Ida Warg Brown Without Sun (BUS) - Face & Body (Review)

Writer,

Mar 4, 2021

Now I have tested Ida Warg brown without sun, for both face and body. Here is my Ida Warg BUS review!

Jag vet inte om denna brun utan sol är “bäst i test” då jag inte testat andra/nya märken på länge, men jag recenserade massor av BUS-produkter för några år sedan och har även varit återförsäljare för ett märke. Så jag har ganska mycket erfarenhet ändå :)

An exciting news is tanning drops, it is brown without sun that is dropped into its night or day cream to get a sun-kissed result. More about it further down!

In this great review and guide I go through Ida Warg tan without sun and how to use it. You will also get answers to questions such as - How to get rid of tan without sun? How long does brown last without sun? & How to apply tan without sun?

Ida Warg brown without sun review

Ida Warg tan without sun is 100% vegan and cruely-free and made in Scandinavia. The BUS product series contains everything needed for both the face and the body to get a nice tan without a sun look. Ida Warg Beauty was started in 2018 by the influencer Ida Warg and in addition to BUS products also has skin care and hair care.

These products are included in this Ida Warg review!

How long does brown last without sun?

Usually stays brown without sun for about a week, but it gradually decreases daily. The durability mainly depends on how often you shower and if you scrub in the shower, the same applies to Ida Warg BUS products.

In order for tan without sun to last longer, some good tips are not to take long showers in too hot water, use a mild shower cream and soap with your hands, not scrubbing sponge.

How to apply tan without sun?

I apply BUS with Ida Warg tanning mitt, which is a brown without sun glove. But you can also apply tan without sun with your hands. I have seen someone who applied brown without sun with a sock, I think you need to have a very soft sock in such cases but have not tested myself :)

Below you see my tan without sun routine:

Tip! Feel free to moisturize the skin properly the days before / regularly, to have as few dry parts as possible.

Scrub the skin before tanning without sun? Yes or no?

Jag brukar vanligtvis exfoliera huden innan brun utan sol för att få en jämnare färg. Men kan man få längre hållbarhet på brun utan sol genom att inte skrubba huden innan? Enligt instruktionerna På Ida Warg BUS så ska man inte exfoliera huden innan – för då håller det längre. Varför? Det framgår inte, men jag hörde av mig och frågade! Svaret är att ju fler döda hudceller, desto mer färg. Det är ju rimligt. Sen varför mer färg betyder längre hållbarhet förstår jag fortfarande inte för de döda hudcellerna släpper väl “när dom ska” ändå.

But the product nerd Helena does not have to cave me down more than that;) I have exfoliated the skin a day before and then applied for a while after showering. It has worked great!

Moisturize before tanning without sun

It is good to lubricate dry areas with a moisturizing cream before, otherwise the mischief product may become more brown in that area. I myself have no dry areas (the girl with oily skin hehe) so can not comment on how it settles on dryness :)

Apply tan without sun, general tips:

Take a fair amount of tan without sun and apply an even layer all over the body. It should be enough to not risk a spotty result or that you miss areas, so do not skimp. But not thick either, because it should melt into the skin properly as if you lubricate yourself with a regular lotion.

I usually start with the legs and then work upwards, but it does not really matter how you do it, but it is good to be methodical so that you do not miss any area. A good idea is to finish with your arms and hands last.

You do the same regardless of whether you apply tan without sun with glove / mitten or with your hands.

Miska usually lubricates my back. But if you have a glove, it is easier to do on the back of yourself, because you can lay brown without the sun on the other side of the mittens and apply with the back of the hand.

Then avoid water for a certain period afterwards, exactly how long it stays on the product.

Apply tan without sun on the face

When I apply on the face, I usually avoid the area just around the eyes. Apply thinly on the cheekbones underneath so that there is a smooth transition to the skin around the eyes.

I, who naturally have a lot of redness around the nose, put a thinner layer there as well, otherwise it will be extra dark with the red color with brown without sun on.

I usually skip the ears too, actually. It is so difficult to get an even color on them, it is more visible that you have brown without sun if it is spotted, than if you happen to have a little pale ears.

Apply tan without sun under the arms

Since the armpits are an area with a lot of stress (hot, chapped and deodorant every day), I usually put a very thin layer there. Almost nothing, but still a bit for a nice transition.

It can dissolve and become spotty under the arms after 2-3 days. Then it's nicer to instead lay thin and try to get a smooth transition, I think.

Apply tan without sun on the hands and feet

Regardless of whether you apply tan without sun with your hands or with a glove, I usually think like this about hands and feet:

Avoid the palms
Apply sparingly on the top, so you get a smooth transition but not a super brown result.
Apply even more sparingly on and around the fingers and toes, because there it can easily become stained.

How to apply tan without sun on my hands:

If you are going to apply with brown without sun-glove / brown without sun-mitten:

Lubricate the arms last
Lubricate the arm that you do not have the glove on. On the underside of the arm, I lay sparingly on the wrist and rub up a little against the thumb and little finger for a smooth transition.
Apply sparingly but carefully on the back of the hand and between the fingers.
Let sink in for a few seconds only
Change hands, put brown without the sun glove on the already lubricated hand.
Do the same on the other hand

Clear!

If you are going to apply on the hands, without a glove:

Lubricate the arms last, wait to apply on the hands
Wash your hands (because you have a lot of tan without sun in your palms) gently without splashing on your body or rinsing too high on your arms
Take a small tan without sun on a cotton pad
Apply with the cotton pad sparingly but carefully on the back of the hand and between the fingers. On both hands.

Clear!

If you do not have a cotton pad or something similar you can use, you can do this routine but instead apply gently with just your fingertips. Then wipe your fingertips on a damp paper or damp towel that you are not afraid of.

How to get rid of tan without sun?

To get rid of BUS, I recommend a warm bath or a long hot shower to soften the skin and then scrub thoroughly with a sponge and for example Vitalizing enzyme body peel from Ida Warg (Shop here at Nordicfeel.se, adlink).

It does not help much to just scrub, but you need to warm up the skin properly. The more the better!

Ida Warg brown without sun face & body

Products I tested from Ida Warg brown without sun are tanning drops, self tanning body lotion, face lotion, self tanning mousse & their tanning mitt. There is also self tanning face & body spray, but I have not tested this (yet).

Ida Warg - Instant Self Tanning Mousse, 150ml

Price at time of writing: SEK 179 (link)

Product description:
“Den ofärgade brun-utan-sol moussen som ger ett vackert solkysst resultat på bara 3 timmar med hjälp av DHA, utvinns ur naturligt socker. Moussen är enkel att använda och perfekt för dig som vill ha enkel applicering och ett naturligt resultat. Perfume free, vegan & cruelty free. 150 ml ”

My review of this Ida Warg brown without sun:

Formula: Gillar att den är parfymfri! Många brun utan sol-produkter innehåller parfym för att täcka den typiska “brun utan sol-lukten” men den tränger alltid igenom ändå eftersom den kommer smygandes. Skummet är mjukt och trevligt.

Application: Very easy to apply! The foam sinks well into the skin and it is not at all difficult to work with. I have used gloves every use.

Immediately afterwards: The skin feels sticky a few hours after application. It goes over almost completely late, but absolutely noticeable in the beginning. After about 3 hours I started to see some difference, but after 12 hours I saw the end result. Showered only 24 hours afterwards, but you should avoid water for only 3 hours.

Brown without sun odor: That a brown without sun product does not smell brown without sun is a correct claim, even though you certainly smell brown without sun. Because it is not the product that smells, but your skin! So I smelled absolutely clear of tan without sun :) But there are some mischievous products that make me smell much worse. So it still gives a thumbs up here.

Results: Smooth and nice everywhere! Also on hands and feet :) One of the uses I missed a spot at the wrist, but it was the last body part so was probably just carelessness on my part. Put a little on the stain the next day and then it disappeared completely!

Sustainability: Lite av färgen försvann efter första duschen, men det var knappt märkbart. Jag la lika mycket i armhålorna som på resten av kroppen (för att se hållbarheten) och två dagar senare hade det “creasat” och lagt sig i vecken i armhålorna. Duschade då för andra gången och skrubbade lite så blev det ändå ganska jämnt. Jag applicerade en måndag och det sista försvann när jag skrubbade mig tisdagen veckan efteråt. Förutom armhålorna så har det försvunnit på ett jämnt och fint sätt över hela kroppen!

Ida Warg brown without sun before & after:

Here is the result of the very first time I tested Ida Warg BUS! I applied both on the face and on the body. How nice! Smooth and really nice tan. I'm very pleased!

Photographed my legs with my mobile because it was difficult in my photo studio which is built for portraits :)

Nice result huh? These sprouts long for summer and shorts now you can say;)

Bruising on the shin, eczema (or reached?) Under the knee and the scars on the thighs come from all the cats I had in my lap in my days haha. You see I'm alive, haha!

Here is the area I forgot to lubricate haha! The model was photographed the next day, then I put some new tan without sun on the area. The afterimage was taken the day after that! It looks a bit uneven in the picture (?) But in reality it was completely even! Like I've never had a stain. Trolleri :)

Ida Warg - Tanning Drops, 45ml

Price at time of writing: SEK 179 (link)

Product description:
“Tanning drops that are easily mixed with your favorite night and day cream for a gradual sun-kissed result. You can choose results depending on how many drops you mix with the face cream. Perfume free, vegan & cruelty free. ”

My review of this Ida Warg brown without sun:

Formula: Nice gel that sinks well into the skin! I have used two drops with a silicone-free serum (Ida Warg Beauty recommends silicone-free day / night cream for this) which I then mix in the palm of my hand. Does not feel sticky, greasy or anything. Great!

Application: I mix 2 drops if I just need to improve my face. Have tested 3 drops but it gets a little too much for me. If, on the other hand, I also need to improve the burn in the décolleté, I have taken a little more serum, three drops of these tanning drops and then lubricated both face and décolleté. Gets even and nice without any sharp or flammable edges, even though I did in only selected areas :)

Results: I have not photographed the result because it is a bit gradual. But I have received an even tone every application and two drops give a mild result that is good enough for me.

Sustainability: Disappears in a discreet and even way, I apply twice a week type.

Like a lot !!

Here I have used this on the face, two drops, the day before!

Ida Warg - Self Tanning Body Lotion, 200ml

Price at time of writing: SEK 179 (link)

Product description:
“Färgfri brun utan sol-lotion för hela kroppen. Krämen har en återfuktande effekt samtidigt som den ger huden en fin och lystergivande solkysst look efter tre timmar. Parfymfri, vegansk & cruelty free. 200ml”

My review of this Ida Warg brown without sun:

Formula: En doftfri gel-kräm som sjunker in snabbt i huden. Mycket trevlig formula! Någonting fick mig att tro att den inte skulle ge så mycket färg, eftersom den passar för att “bli gradvis brunare för varje applicering”. Men det betyder inte att den är jättemild i färgen :)

Application: Be as careful as when applying regular tan without sun, as it gives quite a lot of color. I prefer to apply this with a glove as well, but it goes with the hands if you prefer.

Immediately afterwards: It sinks quickly into the skin and then it does not feel, so nice not to be sticky afterwards! Avoid water for 3 hours, after 3 hours you start to see the color coming. After 12 hours I saw the end result.

Brown without sun odor: Because it gives a milder color than the mousse, the skin also smells a little less, but still has a hint of brown without a sun smell. But not so much that it bothers me, otherwise I am very sensitive to that smell.

Results: Första användningen: Eftersom jag trodde det va en “lätt lotion” så smorde jag första gången in denna med händerna och va inte jätteslarvig men absolut inte lika noggrann som med moussen. Blev då otroligt fläckig, haha! Resterande gånger har jag använt handske och var lika noggrann som med moussen. Då blir det jämnt över hela kroppen :)

Jag har även testat två lager av denna (applicerade två dagar efter första lagret) och det blev jättefint! Har även testat att bättra på på “utvalda områden” t.ex. försvann det snabbare på smalbenen eftersom jag rakade dom. Det gick bra det också, smälte in fint i den tidigare brännan.

Sustainability: Den försvinner lättare när man tvättar händer och ansikte, än moussen, tycker jag. Man blir liksom lite blek i ansiktet och händerna och på händerna blir det då en liten “kant” i färgen. Förutom det försvinner den jämnt och fint på mig! Man ska dock vara försiktig i duschen, har märkt att om jag råkar dra med en nagel på den blöta, varma huden i duschen så blir det ett svagt streck i brännan efteråt. Men den håller länge innan den försvinner helt, på mig håller den i ca 8 dagar.

Ida Warg - Self-Tanning Face Lotion, 50ml

Price at the time of writing: SEK 175 (link)

Product description:
“Den ofärgade formulan i Self-Tanning Face Lotion är speciellt framtagen för att passa den känsliga huden i ansiktet. Mjukgör huden och ger ditt ansikte en fräsch och solkysst look året runt med ett hälsosamt glow! Parfymfri, vegansk & cruelty free. 50 ml”

My review of this Ida Warg brown without sun:

I actually notice no difference between this and that for the body, the same color and the same gel-consistent :)

The result was thus also the same as the body: Mottled the first time when I was careless haha, and then smooth and very nice when I did properly the second time!

Did not take before and after pictures of this (you saw my pale natural skin in the pictures before). Here is at least the result with these! Milder but still a very clear color!

Ida Warg - Tanning Mitt

Price at time of writing: SEK 49 (link)

I've actually been stupid and never bought a tan without a sun glove before, so this is the first time I use it and do not understand that I have not done it before! It's so smooth! Buy!! This is soft and great, no weirdness! :) Nice to protect your hands during application as well.

Easy to wash by hand in the sink (note not immediately afterwards, then you should avoid water), dries quickly and is then as nice as before.

Summary - BUS review

Which one is best? Ida Warg Self-Tanning Mousse or Self-Tanning Lotion?

There are both pros and cons here in my opinion! But in short, I can say that I like both very much and will use up all products, they all measure up! Should also add that I have quite a hard time for tan without sun otherwise, I am picky. So a positive review on a prank product by me is not easy to get :)

The lotion feels nothing immediately afterwards, while the mousse is sticky on the skin for a while.
The mousse is more easily applied. The lotion is not difficult either, but not as simple as the mousse which is more fluffy and soft to spread. Unlike a click gel.
The lotion gives a milder result (but still visible) which is enough for me. The mousse gives greater results after just one application.
Brown without the sun mousse is easier to get even, it gets really flawless-even on me! Unlike the lotion where there have sometimes been some shifts in the tone, even though I was very careful. Not spotty then, but not as even as the mousse.
The mousse disappears in a slightly nicer way (except in the armpits, but there you can apply thinner layers). The mousse disappears more gradually and evenly everywhere, while the lotion needs to be improved during the week on the face and hands.

Vilken “Ida Warg brun utan sol” tycker jag mest om?

Summa summarum mousse is more easily applied and even, and gives a browner result both immediately afterwards and during the week afterwards.

But I value the feeling after application very highly, that the lotion sinks into the skin immediately if you do not feel a bit sticky. The lotion tone is also a little milder, which suits my winter pale skin better. So even though I give the mousse more benefits, I still think that I myself will buy the lotion in the future :)

I have been using the products for several weeks now and so my favorite combo is Ida Warg Self-Tanning Body Lotion together with the drops Ida Warg Tanning Drops to the face. I improve on these two when needed, sometimes in selected areas and at about a week intervals I run the whole body.

But I think that every single Ida Warg tan without sun product is very good !! :)

Hope you liked my Ida Warg brown without sun review and that you like the product as much as I do! Perfect to liven up winter pale skin, especially now when you do not go abroad in the same way as before.

No makeup makeup look (Tutorial & Step by step)

Writer,

Mar 1, 2021

Här kommer en “no makeup makeup look” som jag inte fotade tutorial på för den är så enkel ändå, men jag har en steg för steg-beskrivning i texten samt före- och efterbilder!

When I put on make-up (usually) I always, always, always have foundation. But now I have smeared myself with brown without sun and then suddenly feel that it is enough to just conjure away a little redness! Need no makeup at all to still feel fixed :)

Starting position / preparations:

Permanent makeup: Tattooed thin black eyeliner, light inliner along the waterline, 3D eyebrows and lip tattoo + highlighter around the lips.
Brown without sun
Slept in braids (+ dry shampoo on the scalp)

After these pictures were taken, I also colored the lashes on myself, so now the result is even better than what you see :)

Step by step, no makeup makeup look:

Dutta powder glo Skin Beauty Redness Relief powder on red areas (mostly around the nose and mouth + on pimples). So not in the whole face.
Light contouring & a little light highlighter under the eyes to liven things up, Contouring Palette (no.2)
Swipe on a little blush, glo Skin Beauty Blush (Papaya)
Brown eye shadow as eyebrow shadow + a little fake beauty spots on the face, Paese Kashmir Eyeshadow (664)
Bryngel, Refectocil Styling Gel
Thin layer of lipstick, Paese Argan Oil Lipstick (36)
Bend the eyelashes (uncolored in the pictures, but recommend coloring before for more effect)

Clear!

Simple as that! En naturlig sminkning en “no makeup makeup look” som bokstavligen tar nån minut att göra (om man gjort förberedelserna innan).

Hugs are!

Feb 14, 2021

Hello hello everyone! :)

Here I sit this Valentine's Day and feel the urge to write!

I have my cat Viktoria in my arms, I am completely dressed in red for the day (dress, lipstick & nail polish) and just had a sweet heart attack because Viktoria turned her head and looked me in the eyes when I started singing a song! How sweet?

Got the question on Insta story from a follower who wondered how my start in 2021 has been, so thought I could chat a bit about it in the blog! :) I always get so shocked when I realize that people are reading and cares haha. I asked e.g. on Instagram if someone operated on the tonsils and wanted to answer my questions and I got SO many answers! Long layouts as well. Imagine how good a time we really live in now? You have like a team around you constantly. Gold!!

Healthier 2021!

Now I have been nagging about my throat problems for 2.5 years and it does not get better. But not worse either :) Now I have decided to run a final test period with different methods and if this does not help, it will be the knife. But I am so rädd för att operera bort halsmandlarna. Dessutom säger läkarna “frågan är om det hjälper” så det är inte ett lätt beslut.

The methods I am currently testing:

Infrared light! It is healing and is used on, among other things, sports injuries. I think it works so that the heat from the red light goes several centimeters into the body and causes artificial fever. This triggers a natural healing process in the area, a bit like acupuncture I think?

2. Move me more! Mina dagar spenderas mestadels sittandes framför datorn. Vi bor så litet så inte ens “gå till köket” är någon rörelse för mig, jag bara ställer mig upp och vänder mig om så är jag i köket haha.

I have therefore started dancing inside Annika's living room when she is at work! :) Headphones with spicy music and then I entertain myself by bouncing around for an hour type. It's great fun !! I do it Monday-Friday and actually feel on the weekend that I long for Monday to dance again.

3. Manukahonung - Heard that this should be good for sore throat. Honey is useful, everyone says! I hate honey though, especially Manuka honey I have now learned the hard way. But every night I take a tops and put a click on each tonsil, trying not to swallow for a while.

4. Eat only naturally - Enbart frukt, nötter, grönsaker, rotfrukter och vissa dagar fisk (men mestadels helt veganskt förutom ägg från våra egna höns). Ibland lite grekisk yoghurt som sås, men det är vårt största “fusk” :)

We eat quite healthy otherwise too but not at this level as we have been doing now for 2 weeks. But it's going great, I've never eaten so good and luxurious every day! Miska is so good at making healthy dishes incredibly good, I do not understand how he does! I'm otherwise a pretty picky person but this is just pure pleasure actually!

I love parsnips! Nothing new for this health period, but otherwise as well. How can there be so little talk about parsnips? Is it just me love the? I get safe from parsnip :)

Now it's exactly one month since I had a sore throat and high fever last time, so it should be on g again soon if it continues as usual. So keep your fingers crossed that it stays away now! At least longer periods.

No customer bookings for me for a period

After we moved the salon and I no longer have an office there, I have worked from home and only went in one day a week to take my regular customers. It's fun with my regulars, like meeting friends almost :) so I did not want to stop.

Jag brukar samla alla kunder på samma dag och det har gått bra tidigare. Men andra corona-vågen slog till hårdare än någonsin på salongen och efter flera “misslyckade” arbetsdagar så insåg jag att jag måste ta en paus med detta. Mina stamkunder bokas numera in på mina kollegor istället.

There have been so many cancellations at the last minute due to symptoms, which is absolutely right! But it does not really work for me who goes in alone for my bookings. Counting on bookings several hours in a row but then only having 1-2 customers, means that I went back financially after petrol, parking, VAT and taxes. I would have earned more by staying home.

Very boring! But still a simple decision because it was so every week, I can not pay money to work. No wonder :) Now I long for spring and vaccine so I can start taking customers again!

I still work with the company from home. Here I sit in bed with reports, salaries and layoffs. And the lamp with infrared light towards the neck :)

My other companies!

My working days mostly consist of other work though! Partly some advertising revenue via the blog, which we are working on to SEO-adapt even more. Google is the source of my biggest income right now, haha.

Miska and I have started a separate limited company and work with other assignments in addition to the salon. Miska also builds websites and helps companies with digital marketing, including to a veterinary clinic that has received incredibly good results from this!

But mostly I work with my third limited company. Emma and I, who are my new business partner, are developing a completely new make-up brand and are both working full time with this. It's video meetings, it's research, it's tests, it's negotiation, it's lawyers.

But more than that I can not go into unfortunately, due to privacy :)

Wonderful days!

When you dribble three companies in the middle of a pandemic, there is a lot that is constantly shaking. Even privately, our van is in the workshop again and my regular car that we crashed into a tree in the middle of the day, we find no cheap doors to. So it just stands ..

But I'm starting to get a little more fluent some days, I still feel! :)

Och så försöker jag passa på att njuta lite också, det är ju trots allt en ganska unik period just nu. Vi bor på samma tomt som Annika och Mileya – som nu är 2 år och världens goaste! Jag jobbar hemifrån varje dag och min katt Viktoria känner sig mycket bortskämd över detta ;) Jag och Miska har det jättebra ihop fast vi är med varandra 24/7 i denna lilla stuga. Och planerar dessutom att “bygga mindre” i och med vår skåpbil som vi ska börja bygga på igen så fort kylan försvinner :)

Just one such thing that this was my coffee break the other day! To live in the country and only a few 100 m from such a nice lake. I just wanted to take the glittering snow and lay straight on the eyelids haha, how nice? :)

Jag är faktiskt lite “förföljd” av ordet “gratitude” som jag ser precis överallt. Lite som att universum vill säga någonting till mig. En morgon kände jag mig super-spirituell och tänkte mycket på attraktionslagen och sådan. Då drog jag ett änglakort (inget jag gör mycket, men jag har en kortlek och tror på sånt) och fick även då kortet “gratitude”. När jag läste i boken om vad kortet betyder så var det i princip om attraktionslagen! Att om jag är tacksam för allt gott jag har nu och tänker på vad jag vill ha mer av (eller fortsätta ha kvar) i framtiden, så kommer jag att få det.

How appropriate! :)

Today when I was doing the dishes, my brain wandered away and I actually put my future dreams into words in a pretty good way; I want my life to be better than my Instagram! Haha wow how silly it sounded without explanation !!

Men alla säger ju jämnt “alla lägger bara upp det bästa på Instagram, det är inte verkligheten” och det stämmer ju. Men varje gång jag och Miska är ute och reser så känner jag tvärtom – det var mycket, mycket, mycket bättre än hur det såg ut på Instagram! Det är så mycket som försvinner när man bara lägger ut bilder och filmklipp, internskämten man skapar, den härliga stämningen o.s.v.

Så vill jag att mitt liv ska vara också, att när folk säger “ni ser ut att ha ett så härligt liv” så är första känslan “om det ser härligt ut på Instagram så kan jag säga att det faktiskt är yet better!" :)

Is not it a good goal to strive for? I think it will be so. Soon you will hear me utter those words, haha!

The life enjoyer Helena höhö. Here I am sitting in the car on the way to my dad who turned 88 this Thursday! Miska cooked fine dining and we had such an amazing time :)

Såhär såg Miska ut när vi åt lunch här om dagen, solen sken in så fint, jag var bara tvungen att fota! :) Nu ska han och jag “fira” alla hjärtans dag med lite film och te i sängen. Det blir mysigt!

This post is sponsored by hängmattaonline.se and now you are really hungry for summer, sun and ice cream in a wonderful hammock! :) Sure?

Hope you have a nice Sunday too and get a good start to the new week later!

Hug! ♥

Review - Indy Beauty Smink (Therese Lindgren)

Writer,

Helena Amiley

Feb 7, 2021

Now I have finally tried Indy Beauty makeup and here is my review of all the wonderful vegan makeup from Indy Beauty & Therese Lindgren!

Just like all make-up products, which have been launched so far at the time of writing :)

Trademarks & Values – Products & Ingredients – Reviews

Indy Beauty Makeup

I have used all products several times to evaluate carefully, but today I show all products step by step in one and the same make-up! :)

In addition to doing a review of the Indy Beauty makeup products, I have also done a little deep dive of the brand Indy Beauty which is created and owned by Therese Lindgren. What values, products & ingredients do they have!

Previously I have done a review of Indy Beauty skin care & body care which is very well attended and popular: you can read the post here.

So very nice Indy Beauty makeup !!

Trademarks & Values

I was at the press breakfast when Indy Beauty launched their very first products in 2018 and remember that I fell for their values! I have met Therese Lindgren a few times and she is always so happy and nice, a person who spreads positive energy :)

Indy Beauty is a completely vegan beauty brand created by the influencer & youtuber Therese Lindgren. The concept with Indy Beauty is to love yourself & be kind to yourself both on the outside and inside. Indy Beauty is also one of the few brands that is certified by Djurens Rätt. Read more about Animal Rights here.

“Skönhet är friskvård” är någonting jag själv ofta pratar om med mina kunder på salongen. Att smörja in sig, sminka sig, dutta och greja det handlar verkligen inte om bara yta och fåfänga. Utan att ta hand om sig själv, känna sig bekväm i sin egen hud och låta utsidan spegla insidan. För mig är smink och skönhetsprodukter terapi också! :)

In addition, protecting wildlife is so incredibly important to me as I really am an animal lover. I am now in my 4th year without having eaten meat and poultry ♥ So vegan products are really an extra plus!

Products & Ingredients

Indy Beauty makeup and their other products are created with a focus on being kind to your skin. The products are also 100% vegan & cruelty free, everything from skin care, body care, hair care and makeup.

They have also listed all the ingredients in a neat list in alphabetical order on their website, click here to see the list. There you can also read where the ingredients come from, what they do and what they are good for and which product contains the specific ingredient.

What I like about the design is that it is simple = also gives the customer a cheaper price. The products are not budget but would certainly have cost more if they used more expensive packaging and design. Because I experience the content as very qualitative!

Dessutom har de lagt in så gulliga detaljer, t.ex. en hjärtform i sina puder och att det står “Du är fin” när man öppnar vissa kartonger. Titta:

You will be happy! :)

Indy Beauty Primer / face primer

Först ut av min “Indy Beauty smink-recensionen” är två stycken ansiktsprimers! En som minimerar synligheten av porer och en som är återfuktande.

Indy Beauty - Pore Me Away! Pore Minimizing Primer

Product Description Pore Me Away! Pore Minimizing Primer:

“En ofärgad, lätt primer med porminskande och nedmattande egenskaper. Jämnar ut huden och förlänger hållbarheten på din makeup. Primern innehåller 30 ml produkt och är milt parfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Pore Me Away! Pore Minimising Primer Review:

Indy Beautys primer har en väldigt lätt gel-konsistens. Mycket trevlig! När den torkar in så blir huden matt, men på ett väldigt diskret sätt. Inte alls torr men inte heller särskilt “velvet matte” utan en lite mattare och lite slätare yta än innan.

There are primers that are very pore-filling but this is none of them, but it gives a smoother result absolutely.

I have nothing negative to say about this, very fresh and lovely on the skin, a good base under makeup and keeps what it promises. Easy and just right :) But it is not a hardcore primer either if you want a very depressing or very pore-filling result.

The size is good too, 30 ml is not an unusual size but definitely among the larger ones. Anything between 20-30 ml is common for a face primer.

Indy Beauty - It's Prime Time! Moisturizing Primer SPF30

Product Description It's Prime Time! Moisturizing Primer SPF30:

“En ofärgad, lätt primer som återfuktar samtidigt som den skyddar huden mot solen med SPF 30. Jämnar ut huden och ger en mjuk & len finish som varar länge. Primern innehåller 30 ml produkt och är milt parfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty It's Prime Time! Moisturizing Primer SPF30 review:

Indy Beauty's moisturizing primer is a very rich primer that is more reminiscent of a day cream than a primer I would say. A very nice base for you who need a lot of moisture!

Lite “kladdig” när jag smorde in den, men det torkar in snabbt och då känns huden jättebra igen. Första gången jag använde den så tänkte jag “känns som en solkräm” och sedan såg att den innehåller SPF30 (hade inte läst så noga innan) så det förklarar saken. Ganska vit och krämig konsistens liksom.

I have high sebum production in the skin but do not feel that I got fatter from this even though it is so rich and creamy. It did not feel like any of Indy Beauty's face primers significantly affected my oily skin in any direction, neither more nor less oiliness.

I will definitely use this as a sunscreen when the spring sun comes!

Indy Beauty does not have a covering base make-up in its range, so after the primer I have applied foundation and concealer from another brand.

But beyond that, all products in the make-up are Indy Beauty make-up! And some permanent makeup / makeup tattoos as well (thin black eyeliner, light inliner along the waterline, lips and eyebrows).

Indy Beauty - Ready Set Go! Setting Powder

Product Description Ready Set Go! Setting Powder:

“Ett transparent löspuder som fixerar smink, absorberar överflödig olja och reducerar glans. Ger en omedelbar silkeslen och matt finish som varar hela dagen. Appliceras enklast med en puderborste genom att svepa lätt över hela ansiktet, eller dutta in pudret med en puderpuff. Pudret innehåller 3 gram produkt och är oparfymerad & helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Ready Set Go! Setting Powder Review:

Indy Beauty's powder is incredibly smooth! Very light, blurring and nice on the skin. A classic Silica powder I thought before I read the inci list and quite rightly, the ingredient that the powder contains the most is silica. I have felt 100% pure silica and it was like touching air! After that, I recognize Silica products at first glance :) Incredibly fluffy and light material.

I have not tried to shoot with flash when I used Indy Beauty's powder, but a powder with a lot of silica can easily give flashbacks. So if you often take photos with flash or e.g. should do something where you are photographed (eg wedding) so maybe you should choose another powder. But as I said, I have not tested, it may not give flashbacks at all.

Just because a powder contains silica does not automatically mean that it gives flashbacks! It depends on the amount of silica and which other ingredients are included in the formulation.

Indy beauty's powder is at least in terms of grams, 3 grams is really a low number. But the powder is very light, so in volume it is actually not such a small amount! It is difficult to compare volume when it comes to powder products because powder weighs differently. A powder that contains 9 grams can be the same amount as one that weighs 10 grams. So I was still positively surprised by the crowd :)

I produktbeskrivningen står det “matt finish som varar hela dagen” men om det varar hela dagen beror helt på hur oljig man är i huden. Silica absorberar väldigt bra så det är absolut ett nedmattande puder, men för mig finns det inget puder på marknaden som håller min hy matt hela dagen.

I do not have a proper picture of the application of this step because my cat Viktoria would promptly hang on the back of the chair. I did not have a conscience to say no!

Indy Beauty - Bring On The Sun! Bronzing Sculpting Powder

This bronzing powder also has a nice heart, as I wrote that some Indy Beauty makeup has. Som rougen!

Product Description Bring On The Sun! Bronzing Sculpting Powder:

“Ett högpigmenterat och lätt solpuder som även fungerar att användas för contouring för att skulptera ansiktet eller dekolletage. Den ger ett naturligt matt resultat med en sammetslen finish och finns i 2 olika nyanser, danisa & milou. Solpudret innehåller 9,5 gram produkt och är oparfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Bring On The Sun! Bronzing Sculpting Powder Review:

Indy Beauty's sun powder / bronzer is so Good! I realize I have not written any wow reviews yet, but from now on things are starting to happen! Indy Beauty's face primer is good but no wow-feeling, their powder is also great but gave no wow-feeling there either.

However, Indy Beauty's bronzer! So Good! Here is a new favorite in my makeup bag! Which of the colors? Both!

I start by applying the lighter shade, Danisa, all over the face and down on the décolleté.

This is to fake a little tan and I applied extra a lot in this post to show even more clearly.

Then I add the darker shade, Milou, as contouring on selected areas. Under the cheekbones. In the temples and up a little towards the forehead. On the sides of the chin and nose. If I am not going to do an eye makeup, I swipe a little of this on the eyelids as well.

The formula is incredibly soft and nice! Perfectly pigmented, enough to give a lot of effect and enough to still be easy to work with. One for Pigmented product can be difficult to get even.

Pretty big box too, which simplifies if you want to use as much as I do, with a large brush down the neck and décolleté as well.

5/5 points!

Indy Beauty - Make Me Blush! Rouge

Product Description Make Me Blush! Rouge:

“En högpigmenterad rouge som ger liv i ansiktet och en naturlig färg och lyster. Enkel att applicera och bygga upp för önskad intensitet och finns i två nyanser, Inez & Jasmine. Rougen innehåller 9,5 gram produkt och är oparfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Make Me Blush! Red Review:

Indy Beauty's blush / blush are incredibly pigmented blushes! With a soft and fluffy brush, both colors are absolutely amazing! Easy to work with and very soft formula.

They also have a large box which feels luxurious for a blush. But still flexible in the make-up bag because it is so flat.

However, it is important not to have a too compact or small brush, then you can happen to get a little too much at once even if you are careful. But if it does, it does not do much, because it is easy to brush out and dazzle into the skin. But I recommend a soft and fluffy brush!

Including colors too, works on me with light skin but also thinks that they are absolutely incredible on deeper skin tones too!

The color Ines is a strong pink color and Jasmine is a little duller and warmer, a little more apricot but without being crunchy.

Indy Beauty - Ready Set Glow! Highlighter

Product Description Ready Set Glow! Highlighter:

“En högpigmenterad highlighter för att ljusa upp, framhäva och skulptera ansiktsdragen med sin sammetslena finish. Ger ett vackert glow och finns i två nyanser, Celine & Maxinne. Highlightern innehåller 5,3 gram produkt och är oparfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Ready Set Glow! Highlighter review:

Indy Beauty's highlighters are incredibly beautiful! Efficient glow with just one swipe, without being too glittery. You can sweep thinly if you just want a little glow, but you can also get a lot of effect.

Very nice, two thumbs up!

On this page I have the pink blush Ines and the cooler highlighter Maxinne.

On this page I have the duller blush Jasmine and the warmer highlighter Celina.

Indy Beauty - Up Your Brow Game! Brow Fix

Now we come to the next part of the Indy Beauty makeup reviews: eyebrows, eyes & lips!

Product Description Up Your Brow Game! Brow Fix:

“Ett färgat, lätt ögonbrynspomade med naturliga fibrer för att forma, fylla ut och definiera dina ögonbryn. Den är enkel att applicera, torkar snabbt och håller sedan brynen på plats hela dagen utan att kladda eller kännas stel. Denna finns i 3 olika nyanser, nessa, ella & armin. Ögonbrynspomaden innehåller 4 ml och är parfymfri och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Up Your Brow Game! Brow Fix review:

Indy Beauty's brow fix is a brow / brow mascara / brow pomade with a brush. A heavenly good product!

Partly in a transparent color that is just like a fringe, comb the straws nicely and keep them in place during the day. My eyebrows are quite obsessive, however, so as for the transparent, I want a slightly more effective formula.

Däremot tycker jag att de färgade varianterna är jättebra! Av någon anledning är de lite starkare på mina envisa strån också, kanske är de lite “kladdigare” i konsistensen?

But above all, they emphasize the straws nicely! In this post I have only used these, but otherwise I usually fill in the eyebrows with pencil or shadow and then top with Indy Beauty brow fix.

In this make-up I have not filled in the eyebrows at all, just brushed in this eyebrow pomade. It colors the skin a little (I do it on purpose anyway), gives the straws more color and makes them look more prominent.

I really like them! The light one is a little too light on me but the darker one is absolutely perfect. I think the eyebrows will be super nice but still natural! Quick and easy, nice for me but also good for beginners I think. Compare with my eyebrows on the previous pictures in the post!

Highly recommend !!

In this picture I have the two different colors on each eyebrow:

Indy Beauty - Eyes Eyes Baby! Eyeshadow Palette

What was most positively surprising of all Indy Beauty makeup were these eyeshadow palettes!

Product description Eyes Eyes Baby! Eyeshadow Palette:

“En liten rund ögonskuggspalett med fyra högpigmenterade sammetslena ögonskuggor, finns i två olika varianter, chloe & leah. Ögonskuggspaletten innehåller 5 gram produkt och är oparfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Eyes Eyes Baby! Eyeshadow Palette Review:

Okay, my tributes in these Indy Beauty makeup reviews continue! Indy Beauty eye shadows are so incredibly good !! Very pigment-rich and easy to work with. Attaches well and easy to fade out.

Available in a warm palette and a cold one. Good combo with matte shadows and a color that is really shimmery. Texture contrasts are the finest there is I think :)

In this post, I have chosen to show an eye makeup with Indy Beauty's eye shadows without eye primer underneath, because I want to show how pigment-rich they are even without primer. But if you have oily eyelids, use primer underneath anyway because otherwise the make-up does not last - or if you want the shadows even more pigment-rich, eye primers are also preferable!

The shade Chloe in a step by step makeup:

Light eye shadow in the corner of the eye
Intermediate light shadow on the inside of the eyelid and along the globe line
Dark shadow on the outer part of the eyelid
Shimmer shadow in the middle of the eyelid
The same order on the shadows under the eye as well
Mascara on all lashes (Indy Raise The Volume! Volumising Mascara)

Clear!

Indy Beauty Mascara / Mascaror

Indy Beauty - Raise The Volume! Volumising Mascara

Product Description Raise The Volume! Volumising Mascara:

“En volymgivande mascara som ger ett vackert resultat med tjocka och fylliga fransar som håller hela dagen utan att smula eller kladda. Mascaran går att byggas på efter varje applicering om man låter den torka mellan appliceringarna. Mascaran innehåller 12,5 ml produkt och är oparfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Raise The Volume! Volumising Mascara Review:

Application: Easy to paint and quick to paint! Easy on the lower lashes and good precision even though the brush is large.

Mascara brush: Large and soft brush that is really combing. It is not entirely common with such greasy brushes that also comb effectively.

Results: Very nice length and separation. Large brush does not always mean more volume. On my lashes, this gives more separation and length than volume.

Sustainability: Pretty good but discolors a bit under the eyes of me. Could be because I have oily skin. I get such heavenly nice eyelashes from this and like everything with it, so a pity that it does not keep clean because then it would have been a new favorite!

Easy to wash off? No difficulty in washing off! Neither with eye makeup remover nor with hot water and my usual cleaning.

Other: Great price for a mascara! But not only that but the content of 12.5 ml is extremely good! This makes the mascara even more affordable as you get a lot for your money.

Indy Beauty - Curl It Up! Defining Mascara

Product Description Curl It Up! Defining Mascara:

“En mascara för långa & definierade fransar. En smal mascaraborste med mjuka fibrer böjer och separerar fransarna för att få ett vackert resultat som håller hela dagen, utan att smula eller kladda. För att bygga på mascaran så ska den torka mellan appliceringarna. Mascaran innehåller 8,5 ml produkt och är oparfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Curl It Up! Defining Mascara Review:

Application: Easily painted! You can work a lot with the brush and lashes. It quickly gives a carbon black color and fine lashes. Can lump a little if you have a lot of powder on the lashes (I who powder myself so much) so try to be careful with the lashes when you powder yourself.

Mascara brush: Very soft and nice mascara brush.

Results: Have tried both bending the lashes with pliers and skipping it. The mascara will be just as nice no matter what! My lashes are not difficult to bend, but few mascaras bend them as much without pliers as this one actually does. Good separation (not super-combing, but still separated) and also a lot of volume. It is not described as a volume mascara but I think more about volume than separation.

Sustainability: Great compared to many mascaras, but not completely flawless as it discolours a little under the eye for me. Which is probably due to my oily skin. Think it holds up well to most others!

Easy to wash off? No difficulty in washing off! Neither with eye makeup remover nor with hot water and my usual cleaning.

Difference in Indy Beauty curl it up & Raise the volume: The funny thing is that I would like to change the product description on these to the opposite. That Curl it up gives more volume and that Raise the volume are more separated and length. At least on my eyelashes! :)

Besides that, Curl It Up holds me a little better than what Raise The Volume does, the volume mascara discolors a little more under the eye (has tested on each eye the same day and could therefore see the difference clearly). And that Indy Beauty Raise The Volume contains a larger amount, 12.5 ml compared to Curl It Up which contains 8.5 ml.

Indy Beauty - Oil-free Gentle Makeup Remover

This is not Indy Beauty makeup, but a makeup remover still feels like it belongs here among my makeup reviews :)

Product Description Oil-free Gentle Make-up Remover:

“En återfuktande, mild sminkborttagning som effektivt tvättar bort vattenfast smink i ansiktet och runt ögonen. Den går bra att använda på ögonfransförlängning då den är fri från både alkohol och oljor. Sminkborttagningen innehåller 100 ml produkt och är parfymfri och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Oil-free Gentle Makeup Remover Review:

Indy Beauty's makeup remover / makeup remover is good but no favorite. To be oil-free, however, it is effective, I must say! The formula is a gel and for the base make-up it works well, fresh!

To the eyes, it is effective a bit depending on what mascara and how hard makeup you have. For Indy Beauty's mascaras, it works and it removes waterproof makeup as well, but if you are used to an oil-based that goes fast, this feels a bit time-consuming.

What lowers the grade the most is that I have a hard time dosing the amount on the cotton pad when I use it for my eye makeup. If you take too little, it is not effective, but if you take a little too much, it instead becomes very wet and greasy on the eye. The gel is kind of too thick to take off a lot, but if you take a little, the cotton is too dry to dissolve mascara. It is good when you get the perfect amount, but it is difficult!

In other words: I think it is good and effective for being oil-free, but for my eye makeup I need one that is more hardcore. But if you do gentle eye make-up and do not need to moisten the cotton with so much gel, I think it is good :) But no personal favorite for me.

Indy Beauty - Time To Shine! Lip gloss

Product Description Time To Shine! Liplgloss:

“Ett läppglans som ger glans samtidigt som det är mjukgörande. Enkel att applicera och bättra på under dagen utan att den kladdar eller torka ut. Dessa läppglans finns i 3 nyanser, Nikoline (transparent), Agnes & Elvira. Läppglanset innehåller 3 ml produkt och är milt parfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Time To Shine! Liplgloss review:

Indy Beautys läppglans är himla fina! Jag är egentligen fel person att recensera “det bästa läppglanset” för jag tycker inte så mycket om läppglans överlag. Med andra ord, jag vet vilka som är dåliga men är ingen finsmakare när det gäller bra eller jättebra.

Med det sagt så tycker jag att dessa åtminstone hamnar i “bra eller jättebra-kategorin”! Krämig och skön formula och jättefint glans! De pigmenterade färgerna ger en jättefin ton på läpparna, inte heltäckande men gör stor skillnad. Många färgade läppglans ger knappt en synlig färg på läpparna när man applicerat, men de här gör verkligen skillnad.

No mes-lip gloss neither in terms of gloss nor color! :)

The shade Nikole gives only shine and is completely transparent
The shade Elvira gives a warm apricot tone, SO nice! On my lips, it also becomes a little enlightening.
The shade Agnes is more pink. Great color too!

Indy Beautys läppglans påminner faktiskt om “old times” då jag kontant konsumerade IsaDoras läppglans som hade en pensel-applikator, minns ni dom? Den finns inte i sortimentet sedan länge nu. Indy Beautys formula känns precis som den i alla fall! Jag fick verkligen flashbacks!

I took pictures of the pigmented gloss Elvira and Agnes, with a thick layer so that you could see the shades better because I have tattooed lips that shine through a bit. Hope you see the difference well anyway! They give a lot of color with a thin layer as well.

Indy Beauty - Kiss & Make Up! Satin Lipstick

Product description Kiss & Make Up! Satin Lipstick:

“Ett heltäckande läppstift som ger en semi-matt & sammetslen finnish samtidigt som det ger ett långvarigt resultat. Den ger en mjuk och skön känsla utan att torka ut och finns i 5 nyanser, adrianna, emilina, jacquline, natasha & elsa. Läppstiftet innehåller 4 ml produkt och är milt parfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Kiss & Make Up! Satin Lipstick Review:

Indy Beautys läppstift har en otroligt trevlig formula! Jag förstår varför de fått namnet “Satin” för känslan är silkeslen och mjuk. På läpparna känns de som en blandning av matt läppstift och krämigt läppstift, de liksom sitter fast som ett matt läppstift (glider ej runt liksom) men är lika mjukt och skönt som ett krämigt läppstift.

They also provide great pigment and coverage!

Hållbarheten är bra även den. Det går inte att jämföra med ett helt matt läppstift eller en läppenna, men absolut bra för att vara ett krämigt läppstift. Det liksom “sätter sig” lite på läpparna efter en stund. Men man behöver bättra på när man ätit middag.

Very impressed! The light shade Elsa is my new favorite, I have become a real nude person. If you have dark skin, Jaculine is a great nude color!

Och alltså den röda…. MUMS! Den har blivit mitt nya “videomöte-läppstift”. Jag älskar att ha röda läppar och vill gärna ha det i videomöten så att man liksom syns ordentligt :)

Indy Beauty - Kiss & Tell! Matte Liquid Lipstick

Product description Kiss & Tell! Matte Liquid Lipstick:

“Ett flytande läppstift som är heltäckande och ger en matt finish. Det är enkelt att applicera och bättre på under dagen utan att torka ut. Läppstiftet finns i 4 nyanser – amina, zoe, edlira & ceren. Läppstiftet innehåller 3 ml och är milt parfymerad och helt vegansk.”

Indy Beauty Kiss & Tell! Matte Liquid Lipstick Review:

Indy Beauty's matte liquid lipstick is COMPLETELY AMAZING! I'm so in love with them here. My favorite of all Indy Beauty makeup. Quick-painted, good precision even with the applicator (I who otherwise use a separate brush to type all my lip products). Comfortable on the lips, not dry at all even though they are matte. And perfect durability !!

The shades Amina and Edlira är ganska snarlika, men Edlira är lite mörkare och har lite mer färg i sig. Men båda skulle jag klassa som “MLBB”-färger (my lips but better).

Zoe shades är otroligt snygg men chockade mig lite eftersom Indy Beauty annars har mer “klassiskt användbara toner som alla använder”. Aprikos och rosa går liksom alltid hem. Medan Zoe är en kall lila (lavendel?) färg som är otroligt snygg! Jag tycker själv att jag passar jättebra i lila läppstift och det är inte helt lätt att hitta, så jag är jätteglad över denna!

The shade Ceren är en toppenfärg om man vill ha röda läppar men inte “klassiskt röda” utan en mer mild och murrig ton. Lätt att bära upp fast den är röd, kan man säga :)

Make up dark circles & bags under the eyes (5 tips)

Writer,

Helena Amiley

Feb 6, 2021

How to make dark circles & bags under the eyes is a common question from my customers. Which concealer is best and how to apply concealer under the eyes?

Here are my top 5 tips!

Make up dark circles under the eyes

Darker skin tone under the eyes

How to best make up dark circles under the eyes depends first and foremost on how the darkness arises. Is it a natural shade because you have a depth under the eyes, or is the skin tone also darker?

If the skin tone is dark and / or blue under the eyes, invest in a concealer with coverage. There are color-correcting concealers if you are very blue, but if you have a highly pigmented concealer that covers completely, that is usually enough!

The important thing is not to just lighten up with a bubbly product, because if the darkness below shines through, the skin can look greyish.

Denna kund ville sminka bort mörka ringar under ögonen. Jag har därför lagt en högpigmenterad heltäckande krämconcealer och sedan ett puder över som blurrar linjerna en del. Läs hela produktlistan i mitt tidigare inlägg: “make-up before & after”With the product list for the entire make-up. All products are available in my salon & webshop; The concealer is glo Skin Beauty Under Eye Concealer.

2. Deep under the eyes

Should you make up dark circles under the eyes that occur due to a natural shade? Even though the skin tone itself is not darker, it is common (on almost everyone) to have a depression under the eye that is perceived as darker because it is a pit. Some more and others less.

Då behöver man inte täcka så mycket och inte heller färgkorrigera, för huden har ju “rätt” hudton redan. Då räcker det med uppljusning! Jag brukar använda en ljus, matt eller halvmatt contouring-skugga bara. Men ett tunt lager av en concealer som är lite ljusare än din egen hudton fungerar också bra.

Man kan också sminka mörka ringar under ögonen genom att ljusa upp med en lystergivande produkt som reflekterar ljus! Här ser ni en kund där jag använt en sådan produkt under bara ena ögat. Ingen täckning, bara lyster. Till vänster ser ni en mörk skugga i “djupet” och på högersidan ser det ljusare ut tack vare de ljusreflekterande pigmenten.

This is a product from Pixi that has been discontinued from Pixi's range.

A shadow / powder that is lighter than the skin tone is my favorite technique. I have used it in this picture. So fast and easy! Just a few dots / swipes with a soft eye shadow brush under the eye, it's clear.

I myself use the light shade out Contouring Palette or the eye shadow Paese Kashmir Mono Eyeshadow (667) which is in my webshop & salon :)

Concealer under the eyes

Which concealer is best under the eyes? Cream? Liquid?

The choice of formula for making up dark circles under the eyes is 100% taste, the most important thing is rather the color. That you choose a full coverage to get rid of darkness, or a lighter one if you want to light up a depth. Then whether it is a cream in a jar, liquid, a stick or whatever - it matters less.

3. Powder under the eyes? Matt or lust?

Använder du concealer för att sminka mörka ringar under ögonen så rekommenderar jag att pudra ovanpå, åtminstone på de flesta concealers. Det beror också på hur mycket produkt du applicerar och hur bra concealern “sätter sig” själv.

The good thing about powder is that it fixes the concealer so that it stops being creamy = kept in place without settling in the lines.

If you have a lot of lines and structure under the eyes, a good powder helps to even out these. I do not mean that lines are something to hide, but many have a lot of small lines and structure in the skin under the eyes and when they are highlighted, it can look almost more unnatural.

A lot of shimmer and shine can emphasize the structure of the skin even more. Use only a soft and fine-grained powder, not a matte one that looks dry! Many people are afraid of powder under the eyes because they think it should emphasize the lines, but a fine-grained, soft powder has the opposite effect and actually blurs the skin.

However, a powder with a discreet luster is not crazy at all, so not shimmery but only slightly. Because luster grains light up so when they end up in a deep wrinkle, they reflect the light and make the wrinkle look smaller. For example. the contouring shadow from Paese that I use under the eyes has a discreet glow. Not shimmery, but not completely matte either.

In other words: A glossy and shimmery finish can emphasize the structure of the skin, but blurring powder and a natural glow reduce this.

Om du däremot inte har mycket struktur under ögonen så kan du välja själv om du föredrar en matt yta eller mer lyster. Men som en av bilderna ovan visade så har lyster en uppljusande effekt vilket “lyfter” och då är det bara positivt med glow :)

4. Apply concealer under the eyes:

Att lägga concealer/uppljusning som en trekant som ni ser på vänster sida är ett vanligt sminktips. Men det är inte den tekniken som jag rekommenderar för att sminka mörka ringar under ögonen. Då rekommenderar jag att istället applicera som högersidan; bara ljusa upp precis i djupet – inte upp på på “höjderna” runt omkring.

Why? You lighten up to make the depth look less deep and thus conjure away the shadow, but if you put the concealer on the entire area under the eye then you light up the same everywhere and the difference between the rest of the skin and the pit will then be the same.

Make-up bags under the eyes

5. Can you put away bags under the eyes?

Påsar under ögonen betyder att man har som en “höjd” under ögat.

Is it the same technique as dark circles when putting make-up bags under the eyes? Not really but almost!

Man tänker likadant, att man ljusar upp “bara i den djupa delen”. Men har du påsar under ögonen så är djupheten inte bara ett djupt område utan man har också en liten påse att förhålla sig till. En påse som inte ska ljusas upp om du vill att den ska synas mindre.

If you light up that height with a light color, it will look even higher. Therefore, I usually only light up around the bag / height, and put nothing enlightening on the height at all.

So I usually only apply light where the skin goes inwards. Which is usually around the bag. Exactly how the bag and the depressions around the bag sit can be different for different people. Some have a large deep area under the bag, some above. Some have no depth above the bag at all, just below. Light up where it is deep on your eyes :)

If you are both dark under the eyes and have bags, then you can apply a covering concealer on the entire area (which matches your skin tone) and then lighten up around the bag as the picture shows.

Summary: Use full-coverage concealer if your skin tone is darker. Use enlightening products if you are going to make up deep areas. Should you even out so bright only in the deep areas - not on the whole area under the eye.

Hope these tips were helpful and that everything was understandable! :)

I have also made a blog post where I go more into possible causes and tips that reduce dark circles and bags under the eyes: 15 tips for bags under the eyes, swollen eyelids & dark circles

Hug hug!
