This week has been the most educational week in a long time because Annika and I have been to a permanent makeup conference in Milan!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Biotek Worldwide Event 2018<\/strong>
\nIt was the big brand Biotek that organized the fair and it was people from all over the world who traveled there. I love learning new things, even if I do not tattoo myself, it is important for me to know as much as possible about permanent makeup because I am a partner and am responsible for much of the marketing.<\/p>\n

Above all, it's a great inspiration - whether we're talking about make-up or a tattoo! :)<\/p>\n

I have to admit that it itched my fingers a bit and I thought the thought several times "maybe I should start tattooing myself too" but if you want to be good, it really requires 100% commitment - and I do not have to put that in just one area. BUT I know so much about permanent makeup that I have to try making an eyebrow on a fake skin at some point, have unreasonably good self-confidence about how beautiful it would be already on the first try (humble I know) and have even dreamed that I tattooed the eyebrows on James Blunt haha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Biotek is a brand from Italy and Annika uses some of their colors but also some other brands. It's like with make-up - you find your favorites!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was an incredibly upset fair \/ conference! It all started with a gala dinner and the next few days there were lectures on a conveyor belt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many of my pictures are taken on the big screen because there were 500 people there (if I remember correctly) so it would have been impossible to see if they were not filming at the same time.<\/p>\n

Here above you see when they show how the production of permanent makeup colors goes. They have their own lab and manufacture all colors in their factory. All colors consist of different pigments (eg yellow, red and black to get different shades of brown) and among other things they have an advanced machine that combines the color pigments into one and the same molecule - which is great because otherwise the colors can fade different fast. For example. There are many customers who in other salons get very red eyebrows after a year or so, and that is because then mostly only the red pigments are left. But that does not happen with our colors.<\/p>\n

Biotech is also very careful that the colors are healthy for the body, not absorbed into the lymphatic system and things like that. So the founder of Biotek demonstrated this by mixing lots of permanent makeup paint in a glass of water and drank everything on stage haha! So sure you can drink it :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Biotek has launched a special needle for lip tattoo that should be super good and showed a live demo of lip tattoo with that needle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You could even put on a mouth guard and go into a room where lots of talented permanent makeup artists tattooed live. Everything from lips to eyebrows, smoky eyeliner and scalp tattoo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most fun was seeing all the tips, step by step and live eyebrow tattoos! There are so many different techniques for how to place the straws, draw the shape, etc. so it will never be boring to hear a new lecturer.<\/p>\n

The only thing I'm a little "against" are people who just go after one<\/em> template, I usually find it visible on permanent makeup artists who do the same brow on everyone. The best thing in my opinion is to follow the person's own hair growth as much as possible, fill in more where it is missing and also do in the same direction as the strands grow :) A whole science indeed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We got to see sooty eyeliner live too, it's so much fun with people who want to make a lot of eyeliner! The most common is to do more naturally otherwise.<\/p>\n

I was asked (and almost tried to persuade) to be a model for smoky eyeliner there haha, but I can not have so much permanent makeup because I blog about makeup. It's hard to have to remove makeup every time I do a look without eyeliner, in addition I can not test makeup eyeliners in the same way if I already have a black eyeliner underneath. So I had to kindly decline :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You were completely exhausted after every day because there was translation into English in headphones when they spoke other languages, so you really had to make an effort to hear what was said in the headphones because there was such an extremely high sound level in the speakers from the microphone so it still overheard as well as.<\/p>\n

At one point, the interpreter in the headphones could not translate the language that the lecturer spoke, so first a person translated into Italian and then English came into the headphones. So there were 3 different languages spoken at the same time haha. You were completely dizzy after that!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the breaks, they had some exhibition stands, among other things, you could look at all the shades of their permanent makeup colors!<\/p>\n

Annika was also very happy with the trip so it was really successful :) We had time for a few hours on the last day but otherwise it was 100% business trip. But I really want to go back to Italy and travel around more sometime.<\/p>\n

Home sweet home<\/strong>
\nOnce we got home, it was mostly customers, reception jobs, computer jobs and individual staff calls (which we try to have every \/ every other month) that were on the agenda. So nothing that I directly have pictures of. But it has been full!<\/p>\n

But I have a lot to catch up on and have therefore worked to catch up in the evenings (last Friday, for example, I worked at home in bed until midnight), which has not been completely uncomplicated with a cuddly kiss miss that has missed me for several days;)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So here I am editing a picture and scrolling on the computer, yet she is lying straight on my hand completely undisturbed :) A determined little lady this!<\/p>\n

Incidentally, it was crazy disturbing with the particular post I was working on in the picture above, because I reviewed a bronzer that I got a press sample of very recently and so just when I was done and would link "buy this" I saw that it certainly was Limited Edition and sold out just about everywhere. Jahaja that was the wasted time :) So it can go!<\/p>\n

I have a lot of energy and inspiration after this week, I feel! So nice! Such a period where I listen a lot to podcasts with successful people and can take all the tips with me. Powerful is the word!<\/p>\n

Next week I will probably get lots done I feel :)<\/p>\n

Have a nice Sunday! \u2665<\/p>\n
