For normal skin tone enough day cream. We are talking about an ordinary day cream, enriched with pigments. If you are by nature relatively smooth complexion, you will be satisfied with this tool. But for a bright evening make-up day cream tone will be too transparent.

The structure of modern powders and creams often include nutrients and vitamins, tones the skin, with antioxidants and tkaneukreplyayuschie compositions with lifting effect, perfumes and sweet enticing aromas.
