The Natural Appearances of Hyspia

The natural appearances you’d find most commonly within Hyspia are those with a tan skin tone ranging from very dark to light tan, hair that can vary from light browns to an almost pure black, and eye colors of brown, black, and on rare occasions, green.

Curly or wavy hair is seen above all else, each of these characteristics lending itself its own unique type of care in order to meet the beauty standard curated within Hyspia.

Fresh, clean skin - neat and clean nails - and full and lustrous hair is all something to strive to meet to look their best.

 

On Hyspian Makeup

Hyspia is located on the Ciudad de Plata Isle and is surrounded by flower fields, beach sands, and the crashing waves of the ocean. Due to this, it has direct access to beautiful rich pigments for clothing and makeup alike.

 Hyspian makeup favors warmer tones to bring warmth to your complexion. Just be careful to use them sparingly so you avoid a sunburnt look, one all too easily achieved with a bit too much blush.

 

On Rouge
Rogue is used to bring color to the skin and give a softer, more youthful appearance. When choosing a cheek rogue you need to consider your skin color, those of darker tones would favor a dark red-brown or deep purple while those with lighter tones would look best with a dusty pink or berry. The rogue itself is made of beeswax, oils, and pigments. Typically, pigments are derived from flowers. The most commonly used being: El Ceibo, la Orquídea, la Rosa, Saffron, and Calafate. The petals of the flowers are ground up into a fine powder, and mixed with one another to create a unique shade for each compact.

 

Hyspian lip rouges favor rich reds and oranges, perfectly complimenting the blush of the cheeks. Though, this is better suited on tanner skin tones, if one is pale, favor a lighter red, to avoid a washed-out look.

On Varying Powders

There are many powders to touch on, the specifics being face powders, brighteners, and shadows. Powders are most commonly made of wheaten flour which leads to a pale cream color. For the tanner complexions out there, pigments are added to deepen the hue of the powder. This cosmetic is used to make the face appear soft and smooth, bringing youth to the skin.

Skin brighteners are used to give your skin an extra shine once the powder is applied. The powder itself takes away the healthy glow your skin naturally has, so to bring back the glow you would apply a brightener. Typically, brighteners are made of mica pigments that can be added to other bases to create a different medium of product. Whether that be powder or more of an oil.

Shadows is where you get to have a bit of fun, different pigments applied to the eye to match any and every outfit you may wear. Shadows are most commonly seen in Hyspia being warm tones, most notably being a saffron red to match the rouge. Shadows are made by combining pigments together to create each unique shade, the de Pelear family commonly representing the Viceroyal House with a blue pop of color on the lid. The more common populace would typically wear warm oranges and browns alongside Hyspia’s iconic red saffron. Once the shadows are applied, most ladies will apply Kohl to bring life to their eyes. A darker shade for the tan complexions and a light shade for the paler ones. Kohl is claimed to keep the eyes cool and clean, improve vision and strengthen the eyes. Ladies will line their waterlines with the mineral, the warm hue standing out against their skin as you typically go darker with such. It is common to have a bit of fun with Kohl, adding designs as you please.

Nail Polish

Nail polish has been around since the dawn of time, typically used by men to give their nails a red stain. But for this era of Hyspia, women are commonly painting their nails in many different colors. The de Pelear girls commonly wearing the signature de Pelear blue the house consistently flaunts. The nail polish typically used within Hyspia is made out of beeswax, gelatin, and egg white dyed with orchids, roses, and saffron. A common color among simpler women is a warm brown or red, while the higher-status women have a bit of fun with their colors. The maids within the palace paint intricate designs upon the surface as the girls chat and catch up.
To make the nails shiny, apply a paste containing baking soda, lemon juice, and oil. This will give your nails depth and make the design of the nail itself pop against the skin. If you want to go for a matte look, leave the polish as is.

Skincare

Taking care of your skin is a daily routine, one that cannot simply be taken up and dumped at a moment's notice. For the upkeep of your skin, it is something one must dedicate themselves to in order to achieve their object of desire: A fresh, clean face.

Due to this, within Hyspia it is common for spa days to be a regular occurrence. 

Massages, pedicures, manicures, and facials occur within the Palace for the royals, their close friends, and esteemed guests. The spa days were originally started by Princess Sofia de Pelear, becoming a normal occurrence within the Ciudad de Plata palace. 

Having become something occurring nearly every day, and having all but replaced teatime in favor of catching up on drama or the exchanging of information about any brief time spent apart as their nails are filed and hair is curled.

 

For many Hyspians, they have an oily or combination-type skin.

 Should you have a combination skin type, that being oily in some places and dry in others, you may find it’s best to skip moisturizer and only apply it in place of where you need it.

As to further skincare and most of all, prevention, apply aloe vera before heading out for the day, use a parasol, or frequently make use of shade. Wearing this will aid from hyperpigmentation becoming a problem, alongside that of freckles, splotches, scars, or acne from getting worse.

Facial Masks and Moisturizing

When choosing a facial mask, the key ingredients you’d want to see used are that of clay and aloe vera. An aloe vera mask is preferred to be chilled, applied before bed, and left on overnight while a clay mask if left on overnight has drying effects that will be detrimental to the skin lest it is severely oily.

Some benefits of an aloe vera mask are to aid in moisturizing the skin, lightening blemishes, and going as far as to reduce infection and acne both.

Meanwhile, clay masks are for brightening one's skin, clearing it up, and managing oily skin that may just be a problem.

These, naturally, can be used together for a better experience. Facial masks are recommended to be used one to three times a week, on a longer scale for those of a more oily skin type.

Soaps and Exfoliators

Picking a soap with moisturizing and exfoliating properties alike is important for this particular skin type. Exfoliation is important for unclogging pores and preventing acne from becoming a problem, while moisturizing properties is important for regulating the oils of your skin.

When using soaps, it’s important not to wash your face with scented soap, especially if it is a bar of soap. Due to its scent and dyes, it can leave skin red, irritated, and blotchy. Non-scented soaps are paramount in this, allowing for an irritation-free cleanse.

To close this out, the most important thing to keep in mind overall is that everyone has a routine or regiment that works for them. It can take time to find your perfect fit, but stick with what you do know for fact and keep experiments minuscule so you may figure out what the troublemaker is when choosing to change a skincare or makeup regimen.
