Red in the face? - Redness Relief Powder

I'm totally addicted to this powder! If you have a pimple or similar, a concealer is great, but when you are red in the face or smaller areas, it is gloMinerals Redness Relief Powder the world's best :)

Red in the face? Best tip!

I am always quite red and flaming around the nose, but took the opportunity to take photos immediately after I had a fight with a pimple also to show you how big the difference really is :)

You can use the powder like this directly on an unmade-up face, but I personally do not usually start like that but did it now to show you how effective the powder is!

What is gloMinerals Redness Relief Powder?
A loose powder based on minerals that both reduces superficial red areas on the skin, and goes into the skin and soothes skin conditions such as rosacea, visible blood vessels or redness due to too much sun.

It is thus both a cosmetic product because the tone of the powder neutralizes red, at the same time as it helps the skin in depth also thanks to, among other things, honeysuckle, zinc oxide, licorice and caffeine which soothes the skin and tightens blood vessels. The powder also contains aloe vera, green tea, vitamin A and sunflower oil which nourishes the skin.

What skin types is it suitable for?
The powder is suitable for all skin types, both the oily one with acne problems and the very sensitive one.

Should you have it before or after foundation?
There are different ways to use the powder, if you want to be unmade up, it is enough to dab the powder on desired areas and then do nothing more. But you can also choose whether you want it before or after foundation.

Since it is also a skin care product, if you have areas where you are very red, you can apply a lot of powder right there and walk around for about 5 minutes before putting on make-up, to let the powder work properly. Then you can brush off excess and put on make-up as usual. If you have a liquid foundation, it also works well without becoming sticky or cakey.

You are a little nice then :) But the effects from the powder go through your regular makeup as well (as long as you use makeup that does not clog the pores) so you do not have to use it before foundation to get the positive properties. But you get extra from them if you do it this way.

I can experience that it feels a little dry on the face if you have the powder first, not that it looks dry out but it feels a little wrong to start putting on make-up when you feel dry. So I usually first apply a thin layer of foundation (either mineral foundation or liquid) and then use as much powder as needed afterwards.

Application
If you have a lot of red areas, you can advantageously apply quite a lot and "pack on" the powder there, and then brush off the excess.

In the pre-image I have applied Pixi H2O Skintint which is a semi-opaque foundation gel, it evens out the skin tone very well but red blemishes and my red nose part wants to shine through. I have not used the powder before the foundation in this picture.
In the after picture I have swept the neutralizing powder all over my face with a fluffy brush, and then dabbed on more powder on the areas that are extra red with a slightly more compact brush.

Does the powder look yellow on a light skin tone?
You do not look yellow from the powder in areas where you are not red (but can get a slightly warmer tone if you have a cold skin tone) and therefore you can also use it for preventive purposes, if you e.g. has easy to blush or the like.

Is the powder debilitating?
The powder is debilitating to some extent, but is not designed for just that purpose. I usually use it solely for the purpose of getting rid of redness, so I use:
1. Face primer
2. Foundation
Powder that neutralizes red
4. Makeup Fixing Mist
5. And then I sweep on a little debilitating powder, so that it is the last step.

You can use the powder to fix the foundation, but I would not recommend it if you have a very sticky foundation. It is not as light as a regular powder but a little more pigment-rich.

On the other hand, it can be good to improve on this powder after about 5-8 hours, because then the licorice and caffeine stop working in the skin. If you want that effect a little longer, you can have the powder in the bag. However, I think that the powder itself is so neutralizing that I never feel that I need to improve for that reason :)

The end result is an even and nice base, without having to have so much opaque makeup!

Because it's so with just redness, even if you have a full-coverage foundation, it wants to shine through, but it feels so damn sad to have to have the worst coverage in the whole face even though you are really only red. But then neutralizing products are great :)

The powder is on Lyko.se and costs SEK 450

Do you have any questions, or did I include everything? :) Just shout if you have any questions!

There were a lot of people competing in yesterday's Christmas calendar, fun! I guess many people are very curious about who is the lucky winner of the lashliner tattoo?

Congratulations, we say Stephanie Wesström! Email me at info@creativemakeup.se and we will write to you how you can book ♥

In today's slot you will find Paese's popular mascara Paese Adore 3D Lash Mascara! It only has 5-star reviews in the webshop and we have an enormous number of customers who buy it regularly, great fun :)

This is a 3 in 1 mascara that gives both length, separation and volume. The rubber brush separates the lashes, and the formula contains a specific powder which together with wax and a sugar substance gives a creamy and long-lasting consistency that gives both length and volume. Incredibly easy to work with and easy to wash off.

The ingredients are carefully selected to be allergy friendly.

The mascara contains 73% natural ingredients, including:
Bivax - A mild and natural wax that gives the mascara a creamy texture while being caring.
Karnaubavax - Natural wax from a tree that makes the lashes longer and fuller, and preserves the shape so that they stay curved all day.
Sunflower oil - Nutritious oil that nurtures and protects.
Root extract from Chicory (herb) - Gives lashes volume and fullness.
Tara gum (Caesalpinia spinosa) - Natural powder from a pea plant which together with the soft waxes gives the mascara a soft and non-sticky texture, which glides on the lashes and gives volume without creating lumps.

The mascara is on Byher.se, contains 12 ml (a lot compared to many mascaras) and costs SEK 179 :)

Make lashes grow - Beauty Lash eyelash serum

Now finally I will show you the before and after pictures after 7 weeks of using Beauty Lash! :)

What is Beauty Lash?
Beauty Lash is transparent and looks like water, and contains Black Sea Rod Oil which is found naturally in the coral Caribbean Coral Plexaura homomalla which extends the growth phase of the eyelashes and gives them strength and elasticity. The hair roots are stimulated and the eyelashes are activated to grow. After 6-8 weeks, you have longer and fuller eyelashes!

Use
You apply the serum on the lash line (skin, not the lashes) every night before going to bed, and after 6-8 weeks you see the end result. These pictures are after 7 weeks, could not stick to 8 haha!

Other brands
I have previously used Revitalash, which worked gallantly on me! Until they changed formula because it contained an ingredient that was classified as a medicine and not cosmetic in Europe. The new version did not give any results at all, and it was also significantly cheaper, which (often) indicates that it did not contain as good ingredients. And so I have tested Xlash as well, two or three times I have started, but get so irritated eyes from it that I have always stopped after a few days.

But then I talked to Annika (who also used lash serum since Revitalash existed) and after testing a lot, she fell head over heels for Beauty Lash, an eyelash serum from Refectocil which is the same brand that we dye lashes and eyebrows with. She never puts on make-up but only runs with serum, paint and permanent + tattoos, and every time you say that she is unmade up to customers who wonder what tattooed eyeliner looks like, they always say "but she has mascara", but she has never :)

Results
In addition to the lashes getting longer, I also think they feel stronger. And I have neglected a lot during these 7 weeks, I must also admit, but you should not do that, I would have lubricated every night + waited 8 weeks, maybe I would have gotten even better results. But I'm very happy now I have to say, they do not have to stay longer :)

Here is my result after 7 weeks:

When you look at the globe line and compare how far the straws extend over that line in the afterimage, you realize how much longer they really are :)

After 6-8 weeks
Then when you get the full length of the lashes, you do not need to lubricate as often, about 3 evenings a week Annika usually does and then they stay so nice all the time.

I would also recommend using Refectocil Long Lash Gel which is like a caring wrap for the lashes, it partly makes the lashes stronger, and just like well-groomed hair on the head, the color is much better after coloring if you have cared for hair. So this cream makes both lashes more well-groomed and makes lash colors last longer.

It can be used under mascara (or as a transparent mascara if you, like me, already have nice lashes but want to make them a little shiny). But I use it in the evening and sleep with it as a wrap.

Beauty Lash costs SEK 1295 and is available both in our store in Uppsala and at here. We have several regular customers who buy it regularly and get great results!

In this picture I am completely unmade up! And the nice result is a combo between:
♥ Beauty Lash which gives long eyelashes
♥ Permanent eyelash that makes them bend all the time
♥ Lash coloring that makes the lashes black
♥ Permanent makeup lashliner, which makes the lashes look dense and full
♥ Permanent makeup inliner, bright along the waterline that brightens up the eyes

Make-up for the Nobel party

It's always fun when customers are here and get ready before they go to festivities, it's a little special atmosphere when they go to something fun afterwards and you get to be a part of the preparations :)

And today we had a make-up customer who was going to something extra festive tonight - the Nobel party itself!

Sandra at our salon has done the make-up, and Jennie Ifren at Creative Zone has fixed her hair. Surely she became beautiful? :) She sits on the committee and will also sit on the stage at the party.

I should have told her to greet Victoria that she should book an eyebrow tattoo with Annika hihi. Do you not agree with me a little?

No, now I will stop chatting and hurry up with the job here, because soon I will make the return visit on my lip tattoo if everything goes as planned in the daily schedule. So my lip tattoo will be ready sometime :) And then I can not put on make-up or take so many pictures afterwards. But in the next blog post you will see my result before and after Beauty Lash!

Hugs are ♥
