Go Monochrome Makeup

Yesterday I received IsaDora's latest press releases "Go monochrome" and "Cover up" and both will be in store already now. IsaDora comes with so much news all the time that I do not have time to blog about one thing before the next comes, haha. But now I started with the newest first and am unusually early for once.

I will show the products a little closer in a separate post, I have taken swatch pictures and tested the "first impression" on all products as in this make-up I have actually used just about everything from the mailing! Fun right? :)

Hope you are inspired!

I have filmed this make-up as well, I filmed one eye and took photos step by step on the other, so today I have posted pictures of the other eye than I usually do. Did you think about that? I who am so used to taking pictures of everything in one eye think that the pictures look completely skewed and backwards when it is the other eye haha.

It remains to be seen if the film is useful, hope so! I'm testing the technology and see what works best, but it's not easy :)

Hope you all have a great Saturday! ♥min-webshop

Sneak peak at the new webshop!

You may think it's sad that the webshop is never updated purely in terms of design, but that's because we put all our energy into building the new website Creativemakeupcreativemakeup.se where the salon and webshop will be under one roof :)

And you know what, soon there will be a super short time left! We are working on the final finishing touches now, which is also time consuming but it is starting to get closer to the final light in any case!

So that you do not get tired of how long it takes for us, I thought I would offer a small, small peek:

Of course it will be nice! The new webshop is much more well-crafted and will also have beauty guides and lots of inspiration!

What do you think? Do you long too? :) ♥

Brighten up autumn with color!

We are starting to move towards gloomy, cold times and then it is extra important to liven up life with a little color :)

I am often asked how I make eyeliner with wings with eyeliner pencils of various kinds and in connection with this make-up, I have actually also made a film on how I do! So it's coming soon, has already started editing it so in just a few days it's coming.

Do not forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel if you want to see movies before they are published in posts here in the blog!

Anyway, here's today's makeup:

Perfect Pink Lipstick - Green Lipstick!

Santhilea - the brand of our best-selling mascara Magnetic Lash, has only had mascara in the range and has now expanded with the perfect pink lipstick. Unlike many brands that focus on all products in makeup, Santhilea has put all the gunpowder on a single product - the perfect mascara. You can read my post about the mascara here.

The mascara has become a success, which was the start of their next mission - the perfect pink lipstick!

When I first heard that they would launch lipsticks, I first thought it sounded a bit sad, when their mascara is so innovative and special, a series of lipsticks felt a little too normal. I talked to Santhilea myself about 2 years ago when they were going to start with this and it has really taken a long time for development. BUT Santhilea also managed to amaze me when I got the details at the launch, it's not about a series of lipsticks but about a single lipstick! :) Real Rebel - Color Perfect.

Check out the color of this:

real rebel lipstick

GREEN! Whaaaaat… green not many people will want it, was my first thought before I read on.

So corner, so this is a green lipstick that will be the perfect tone for your lips! It is green in the sleeve, but on the lips it will be a reddish-pink tone and it will be different on everyone!

I have tested the perfect pink lipstick on a lot of people now, and on almost everyone the tone goes in the pink direction but it can really differ a lot from person to person, so fun :) I personally get very pink lips, more than most because I have my lip tattoo underneath too.

How does a green lipstick work?

It was a mixture of ecstasy, shock and many skeptical thoughts when I tested the lipstick for the first time, before I read about it to know how it really works. The packaging says "works with your own body chemistry", but I have received a more detailed answer from Santhilea and now thought to explain to you in detail how the perfect pink lipstick works :)

It is not just an ingredient, but a combination of factors such as pH value, heat and blue and yellow pigments that highlight your natural lip color and make it more intense and clear.

  1. The pH value on the skin gives the lipstick a clear color
  2. Blue & yellow pigment (together green) dulls the red and orange tones of the lip for a deeper shade.
  3. The waxes in the lipstick reacts with heat and makes the pigments gradually stronger, which makes the lipstick last longer.
  4. Thin formula which does not completely cover but lets your natural lip color shine through.

How did the idea come about?

The design came in the search for the perfect, natural lip shade that stays on the lips and is caring.

Formula

The perfect lipstick not only gives a nice color but is also incredibly caring for the lips. Contains shea butter, vitamin E, beeswax and jojoba oil. It is creamy and incredibly soft and smooth. The first thing basically everyone says when you apply it is "it feels very nice".

Color

The color is different on different people, and even though lip colors are a matter of taste, I experience that everyone is very happy with the tone! The perfect pink lipsticks have gone like butter at the salon / at our customer event when people get to see how nice color the lips get. And although we took home many in the first order, we had to order more before we even had time to launch in the webshop.

Use & results

Apply a thin layer on the lips, and immediately a nice tone starts to creep up and after about 1 minute you have a perfect color on the lips.

sustainability

Of creamy lipsticks, this is without a doubt the one I have tested that fits best on the lips! If you compare creamy with matt, matt always wins in durability, but this may be the exception that competes with the matt products. I tested it on a customer around 12 o'clock at the salon, and after a week or so she bought it and said "it stayed until I went to bed!".

As I said, the durability is better thanks to the formula reacting to heat, so when some of the cream disappears during the day, the pigment also becomes more colorful, which compensates.

In addition, I experience that the pigment adheres a little to the skin, so I who do not usually have to think about scrubbing extra on the lips when I wash my face saw that the cotton with the toner turned a little pink when I pulled it over the lips, because even though I had washed off the makeup so there was still pink pigment left!

As I said, I get a very bright pink color that I love! But I am "collecting photos" on different lips with the lipstick and I will soon show a collage with how different it can look :)

For now, I can recommend this article from Cosmopolitan, where they have taken before and after pictures of 10 lips!

Nice huh? Glossy and nice! I have applied quite a lot here, but you can also apply a thinner layer for a milder, duller effect. Or apply and "bite off" on a piece of paper.

Behind the scenes - Ida's first apprenticeship treatment!

Ida, who works as a makeup artist at the salon, has not only worked with make-up before, but has for a long time also been an assistant nurse and worked with tattooing nipples on patients.

And now she will also become an apprentice with Annika! :)

She is still in the first stage and has not really started to take clients yet, but since she already knows both makeup and tattooing, it will come so super fast. She has tried to tattoo my lips a little, but last week she did her very first make-up tattoo all by herself on my sister Mia! And you notice that she is not a complete beginner, I had never gotten started so fast! I documented a bit with my film camera in the meantime which you can watch if you are interested in how to get your lips tattooed:

Ida will, as soon as she gets a little warmer in her clothes, offer permanent makeup for apprenticeship prices! Annika is then available during the treatment and you have the same guarantees as when you go to Annika and Amir, but the treatment can take a little longer.

I have not met Mia since the crust from her lips released, but she has sent some pictures on Snapchat and it looks incredibly nice! Will return with pictures of the healing later as well, what you see immediately after will be a bit "just-lip-look" but it will be, as I explain in the video, a toned soft contour in the end :)

Get in touch if you have any questions, or want to sign up for Ida's interest list for apprenticeship treatments, and we will get in touch when she starts to set times for it.
