SKINDINAVIA 10-Year anniversary

The Makeup Artist’s Choice For Flawless 16-Hour Makeup

skindinavia award

Award-winning cosmetics brand SKINDINAVIA celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The original authority on makeup finishing sprays, SKINDINAVIA is the professional choice for that all-day just-applied look. Applied as a lightweight, breathable mist, SKINDINAVIA makeup finishing sprays are the only product clinically-proven to set liquid and powder makeup and hold cosmetics vibrantly in place for up to 16 hours.

SKINDINAVIA recently expanded its lineup with the first and only lightweight, silicone-free primer spray that delivers a smooth canvas for impeccable, long-wear makeup application that offers long-term skin benefits. The lightweight, good-for-you oil-control primer spray delivers a balanced canvas for all-day makeup wear that slows oil production, prevents redness, uneven skin tone and large pores.

Skindinavia was created in one of the more unlikely places. It was there, at a Miami nightclub, that eventual SKINDINAVIA founder Allen Goldman found inspiration – in the face of glitter, lipstick and oppressive heat.

Cosmetics industry veteran, Goldman found himself surrounded by melted makeup. Beautiful women mingled with shiny foundation and streaked bronzer, fanning their faces to no avail. Drawing upon his cosmetic industry experience, he theorized that if he was able to keep makeup from becoming overheated, he could solve the problem of makeup meltdown that had yet to have a solution. That day SKINDINAVIA was born.

Goldman earned access to top national chemists and an interesting ingredient piqued his interest. He observed a new temperature-control technology could provide a time-released cooling property on the surface of the skin when needed.  He then came up with the simple idea of using this to keep the makeup surface cool to prevent makeup meltdown and excess shine.

The product launched to the acclaim of high-style film and television studio artists in New York and Los Angeles as it greatly reduced the need for touch-ups on set during long days under hot studio lighting. Tested under extreme conditions for makeup such as NYC subways, Vegas showgirls performing in 110 degree heat and Lady Gaga’s international tours, SKINDINAVIA has become the number one choice of global makeup artists community and by women everywhere who want to be sure their makeup always looks freshly applied.

“I gave it a good test run by sleeping in my makeup after the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards and

I’m happy to say that I woke up looking just as fresh as I went to bed the night before.”

– Andrea Pomerantz Lustig

SKINDINAVIA, founded in 2005 by cosmetics industry veteran Allen Goldman, creates products that set and enhance the work of makeup artists during long days under hot studio lighting. Our revolutionary Makeup Finishing Spray was launched in 2007, after two years of development, to the acclaim of high-style film and television studio artists in New York and Los Angeles as it greatly reduced the need for touch-ups on set. It remains the only makeup setting product clinically tested to hold for 16 hours.

SKINDINAVIA was the first brand to use patented Temperature Control Technology to keep makeup from melting and becoming too shiny and is clinically-proven to keep those colors vibrant for up to 16 hours. Today, SKINDINAVIA is the number one choice of global makeup artists community and by women everywhere who want to be sure their makeup always looks freshly applied.

Read more about SKINDINAVIA Makeup Finishing Spray …

The only makeup spray to be clinically-proven to extend makeup wear for 16+ hours. Used by Lady Gaga, Fergie on tour!

  • 90% of users agree: their makeup looked as good at the end of the day as the moment it was applied.
  • Proven to help keep makeup from settling into pores, fine lines and wrinkles.
  • The patented Temperature Control Technology® keeps the makeup surface cool to avoid melting or sliding.

Read more about SKINDINAVIA Makeup Primer Spray

The first silicone-free makeup spray primer on the market. Silicone is so slippery it can actually make your makeup “pool” into pores. This primer has been clinically shown to reduce pore size, redness and users also noticed fewer breakouts and balanced sebum production over 4 weeks, it’s like you’re misting the equivalent of green juice, let’s say, on your skin every single day that helps your it rebound and counteract the effects of talcs, foundation, etc.

skindinavia makeup primer spray results

In a third-party clinical trial:

  • 93% of users said it made their pores look less noticeable.
  • 97% said their skin appears less oily throughout the day.
  • 90% said their makeup has never looked better!

Personal note: I tried The MakeUp Primer Spray and am anxious to see the complete results with the Makeup Finishing Spray. I must remember to “shake it well” as directed on the bottle – So be sure to do that first. I have a habit of forgetting but I am working on that. I do see a great improvement in my make up settling into my (YIKES, must I say it…) fine lines and wrinkles. It doesn’t settle there! I follow the package directions and spray 3 to 4 times in an X and T formation.  It feels so refreshing going on, I can’t help but spray some on my neck and decollete too.  I want to give it a week or so more of use to find even better improvement in the results. I hope to report back soon on the Finishing Spray! Lisa 🙂

Good gally miss Mally

It’s makeup, it’s invisible, it’s a setting powder! That’s right, the first ever invisible powder from Mally Beauty is literally taking the beauty industry by storm. It goes on clear and helps to set makeup in place for an all day flawless finish that help eliminate fine lines/wrinkles and closes (but does no clog) pores. When I first saw the product, I have to admit I was a little hesitant and kind of freaked. I didn’t know how to apply or how to even explain what it is.

Mally Beauty Ever color Poreless Face Defender

Mally Beauty Ever color Poreless Face Defender

The face defender by Mally was made originally for miss Beyoncé. It does not leave an ashy look like some finishing powders. Having pale/oily skin not only finding the right color but one that gives a matte finish is very hard. with the face defender I no longer have to worry. A couple weeks ago I wore my face defender on a 10 hour shift where I was running around like a mad woman. Due to sensitive/oily skin my makeup tends to move causing it to come off. Wearing my face defender I looked like I had just put my makeup on by 6 that afternoon. It’s velvet feel also gives off a beautiful matte finish. This can also go under makeup acting as a primer for a more clean application.

So no matter skin type, color, or even what makeup you use, try Mally Beauty’s Evercolor Poreless Face Defender invisible powder. Now your look will definitely be “bulletproof”. Oh did I mention that even men can use this product?

For more information on how you to can get your very own Face Defender check out MallyBeauty.com, check out QVC.com or find it at your local Ulta!

You don’t need the beach to get beach waves

Beach days may be almost over but that doesn’t mean your beach hair and gorgeous waves need to stop! See how you can get messy, beachy waves with this easy tutorial using a flat iron!

Kate Hudson

Step 1: Begin by brushing hair with the John Frieda by Conair Sleek Finish Cushion Brush to remove knots and avoid any pulling.

Step 2: Next, spray hair with a heat protectant and heat activated styling spray, such as KMS California FREESHAPE 2-in-1 styling + finishing spray. Than separate the top sections of your hair from the bottom with clips. Curl the bottom layers first and work your way up. Start with a one-inch section of your hair.

Step 3: Use a 1-inch straightening iron. I suggest John Frieda by Conair Sleek Finish 1” Flat Iron. Starting a few inches from the roots, curl the iron away from your face. Hold the straightener with your wrist and your hand facing towards you and twist away from your face in a clockwise motion.

Step 4: Keep turning the iron as you approach the end of your hair and always keep it moving. If you stay too long in one spot you may create dents in the hair.

Step 5: Slowly release the clamp as you get close to the ends for a more modern look. To keep the look wavy instead of too curly, leave the ends out. Finish the look with a medium hold hairspray such as, Philip B. Jet Set Precision Control Hairspray, to increase volume while still allowing movement.

Lauren B Beauty Nail Couture introduces 8 NEW Fall Colors that are Perfect for Back to School

unnamed-2

Inspired by Los Angeles, each shade offers a compelling departure from the standard. For fall, her discerning eye landed on a range of influences, which she’s recast in sexy jewel tones and rich earthy shades. A sunset viewed from the Griffith Park observatory reappears as a pink-rose-khaki polish. An iridescent, shell-white tone nods to Shutters on the Beach, Lauren’s favorite local hotel and spa. A deep iris purple plays off the energy of gardens in Hancock Park. And a shimmery violet pink repeats the shade of a treasure scored at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Bonus: Each polish is supremely eco-centric, fast-drying, and as glossy and long-wearing as a salon gel manicure!

DIY otf

Step ONE: Lay your Monogram Wood letter on a flat, clean surface. Optional: Paint or spray paint your Monogram letter the background color you like. It also looks beautiful to keep the natural wood color.

Step TWO: Take your artificial flower sprays and cut the flowers where they meet the stem. You can also use craft paper flowers, fabric flowers or other prepackaged flowers from your local craft store.

Step THREE: Arrange your cut flowers on your Monogram letter. Start with your larger flowers first and then use smaller flowers to fill in the gaps. When you have the basic placement of your flowers designed use your glue gun to glue your flowers in place.

Step FOUR: Cut two pieces of ribbon your desired length and tie a bow in the middle.

Step FIVE: Turn your completed Monogram letter over. Use your hot glue gun to glue each side of your ribbon down to create your hanger for your Monogram letter. Now all you need is a nail to place in the wall where you want to hang your beautiful Monogram Flower Nursery.
