What is a foundation with a lifting effect?

It is clear that any foundation evens out skin tone and visually smoothes it. But the transformations do not end there.

1. On the one hand, foundations have been enriched with useful caring substances - from vitamins and antioxidants to various components that can really create a lifting effect. However, such products do not replace care.
2. On the other hand, scientists have added pigment to some creams and stabilized it. Thus, BB and CC creams came into use, combining the functions of full-fledged care and toning.

The clue is in the names. If the product is called “foundation with a lifting effect” or “anti-aging foundation,” it means you have a wonderful modern makeup product in your hands. It will perfectly complement your usual day cream, but will not replace it.

This is a foundation that, in addition to a well-groomed appearance and a visual tightening effect, will give the skin a lot of bonuses.

If the product is called “lifting cream with a toning effect,” it is an independent care product that does not require prior application of a daytime moisturizer.

Properties of foundation lifting cream

1. Ideally suits aging skin, cares for it, while providing an instant visual effect. Pigments, reflective particles and silicones are balanced in the composition in such a way as to successfully mask wrinkles. Whereas a regular foundation can get into the creases of the skin and emphasize them.
2. Excellent support for day lifting care.
3. Enriched with moisturizing ingredients. And there is no such thing as excess hydration.
4. Thanks to its enhanced composition, it more actively protects the skin from external negative influences compared to conventional foundation.
5. Contains SPF.

Elena Eliseeva, medical expert at Vichy:

“Foundation cannot replace anti-aging cream. That is, it will fight wrinkles, but the results will never compare with anti-age cream. From a purely technological standpoint, it is impossible to “place” as many active ingredients in a foundation as in an anti-aging cream.

It is also known that even the most expensive and effective ingredients practically do not work on dehydrated skin, so before applying a foundation lifting cream, you need to apply a foundation with a rejuvenating and moisturizing effect.”

Age-related makeup products often include:

1. hyaluronic acid;
2. antioxidants (vitamins C or E, plant extracts);
3. adenosine;
4. mono- and polysaccharides;
5. algae extracts;
6. amino acids.

Also, their composition almost always contains light silicones and reflective particles, which allow the product to lie as smoothly as possible, without clogging into wrinkles, and visually even out the skin.

How to choose the right product

In this matter, the right choice is timely.

Before age 30, a foundation with a lifting effect is simply inappropriate.

Starting from the age of 35, anti-aging foundation can become another link in anti-age maintenance beauty therapy.

After 45, it is better to switch to multifunctional foundations. Of course, this does not negate the remaining stages of care. When choosing, you need to focus on your skin type.

Foundations with a lifting effect are often designed for skin prone to dryness, this is the most common age-related problem. Therefore, those with oily skin need to choose a cream especially carefully.

Anti-aging and foundation in one tube. Due to the action of proxilan, it restores elasticity to the skin, reduces wrinkles, maintains moisture and, of course, evens out the tone. Grapefruit extract saturates the skin with beneficial substances, and mineral pigments give a healthy color.

How to use foundation lifting cream correctly

It should be used only after proper cleansing of the skin and preliminary care (washing with gel or foam, using tonic, then applying serum and/or day cream).

Warm a little foundation on your palm so that it is better distributed over the skin.

Using the fingertips of both hands or a brush, use a light dotted line or a solid line to outline the forehead, cheekbones, and lower contour of the face.

Blend the foundation, moving along massage lines from the center of the face to the periphery. Avoid the area around the eyes. This self-massage, stimulating blood and lymph flow, will enhance the lifting effect.

Don't forget about your neck. Here, too, foundation and firming massage are needed.

At the end, gently “beat” the product into the skin with a sponge (beauty blender) for a more uniform result.

Anti-aging foundation Sisley Skinleya Fond De Teint Lissant Anti-age. Are you serious?

Name “Anti-aging foundation with lifting effect Sisley Skinleya Fond De Teint Lissant Anti-age” It sounds so promising that once again I want to believe in lifting, and in the absence of wrinkles... and many others. But in reality everything turned out to be a little different...

1. Perfectly evens out complexions
2. the skin is instantly smoothed
3. wrinkles are not visible
4. complexion is silky-uniform, bright, natural
5. skin glows and looks young

Now let's look at the result.

After what I saw, I wanted to ask the producers: “Are you serious? Does it align perfectly? Bright and natural complexion?

The cream did not even out the skin tone perfectly, it did not glow, but rather became matte and it did not even hide the dark circles under the eyes!

Now about the most important thing - durability.

When I began to wash off the cream, as soon as I ran a wet hand over my face, it was gone and the skin instantly became bare. At first I didn’t believe it and went out into the daylight and decided to do the same with the second half of my face. And the result was repeated. That is, the cream is washed off with ordinary water?! So the conclusion is that if I get caught in the rain, will the cream just wash off? I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but something tells me it could easily float around and end up in the puddle rather than on my face.

Among the advantages, it is worth noting that the cream:

1. has a pleasant texture
2. very easy to apply
3. does not emphasize or clog pores

A nice bonus for purchasing the cream is the presence of a brush, which, by the way, has a very pleasant bristles, but is not convenient to use due to the lack of a long handle.

Conclusion: anti-wrinkle foundation Vichy Liftactiv Flexilift Teint did a much better job of evening out the tone and how it generally looks on the skin. And Sisley is closer to the classic foundation without major changes from the “before” and “after”.

How do you like it Anti-aging foundation Sisley Skinleya Fond De Teint Lissant Anti-age?

12 comment(s) “ Anti-aging foundation Sisley Skinleya Fond De Teint Lissant Anti-age. Are you serious? ”

And it costs like a helicopter)))
I am always skeptical about 2 in 1 products. Foundation should fulfill its main function - to make the skin VISUALLY perfect, which we did not see. And it’s better to rejuvenate with products specifically designed for this purpose.
In St. Petersburg, this cream has no place in the village or the city; here we have something pouring down from above all the time)))

I agree, either care or beauty))) But brands still produce 2 in 1 to please both, but most often it turns out the other way around)

So an expensive luxury Sisley waved his hand at you, and it’s gone.

Yes, I didn’t expect that it would wash off so easily after contact with water...

I really didn’t like this foundation from Sisley - neither the way it fits, nor the color range, nor the coverage density. But another foundation of this brand, Phyto tone Radiance, is one of the best, and yes, it also costs quite a bit, according to the gold card it’s about 3,400 rubles.

I agree, and the thickness of the coverage is a real problem... I’ll know that they have other worthy creams, judging by your comment!)

I have known the Sisley brand for a long time; I have been using both skin care and decorative cosmetics for about 6-7 years, alternating between different programs and products. I can say with confidence that the brand is one of the most effective in care!! provided that the program is COMPETENTLY compiled. as for tone. funds, then phyto tone is really cool!! and corrects, and shines, and lasts!! As for Skinley, the tone cream is an excellent product, but it is not suitable for every skin condition. it works great on tired, dehydrated skin, it nourishes and moisturizes well, maintains skin vitality throughout the day... as a makeup artist, I also didn’t have high hopes for it, but it was one of the few that saved my skin and looked great for 12 hours face (for me), when I worked for 10 hours in a room with air conditioners, and a huge number of lamps and in a stuffy environment, besides... I was pleasantly surprised! but of course the product is not for filming, but for life on the skin of some beauty, the tone properties are a bonus for this product, but the care properties are at their best, as always with Sisley.

I agree, their care is excellent and well worth the price. And decorative cosmetics and creams, of course, are all individual. But you must admit that it is washed off with the most ordinary water, but of course, if there is no contact with it, then it behaves very persistently!)

I really regretted purchasing this cream. It rolls off when applied with a brush or with your fingers, it’s just a terrible cream and not worth the money at all! I am writing to protect other girls from my mistake….

I’m not thrilled with it either, but it didn’t smudge when applied...

I strongly do not recommend buying this cream.
I bought this cream at a fabulous price, they promised simply unrealistic results. But in the end I was in such shock, I would never have thought that they could sell for that kind of money..... Such.....
Firstly, I didn’t see any caring effect, it didn’t hide any imperfections. Moreover, with normal contact with something, it is easily erased. For me, it was erased from a scarf that touched my chin, I want to notice, there was no strong friction and the scarf was enough gentle. (this was not the case with other creams) the second thing that shocked me was that if I cry or wet my face (well, for example, in the rain), then white traces of drops remain......this has never happened before with other products.
In terms of consistency and feel on the skin, it is no different from other cheaper products.
So my advice is NOT to buy this cream. Don’t expect magical results from it, as they say, you’ll be more likely to be disappointed and resentful of the money spent.
I'm just shocked.

I agree that he really has problems with durability, which was a complete disappointment...(
