Matte or juicy:choosing the finish that best suits your face
When it comes to creams and cosmetics, words like 'matte', 'juicy', 'illuminated' finish are often thrown around, which we either don't understand or sound a bit empty to us. Today we talk to you about what it gives you: what will look good on your face, what to look for to get the best out of it and how to play with both according to the plan. In any case, don't worry, this will of course prevent you from looking oily or dry like wet clothes. Get in trouble!
What is a matte finish?
A matte finish in cosmetics is associated with the absence of any type of shine. It is a polished, velvety, soft effect...like a peach butt. It appeals a lot to those who seek to minimize the appearance of imperfections (not smooth skin) and control facial oil. It was the standard of beauty in the 90s (think of the time of Cindy Crawford or Claudia Schiffer) and represents clean, classic, timeless, elegant beauty.
It is also the finish that ALL the actors in your favorite series and movies and the TV presenters have. In their case, because they seek to minimize the unwanted effect of flashes and other artificial lights that can reflect on your face, making you shine brighter than your mother's mobile screen.
To get a matte finish on your face, you can use products like our Dragon Shot facial moisturizer with shine-control technology for 8 hours or Handsomefyer" class="">Handsomefyer , all-in-one (moisturizer, treatment, concealer, sunscreen,...) which in its version normal also provides this finish.
What is a juicy finish?
A juicy finish tries to emulate the condition of freshly hydrated, dewy (like morning 'dew', that is) and naturally illuminated skin... without crossing into glow territory. This finish is about enhancing the appearance of skin at its vital peak through nutritious and emollient ingredients, like a legume that you have soaked overnight.
It is the most common finish among tiktokers, instagramers, beauty-influencers and the current Korean beauty standard. Although it has many similar names with subtle variations (dewy finish, glowy finish, chok-chok, cloud-skin, glass-skin,...) they all seek the same thing: your skin looks like a roast chicken just right in the oven (from this You touch it and sauce comes out) instead of a grilled breast fillet without oil.
For a juicy and natural finish, you can use products from our range that enhance the natural appearance of your skin, but without making them feel heavy or greasy, such as our Tan-Tan-Go day serum, which is not only loaded with antioxidants but Take your skin to that healthy summer tone of the first day after vacation. Handsomefyer-xtra" class="">Handsomefyer XTRA (all-in-one perfecter) also has a juicy finish, like a watermelon on the beach or a strawberry just out of the pool.

Mate vs. juicy
the final choice
Having understood the differences in aspects, the choice between one and the other is then reduced to three factors:
The duration
A matte finish can last up to 8 hours without the need for reapplications, ideal for skin prone to oiliness or preference for a shine-free effect. A juicy finish, on the other hand, will look hydrated and almost moist all day, so it may require a little more maintenance.
The plan you have in your hands
The plan you have in your hands
If the plan is to be indoors and at night, a juicy finish is more playful. Also if you have a presentation or exhibition and you need to liven up a dull, zombie-like face tired from the week, but appearing 'natural'. If you are going to be outdoors or in a hot and humid environment, the matte effect is your solution. Also, if you are going to take photos or have a spotlight or direct light on your face, it is better to go for the matte one.

Your skin and your traumas
The traumas of those who have grown up with oily skin always lead them to look for matte finishes to fight against the hated shine. And at the other extreme, those who struggle with dry skin or notice that they are becoming dehydrated over the years, prefer the juicy team.

Mate o jugoso: eligiendo el acabado que mejor le sienta a tu carita
En esto de las cremitas y la cosmética, a menudo se lanzan palabros como acabado ‘mate’, ‘jugoso’, ‘iluminado’, … que no llegamos a entender o nos suenan un pelín vacíos. Hoy te hablamos de lo que te aporta: de lo que te va a sentar bien a tu carita, de qué buscar para sacarte el mejor partido y de cómo jugar con ambas según el plan. En cualquier caso, tranqui, que por sentado que esto va de evitar parecer aceitoso o seco cual mojama. ¡Al lío!
¿Qué es un acabado mate?
Un acabado mate en cosmética se asocia a la ausencia de cualquier tipo de brillo. Es un efecto pulido, aterciopelado, suave…cual culito de melocotón. Le llama bastante a aquellos que buscan minimizar la apariencia de imperfecciones (piel no lisa) y controlar la grasa de la cara. Fue el estándar de la belleza en los 90 (piensa en la época de Cindy Crawford o Claudia Schiffer) y representa una belleza limpia, clásica, atemporal, elegante.
Es, además, el acabado que tienen TODOS los actores de tus series y pelis favoritas y los presentadores de la tele. En su caso, porque buscan minimizar el efecto no deseado de flashes y demás luces artificiales que se pueden reflejar en tu cara haciéndote brillar más que la pantalla del móvil de tu madre.
Para conseguir un acabado mate en tu carita, puedes utilizar productos como nuestra hidratante facial Dragon Shot con tecnología controla-brillos durante 8 horas o Handsomefyer, todo-en-uno (hidratante, tratamiento, corrector, filtro solar, …) que en su versión normal también proporciona este acabado.
¿Qué es un acabado jugoso?
Un acabado jugoso trata de emular la condición de una piel recién hidratada, rociada (como el ‘rocío’ mañanero, se entiende) y naturalmente iluminada… sin llegar a cruzar al territorio de brillo. Este acabado va de potenciar la apariencia de una piel en su peak vital por medio de ingredientes nutritivos y emolientes, cual legumbre que has dejado en remojo toda una noche.
Es el acabado más común entre tiktokers, instagramers, beauty-influencers y el estándar de belleza coreana actual. Aunque tiene muchos nombres similares con variaciones sutiles (acabado dewy, acabado glowy, chok-chok, cloud-skin, glass-skin, …) todos buscan lo mismo: tu piel parece un pollo asado en su punto justo de horno (de esto que lo tocas y sale salsita) en vez de un filete de pechuga pasado a la plancha y sin aceite.
Para un acabado jugoso y natural, puedes utilizar productos de nuestra gama que potencien la apariencia natural de tu piel, pero sin que se noten pesados o grasosos, como nuestro serum de día Tan-Tan-Go que no solo va cargado de antioxidantes sino que lleva a tu piel a ese tono de verano saludable de primer día post-vacaciones. También Handsomefyer XTRA (perfeccionador todo en uno) tiene un acabado jugosito, de sandía en la playa o fresa recién salida de la piscina.

Mate vs. jugoso
la elección final
Habiendo entendido las diferencias en aspectos, la elección entre uno y otro se reduce entonces a tres factores:
La duración
Un acabado mate te puede durar hasta 8 horas sin necesidad de reaplicaciones, ideal para pieles con tendencia a la grasilla o preferencia por un efecto sin-brillos. Un acabado jugosito, por el contrario, va de lucir hidratado casi húmedo todo el día, con lo que puede requerir algo más de mantenimiento.
El plan que tengas entre manos
El plan que tengas entre manos
Si el plan va a ser en interiores y por la noche, un acabado jugoso es más juguetón. También si tienes una presentación o exposición y necesitas darle vidilla a una cara apagada, zombie y cansada de la semana, pero aparentando ‘natural’. Si vas a estar al aire libre o en un ambiente caluroso y húmedo, el efecto mate es tu solución. Además, si te van a hacer fotos o tener un foco o luz directa en la cara, mejor tira por el mate.

Tu piel y tus traumitas
Los traumitas de los que han crecido con piel grasa siempre les llevan a buscar acabados mate para luchar contra los odiados brillos. Y en el otro extremo, los que batallan con una piel seca o van notando que con los años se les va deshidratando, prefieren el team jugosote.

El resumen: jugoso o mate
y ande yo caliente
Las palabras apenas importan y todos los acabados tienen su momento, preferencias y beneficios. Lo que de verdad aporta es cómo te sientes, qué te apetece hacer y hasta dónde quieres jugar. Desmitificar y entender las opciones es solamente el primer pasito para el reto final: navegar hacia el entendimiento de lo que mejor te sienta y más te gusta.
Y a nosotros no nos gusta elegir cuando podemos tenerlo todo
