Brilio.net/en - When we met with Francesca Tanmizi, the blogger behind Working With Monolids project on Instagram and Youtube, we didnt only talk about make up tipsand her views on having a typical Asian facial feature. We also asked her to give recommendation about beauty products that she finds working really well, both make up and skin care, especially for working women living in big cities because, who doesnt hate to splurge on stuff we cannot use, right?
So here are the five foolproof products Francesca swears by:
1 and 2. Skindinavias Setting Spray and Primer
Skindinavia's Primer and Setting SpraySkindinavia.com
You kinda have to use it together, she said. I have a very oily face. I have dry patches but get oily in my T-zone. Usually my foundation is gone by 12 p.m., but if I wear Skindinavia, it lasts until 5 or 6 p.m..Thats awesome!
Francesca bought the products online from the companys website, but she said the last time she ordered them, she got a notice from Indonesian Food and Drug Agency (BPOM) saying that she needed to process a license for the imported goods.
Its ridiculuous! she said with a laugh. Im not selling it, I just need it for myself!
If you want to try the setting spray and primer duo, there are local online shops selling them, but make sure the stores are legit and does not sell fake products. Or, if you dont trust online shops, you might want to try Urban Decays All Nighter Setting Spray which the company created in collaboration with Skindinavia most beauty bloggers say the two products works the same, the collaboration mightve been just a repackaging. Urban Decay is available in shopping malls in Jakarta.
3. Sulwhasoos Gingseng Eye Cream
Sulwhasoo's Concentrated Gingseng Renewing Eye CreamSulwhasoo.com
I stopped using it for two weeks to try different eye creams and my eyes started to sinking in! Im still recovering, Francesca said. When I use the eye cream, my eyes look so radiant.
But the product is in the higher end of price range. It sells for $180 per 25 ml on Sulwhasoos US website and the Indonesian website does not share the products exact price.
Its so expensive, thats why Im so pissed off that my skin likes it so much. I was hoping that I would hate it, but its really really good!
The product is available in Sulwhasoos counter in selected department stores in Indonesia.
4. The Face Shops BB Cooling Cushion
The Face Shop's BB Cooling Cushion The Face Shop
When I use it, my face looks really dewy without being oily. And everybody tells me that I have great skin. I dont, but everybody says I have great skin (when I use it). Amazing! she said.
And the product is also available in cute Disneys packaging!
5. Etude Houses Lip Patch
Etude House's Lip Patch Etudehouse.com
I have very dry lips and they often crack. Especially with liquid lipsticks, theyll end up cracking, she said. The product says to use it for fifteen minutes, but I go to sleep with it. And when I wake up, even if my lips were cracking and bleeding the day before, the next day the will be all healed.
