effect of a skin care product, and the matching dense powder is very fine.

Rose water, like other rose water, has a series of functions such as moisturizing, whitening, fragrance, anti-allergy, etc. It is considered a relatively low-priced product of the company, so it is approachable. It is said that this is a must-have for its founder Chantecaille, who uses it as an air freshener when flying (I hate the gap between rich and poor...). Diamond-level skin care: There are only a few of its skin care products. The more essential ones cost 2500-3500. There should be no doubt about whether they are easy to use or not. Considering the price, there should be no doubt. As for brushes, I studied this brand carefully, and it started with a comment from a bad friend: After using Chantecaille’s brushes, I feel like I should throw away Shu Uemura’s brushes... The price of a larger brush is about 700. In addition, it is indeed an upgraded version of Prescriptives, and it also has a foundation brush created by Prescriptives.

24. Bobbi Brown

Abbreviated as BB, a brand founded by professional makeup artists. This name always reminds me of Charlie Brown, the stupid owner of Snoopy. The first time I saw this brand was in a beauty book written by an old American. The two authors showed off their own cosmetic bags, which contained several BB items. I always feel that BB is a very unique and strong woman. For example, few people will stand up and say: If you need to use an eyelash curler, it means you should change a mascara (of course, Maybe it is a satire on Shu Uemura’s famous mascara) eyelash curler). And no matter how rich its colors are, you can't feel it at all on its counters.
