Professional makeup cosmetics, which are superior in all respects to ruble consumer goods, help you achieve stunning results. In Russia, there are more than a hundred brands of high-level cosmetics designed for use in salons and at home, in everyday life.
Wide range of colors, ultra-modern fashionable shades and color solutions, excellent brushes, convenient palettes. Especially for filming, shows, salon and competition work - the cosmetics are very durable and last all day. A selection of bright, active girls who follow fashion trends.
Bobbi Brown (USA)
Focus on natural beauty. Even flashy shades look natural, not flashy. Texture of all cosmetics light, sliding, without greasy shine and creepy lumps. Early in her career, makeup artist Bobbi Brown tested many brands professional cosmetics for every day, but either the products did not last well, or lasting effect achieved through the inclusion of aggressive substances in the composition. Bobbi has developed her own line of salon cosmetics, suitable for daily use without harming the health of the skin, without weighing down the image.
CHANEL (France)
A huge selection of decorative cosmetics for various skin types, with healing and caring effects, special series for the seasons (products resistant to frost or heat, moisture and dry air). Basic use only natural ingredients. However, CHANEL has not needed advertising for a century now - impeccable style and the highest quality, standard and example to follow.

You’re an expert in this matter and you probably know what it’s like when, contrary to all advertising promises, low-quality mascara falls off, eyeliner runs and foundation gets stained. Listen to the advice of our experts - professionals don’t use nonsense.

1. Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water. I use it to remove any makeup, even very long-lasting ones. In addition, the product will easily wash the brush, for example, from bright lipstick. (What is micellar water.)
2. High Precision Retouch corrector (3.5) from Giorgio Armani - no competition. Its lightweight but long-lasting formula works in auto-tuning mode - it adapts itself to the color of the skin.
3. Pro-prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base from Nars - the best among eyeshadow bases! With it, both eye shadow and eyeliner will stay in place throughout the day.
4. Lip balm is an important product for me. Basic requirements: non-sticky, non-greasy and long-lasting. Helena Rubinstein has just this one.
5. The POREfessional from Benefit instantly evens out pores and erases all skin imperfections. By the way, it holds the tone perfectly.
6. I use matting wipes from Shiseido before applying makeup to absorb excess oil. By the way, during the day such “blotters” are an ideal alternative to powder.
If nature hasn't blessed you with plump lips, a clever trick will fix it. It's simple: apply highlighter on them (you can go 1 mm beyond the contour), and cover them with balm on top. Ready.
I'll tell you the secret to fixing foundation. First, set it with transparent powder, then place a multi-layer napkin on your face and generously spray thermal water on top. Now free your face and let it dry.

Visagiste: Alena Moiseeva
Experience: 8 years
Education: Make-Up Designory school in New York, work at M.A.C.
1. Fixing eyebrow gel Art-Visage. Yes, yes, it was this budget domestic product that turned out to be the best in practice. Excellent fixation without gluing effect.
2. The shadows in the Naked palette from Urban Dekay are easy to blend and have a nice satin finish. In addition, there is a rich selection of shades (hello to lovers of experiments).
3. The Beautyblender sponge makes your face look flawless, even if your foundation or skin isn't perfect. Plus, thanks to its shape, it will climb into hard-to-reach areas.
4. Every makeup artist has a favorite shade. I found mine among the lipstick pencils from Nars, its name is Isola Bella. The product perfectly moisturizes, and the tone suits almost everyone.
5. Lasting Drama gel eyeliner from Maybelline NY will leave the right mark on your makeup. Its profile is glossy, long-lasting arrows, and its soft formula ensures ease of application.
Don’t be surprised, but under-eye concealer can be applied with the handle of a brush rather than with a bristles. It “tramples” the product, taking the excess onto itself, and does not stretch the delicate skin of the eyelid. A Japanese friend taught me this trick; they not only eat with chopsticks, but also apply makeup.
On average, 4 cosmetic products are used by Russian women, according to ROMIR Monitoring data. But girls under 24 are experimenting with makeup with all their might, so they also have spare players in their makeup bag. However, just like with ladies with higher education, we are destroying stereotypes: those who studied well also wear makeup well.
Top good cosmetics No. 3
Visagiste: Tatyana Chumakova
Experience: 12 years
Education: school of stylists "Persona", trainings for makeup artists Dani Fonseca, Joanna Schlip, Roshar (among their clients are Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez), work in the team of makeup artist Natalia Vlasova
1. To make the skin shimmer like the models from advertising posters, I use M.A.C Cream Color Base highlighter. I apply it to the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin and above the upper lip.
2. I appreciate High Definition powder from Make Up For Ever for its transparency - it does not change the shade of the foundation, but only removes shine. But if you have to take close-up photos, don’t overdo it - do you really need a photo with noticeable fluff on the skin?
3. Thick, beautiful eyebrows are not always a gift of nature. I usually fill them in with Bobbi Brown's Natural Brow Shaper. It comes out very natural.
4. Using Harmony blush from M.A.C I correct the oval of the face. I recommend them to owners of pale skin, for whom powder with a tanning effect, where a yellow tone dominates, is categorically not suitable for this purpose. (Apply blush correctly.)
5. Mister Light concealer from Givenchy - fighter of dark circles under the eyes. A big plus is that it does not collect in the folds of the lower eyelid.
It's a shame if you haven't tried sculpting powder or tanning powder yet. It will add clarity to the oval of the face if applied under the cheekbones and on the wings of the nose.
Try cream blush if you haven't already. Firstly, they look natural (it’s difficult to overdo it), and secondly, they can be applied to the lips and even eyelids. The main thing is to do everything with your fingers.
87% of our women (ACNielsen research) use decorative products. There are only more Spanish women (93%), Hungarians (90%) and natives of Thailand (91%). Moreover, half of these 87% will not show up at work without makeup - they say, it’s better to fire them.
This company has been winning the hearts of beautyholics for more than 25 years. Initially, Artdeco positioned themselves as a brand of professional cosmetics for salons, but after some time it became clear: the demand for products is growing among ordinary buyers. For relatively little money, you get rich, highly pigmented shades and high durability - your makeup will stay firmly in place for several hours.
main feature brand - replaceable Mosaic blocks, which come out in new cases every season. You choose what to fill the blocks with and create individual palettes with eye shadows and blushes with different textures and shades. By the way, we also recommend taking a closer look at the Perfect Teint Concealer in a convenient case with a brush: its delicate texture easily disguises imperfections and circles under the eyes.
Sephora
Popular
Sephora is not just the famous department stores with a giant entrance that we come across every now and then in Europe. This is also a large brand that creates its own line of cosmetics. The brand's bestseller to this day remains an express manicure remover. To use it, you don't need cotton pads - just this miracle jar with a sponge inside. You put your finger in the jar, twist it in different sides a couple of times - and even the brightest varnish will disappear without a trace. Take a closer look at cream eyeshadows in all shades: from neon blue to classic beige - they will withstand both snow and rain, and can only be removed with special means for waterproof makeup.
Catrice
This brand of cosmetics boasts not only a variety of textures and shades, but also a high-quality composition. When creating each product, only natural raw materials are used - so girls with sensitive skin and allergy sufferers should not be afraid. In addition, the products are very durable - they will last even under the hot spotlights.
It’s worth taking a closer look at the Allround Concealer cream concealer palette: it contains five shades. Use green to disguise pimples and redness, pink will visually smooth out dark circles under the eyes, apply the lightest one - powdery - on the bridge of the nose, apply beige on top of colored ones, and dark shade use to contour your face.
Nouba
This brand was founded by Italian makeup artist Rosie Armanini back in 1978. She was inspired by women from African tribe Nubas, who draw various patterns on their bodies and faces every day. The main feature of the brand is its persistent and very rich pigments. Therefore, their long-lasting liquid lipstick Millebaci instantly became a bestseller and a favorite of all women. There are several reasons to become friends with her. The first is the perfect red shade, that classic one that will suit a girl with any skin tone. The second is convenient application using a soft applicator. And the third, most important reason is persistence. The lipstick does not “run away” from the lips and can withstand several cups of coffee.
Gosh
Initially, the brand produced skincare products, and then switched to decorative cosmetics. The goal was to create products that, when used, would make women exclaim enthusiastically “wow” - this is how the name Gosh is translated from Danish. The brand is also loved for its numerous lipsticks and lip glosses (they protect the delicate skin of the lips, and some have light aroma vanilla), and for moisturizing foundations. We advise you to take a closer look at the Amazing Length Build Mascara lengthening mascara with panthenol. It not only visually makes eyelashes fuller and longer, but also gently cares for them - you can find a nutritional complex in the composition.
NYX
The founder of the brand, Toni Ko, is also a beautyaholic. As a teenager, she would save money on lunch so she could run to a cosmetics store in the evening and come out with a new lipstick. NYX is the cosmetics that Tony created for herself and for her friends, and then suddenly decisively released onto the big market. At her headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, she enthusiastically tests new products, overseeing every step of the creation of lipsticks, eye shadows and even brushes.
It’s worth taking a closer look at the Butter Gloss lip glosses, which are not called “butters” for nothing. They are very dense, viscous, with a thick texture and rich pigment. You need to apply them as carefully as possible, but they will honestly last on your lips all evening.
Sleek Make Up
The British brand Sleek targets girls who are not afraid of experimenting with makeup. Their color range includes a wide variety of shades: from terracotta to gold and charcoal black. Beauty bloggers and simple girls loved the brand for an affordable price, interesting color combinations and stylish packaging - all products are in matte black cases. You should start getting acquainted with the brand with its numerous sets. Take a look at the Precious Metals Highlighting palette in packaging with a magnetic clasp, the Blush By 3 blush palette and, of course, the eyeshadow palettes - with their help, daytime makeup can easily be transformed into evening makeup.
Kiko
The brand was created in the Italian city of Bergamo, not far from Milan. And only recently the brand began to spread throughout the world, even reaching Colombia. The brand refuses advertising on principle - new customers are already running to it in an endless stream. When asked “How did you find out about us,” everyone smiles: “A friend told me.” If you are in Italy and come across a Kiko store, choose nail polishes (there are more than a hundred shades), highlighters, moisturizing lipsticks and mineral powders.
Manly Pro
This brand is famous not so much for its decorative cosmetics as for its makeup accessories. Pay attention to brushes, eyelash curlers with a spring, spatulas and palettes. In short, Manly Pro products will especially appeal to makeup artists and girls with a serious approach to makeup. As for decorative cosmetics, take a closer look at the set of dry correctors - with just two shades you can create ideal chiseled cheekbones and a thin nose.

The professional products that cosmetologists use in beauty salons differ significantly from the products presented in stores. Many women have long switched to using just such shampoos, creams and masks at home. Indeed, despite the rather high cost, their effectiveness is several times higher than that of conventional products intended for the mass consumer. The concentration of nutrients in them is much greater, and, therefore, the result can be seen almost immediately.
Our experts selected 16 brands of professional cosmetics for hair, body, face and makeup and included them in the rating of the best world brands today.

Attention! This rating is subjective in nature, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before purchasing, consultation with a specialist is required.
Leafing through a glossy magazine, it’s impossible not to admire the velvety skin of celebrities, the lack of cellulite on models, their flawless makeup and silky hair. “Of course, Photoshop!” - you will say and you will be partly right. But sometimes we have no less respect for TV presenters, actresses and even participants in reality shows, whom we have the opportunity to watch online. One of the secrets fresh face and neat styling - professional cosmetics.
As the survey showed, not only celebrities in Lately people increasingly prefer professional face, hair and body care products. Perfect makeup is also the merit of professional cosmetics, but decorative ones. The question naturally arises: if this kind of cosmetics is better, why has it not yet supplanted the products of the mass market segment. You don't have to look far for the answer:
- Price. The first thing that catches your eye is the cost of professional cosmetics, which is significantly higher than its traditional counterparts. It is not so easy to purchase the treasured jars, even if you are ready to pay the required amount for them. The fact is that they are usually sold in pharmacies, beauty salons and online stores. But they may not be on supermarket shelves. Sometimes you have to make a lot of effort to find the desired bottle or jar, especially if there are no official representatives in your city.
- Compound. One of the key characteristics of professional cosmetics is its concentrated composition. Actually, therein lies the secret of high efficiency and instant results. Like a wave magic wand, bags under the eyes disappear in the morning, despite a sleepless night, and your hair instantly acquires a glossy shine and is easy to style. A team of researchers works on the selection of components and their proportions, creating optimal composition formulas in laboratories. The manufacturer mandatory tests and certifies products, so you can be confident in safety and effectiveness. Naturally, such costs cannot but affect the cost, and therefore experts once again emphasize that professional products simply cannot be cheap. A tempting price in most cases indicates a fake and dishonesty of the manufacturer.
- Durability. Long-lasting makeup is the dream of many girls. However, cosmetologists unanimously do not recommend using professional products every day. They advise making a choice in their favor only on special occasions, for example, when it comes to wedding makeup or in preparation for a photo shoot. On an ordinary day, it makes no sense to apply such a thick tone, paint your lips with long-lasting lipstick and use moisture-proof mascara. Abuse of concentrated products, contrary to expectations, can aggravate the condition of the facial skin and negatively affect the hair, if we are talking, for example, about superfixation. Hypoallergenic skin care and high-quality decorative cosmetics will be quite enough for every day.
As you can see, professional products are not without their drawbacks, but their outstanding advantages, led by a high level of control over product quality, attract more and more fashionistas from all over the world. What to look for when choosing, experts will tell you:
- Volume. Most often, professional products are purchased by cosmetologists, makeup artists and hairdressers, who use them daily in their work. Larger bottles in this case justify the expense, while those purchased for a loved one may remain unclaimed even by half, given the expiration date. Therefore, a large displacement for private use is more of a minus than a plus.
- Design. Don’t be put off by the nondescript packaging of shampoos or creams; simple design is a common occurrence among professional products. Manufacturers rely on the contents of products from the professional line, guaranteeing safety and high efficiency.
- Type. Dermatologists and trichologists draw your attention to the fact that the main factors in choosing professional products are the types of facial skin and hair. Selecting funds by trial and error will be expensive, and most importantly, irrational. It is enough to get advice from a specialist the day before, who will tell you in detail about your individual characteristics, and perhaps, taking into account their experience, will even recommend specific brands.
- Manufacturer. Trust in the company is an important aspect. It is unlikely that anyone will dare to try the new product on themselves. That's why we read reviews so carefully, hoping to protect ourselves from disappointment. In order not to miss a purchase, make sure that the brand owns patented technology. The products must be free of allergens and harmful synthetic components. The packaging or accompanying instructions should provide a scientific basis for the mechanism of action of the product, in other words, how a quick lifting effect is achieved or how the product can be used to disguise age spots in no time.
- characteristics (composition, durability) of the brand;
- cost (value for money);
