What’s All The Rave About?
Skindinavia’s makeup finish is turning heads and holding makeup from Los Angeles to New York and beyond. Here’s what we’ve heard about how our makeup finish keeps makeup freshly applied in even the most extreme conditions.
A Glamour Girl Gives Skindinavia a Go!
The life of a beauty writer can be a bit hectic. You’re rushing through the streets of Manhattan with your cell phone crammed between your shoulder and ear, laptop bag in one hand with dinner in the other, and your purse over your shoulder. It’s windy, it’s rush hour, and you’re late for an event.
Your watch shows that it’s 5:30PM, you’ve been up since 6AM, and it feels like your day is just starting. Late night events stacked on top of early morning fact checking can create a bit of a time crunch. Have time to stop and do a quick makeup check and re-touch? Yeah right!
This isn’t just the lifestyle of a professional woman in Manhattan. Millions of women world wide experience this on a daily basis in one form or another.
And it’s the kind of lifestyle where you’re about to read a real life under fire review from Amy Pomerantz at Glamour.com. And not only did she keep her makeup fresh all day with our makeup finish, she actually – well, we’ll let her tell you. This one really showed us how effective our makeup finish can be. And it put a smile on our faces.
“Enter Skindinavia, a line of finishing sprays that prevents makeup from smudging or fading a full 16 hours—something celebs are totally swooning over. I gave it a good test run last week by sleeping in my makeup after the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards—it’s gross, I know, but you have to admit, it’s a heck of a stay-put makeup challenge.
I’m happy to say that I woke up looking just as fresh as when I went to bed the night before. Celeb makeup artist Cynde Watson (Lauren Conrad is one of her clients) loves it too…it keeps the skin at a temperature cool enough to keep your makeup in place. Still not convinced? They use this product on the Project Runway set so the models’ makeup never gets aufed halfway through the scene!”
Filthy Gorgeous Makeup That Lasts
Here’s a great video from one of our favorite Beauty YouTubers. She’s an authority on some of the best makeup tips and has some great things to share.
Working Wonders In The Frigid Cold!
More and more beauty enthusiasts are realizing that Skindinavia does a lot more than just cool your makeup. It’s not just a summer product!
Ma Petite Chou experienced the best of what Skindinavia can do for your makeup. Even in the cold!
Here’s what she has to say about Skindinavia’s 10 Years Younger.
“It keeps makeup hydrated and out of wrinkles. This is like an anti-aging product for your makeup. I tried it shopping during the day when I was walking outside quite a bit in the cold with wind blowing at my face. Canadian winter is brutal, being outside for a mere 5 minutes and you feel all the moisture in your skin is stripped away. You know that “cracked” look when the skin around your eyes is so dry, when you smile or squint, the skin looks cracked especially if you have concealer on? This makeup finish kept my concealer looking dewy and fresh! No flakiness.”
How To Stop Makeup From Creasing In The Cold
Mami’s Time Out is a beauty blog that reviews beauty and fitness products with a focus on Latina readers. They had a chance to put Skindinavia to the test in the cold to see if we could help prevent their makeup from creasing. Here is the verdict!
“As the weather gets cooler and dryer, women with dry skin especially have problems with their makeup creasing. Even with my oily skin, I still have the creasing problem. I tried it after applying my makeup and it helped my makeup last all day!”
Could A Couple Hundred Beauty Enthusiasts Be Wrong?
MakeupAlley.com was launched in 1999 as an impartial cosmetics review site. To this day it is frequented in droves by beauty professionals and aficionados alike. They are some of the toughest customers to impress, yet Skindinavia enjoys rave review after rave review on a consistent basis.
There are far too many testimonials from MakeupAlley.com to list here on this page, but we included a few of our favorites. You can click here to see a very long list of satisfied Skindinavia customers beyond what is listed here.
“This product is the first Holy Grail product I’ve ever had! I love it because it simply does what it says – it keeps my makeup in place all day.”
“I spray this a couple of times to set my foundation. I just can’t get over how much better my face looks throughout the day!”
“This is an awesome product. Spray it over your makeup, and it keeps everything in place for hours.”
“I love this stuff. I have an eye shadow that I adore but it has a tendency to disappear after 2 hours. When I spray this on after applying my makeup, the eye shadow color is as vibrant as when I put it on in the morning. “This product actually does what it promises. It sets the makeup in place all day.”
“I decided to use this product for a month before reviewing it, just to be fair. It has truly earned 5 stars in my book. This is simple to use, you simply mist it over your makeup to set it. This truly does help to slow down, or even stop the makeup sliding off the face problem.”
A Hidden Treasure That Makes Makeup Last
Imagine you’re a professional dancer in Las Vegas. You’re a lead performer in a famous production that runs several times a day at the Treasure Island Resort and Casino. Your routines are intense and non stop. Each performance is outside in 100+ degree weather and the show includes an incredible pyro-techniques display.
You can feel your body pulsating with the music, the heat on your skin, the energy of the crowd, your adrenaline pumping….and your makeup running down your face.
That was the reality for Tara Taylor several times a night.
Here’s Tara’s story about how she found a friend for her makeup in Skindinavia’s Dance! Makeup Finish.
“I perform in a Las Vegas show on the strip that happens to be outside, so during the summer we are battling temperature into the hundreds. Needless to say, there is lots of sweating going on so I am constantly reapplying makeup throughout the night. Doing four shows a night I end up with layers of makeup on my face. I started using the product in July in the dead of summer and was amazed at the longevity it gave my makeup. Through the heat and sweat it helped to keep my makeup on and fresh.”
Beauty Aficionado Get’s A Surprise
It’s great to hear from professional dancers and beauty editors about new products that work wonders. But how about the very tough to please beauty aficionado?
Many of them have tried so many products that even some of the more impressive lines in the eyes of your average consumer can leave them yawning. That’s what Kristopher Dukes, a hard core beauty lover, was expecting from Skindinavia. Fortunately, she got a very pleasant surprise.
“…I thought a makeup finish spray by Skindinavia would be fun to try, but hardly impressive. Wrong. The makeup finish spray made my face last more than 24 hours — it slept perfectly through pillow play, so I could get up early and start sweating…”
Splendicity Tells Us How To Keep Makeup Fresh All Day!
Skindinavia was put to the test by a writer for the well known women’s blog Splendicity.com.
All too often our friends with oily skin are relegated to carrying blotting papers to pat down their face to prevent excess oil from ruining their makeup and making them shine. It may have been an ok solution, but even the blotting can tend to wear away makeup. And who wants to walk around worrying about dabbing their t-zone anyway?!
Kelli DesRochers experienced first hand how Skindinavia’s No More Shine Makeup Finish helps women with oily and combination skin keep their t-zone de-slicked all day while keeping their makeup fresh!
“The Skindinavia No More Shine Makeup Finish is my favorite product that I had the opportunity to try! One of the reasons I have avoided wearing makeup during the day is because I hate that I get shiny after a few hours. The No More Shine Makeup Finish is designed specifically for oily and combination skin that is prone to shininess.
It is a weightless mist that you spray on your skin and let dry before you apply your base makeup layer. It moisturizes to prevent the makeup from drying out your skin, which causes oiliness. I just spritz a little on my skin after washing and it worked great.”
No Reaction For This Sensitive Skin Type!
Sometimes women are concerned that a new product may irritate their skin or break out. This is a valid concern. But Skindinavia’s formulation is safe for all skin types and has been extensively tested.
The Makeup Blogger is a celebrity makeup artist who comes across dozens of new products on a daily basis. She is also someone who experienced reactions from products in the past. Here is her experience with Skindinavia.
“How do you keep your makeup clean, dewy, and picture perfect all day and into the night? The answer is easier than you think.
For the past month I have been using Skindinavia makeup finishing spray, and I am incredibly impressed. I was introduced to them afew months ago, and had put it aside because I was afraid of my skins reaction. I have had some very bad reactions to makeup sprays in the past (itchy skin, burning eyes, flaky makeup), but I have had none of that with this spray.
This makeup spray makes my makeup stay on all day, look dewy, and keeps the oil at bay.”
How To Stop Makeup From Fading
We always love to hear about a raving fan. Teri Cosenzi is the founder and editor and chief of Beautiful Makeup Search. She regularly reviews cosmetics for the benefit of her readers and gives her unbiased review. Here is what she had to say about Skindinavia’s 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish.
“You will not believe how amazing these are, until you try one for yourself. I am addicted to the 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish. Does it really make me look 10 years younger? No. But it keeps my makeup from settling into my lines as the day rolls on.
It keeps my skin from becoming dulled down as the day goes on and my makeup looks fresh and just applied all day. Really! After misting 2 or 3 mists of this finish, my face glows, but not in a sparkly or over the top way. It gives me a glow that I had 10 years ago, and that is the genius about it.”
AOL That’s Fit Says It Works!
That’s Fit is an AOL owned website that provides information on fitness, diet, success & motivation, and more. Kristen Seymour is a fitness and beauty product reviewer for That’s Fit. She recently gave Skindinavia a try, and here’s what she had to say.
“After applying my makeup, I sprayed my face three or four times with a sample of Skindinavia and waited a few seconds for it to dry, after which … well, my makeup looked like it was supposed to look. And, it continued to look just like that all day. To be fair, I don’t have terribly dry skin, but even my problem areas (notably, my nose) looked great. And, one of my biggest issues is the creasing of my eyeshadow — this was taken care of, too.
Now, this product alone isn’t going to solve all your skin woes, but using it in conjunction with a good moisturizer will help to keep your face looking fabulous all winter long. If you’re facing a long day, pop it in your purse so you can freshen up once or twice — you’ll be surprised at how few actual makeup touch-ups are required!”
