Add Glamour To Your Look With FACE Stockholm Holiday 2010

This beautiful look from FACE Stockhom is perfect for all of the holiday parties (New Years!) that you might be attending. Plus its super easy to achieve. It’s a basic smoky eye, up with glitter — try their Galaxy Glitter in Sex ( beautiful blue and black combo) over their matte eye shadows Blabar (a purpley blue) and Thunder (charcoal gray). Top it of with their Eyeliner in Black and Volumizing Mascara in Black. Easy Glamour!

With all of the eye drama going on, keep the rest of the face cheeks and lips soft. Picture Perfect Foundation is a high-pigmented cream that comes in a whopping 20 shades! You can also use the Magic Wand for concealing dark circles (NOT party pretty) and blemishes. Shy Blush (light pinky-peach) and Mystic Highlighter (white pearl) gives soft color and glow. Top the look off with Lipstick in Modesty (very light nude) and lip gloss in #28 (light coral pink).

FACE Stockholm Mineral Powder Foundation with SPF 15

: FACE Stockholm Mineral Powder Foundation with SPF 15

Need a new mineral foundation? Although I am not a fan of the loose mineral makeup that is so popular these days, I love the smooth finish that the new FACE Stockholm Mineral Powder Foundation with SPF 15 ($38.00 USD) gives me.

FACE Stockholm’s website states, “Our innovative, Mineral Foundation Powder with SPF 15 provides a natural, non-irritating alternative that is hypoallergenic, paraben and fragrance free and includes the added benefits of antioxidant and ultraviolet protection with Dermat Complex to significantly reduce shine.

This silky, soft mineral-based foundation glides on effortlessly, to create a healthy, glowing, flawless complexion without any mess. Formulated to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines while creating a natural matte finish, it does double duty as a translucent powder – or a buildable coverage foundation.

The lightweight, breathable powder easily adjusts from polished sheer to rich, more opaque coverage with the use of a brush or sponge. Enhanced with Vitamins A, C & E to condition and Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for natural, chemical-free sun protection, it is appropriate for all skin types.”

I love this mineral makeup. It doesn’t cake in the pores like other mineral foundation can and it actually seems to hydrated my skin instead of making it seem dryer. It stays fresh on my face for hours, too. Available in 7 shades from very light to very dark, this foundation would work on many different skin tones and types.

FACE Stockholm Chrystal Deodorant

Are you a fan of natural deodorant? I love the idea, expecially if it is good for your skin. But normally I go for the extreme, keep-you-dry, almost-prescriptive deodorants. I am sadly a sweaty girl. But I do like the idea of natural deodorant.

So, with some trepidation, I tried FACE Stockholm Chrystal Deodorant ($9.00 USD). The website describes it as:

“Free of harmful aluminums, parabens, and chlorohydrate, our all-natural crystal deodorant combines pure mineral salts with Chamomile to provide gentle, soothing, 24-hour protection. Fragrance free and hypoallergenic, our formula neutralizes bacteria to prevent odor, not cover it. Clean, non-staining and never sticky it dries quickly leaving no residue. A healthy, effective alternative for you and the environment.”

What I thought:

I like this for an everyday, just-out-of-the-shower deodorant. What I mean is that if I’m not doing anything strenuous, I will apply this after I take a morning shower. But it doesn’t work for me to apply in the afternoon or evening before going out and definitely not if I am going to the gym. I like that it doesn’t have a scent that conflicts with perfumes or lotions, but it isn’t too effective in covering my natural odor if I sweat. I do think this is great for taking a break from my stronger deodorants, and I also like that it doesn’t leave white marks on my clothes.

If you don’t sweat heavily, take a chance and try this deodorant. It is good for you and the environment! Visit www.facestockholm.com to learn more and to purchase.

FACE Stockholm’s Dramatic Fall 2009 Collection

Face Stockholm Fall 2009

I love FACE Stockholm’s exciting seasonal looks. For fall, they have come out with a collection that is as wearable as it is dramatic. The products used on the model in the photo are:

COLOR ESSENTIALS
Beloved Lipstick — deep, berry-red
Tuija Lip Pencil — dark red
Generös & Utsökt Matte Eye Shadows — Generös is a soft terracotta, and Utsökt is light cream
Myrrah Brow Shadow — a beautiful dark warm brown
Rome & Hudson Crème Blush — Rome is a matte pinky-bronze and Hudson is a soft shimmery peach.

To achieve the look in the photo, FACE Stockholm suggests:

For flawless porcelain skin, start with FACE Stockholm’s Picture Perfect Foundation in your favorite-skin flattering shade. Use Rome Crème Blush as a contour below the cheekbones and Hudson as a highlighter on the top of cheekbones. A little Myrrah Brow Shadow helps to create full, but groomed brows. Generös Matte Eye Shadow is best applied with our #39 Blender Brush in the crease of the lid, while Utsökt can be applied to the whole lid up to the brow. Our Lash Curler and Volumizing Black Mascara complete the eye. And for the all- important lip, apply Beloved Lipstick with our #18 Lip Brush over Tuija Pencil.

I think that the lipstick is beautiful, but more of a night color, unless you blot it and wear it as a stain. My favorite product is the brow powder as it is the perfect shade for me.

Make a Splash with FACE Stockholm’s Summer Look!

FACE Stockholm is a fashion forward brand of luxury makeup. Founded in Sweden by Gun Nowak in the 1980’s, FACE Stockholm can be found worldwide. Their Summer Look is a combination of “surf-inspired blues and vivid sunset pinks”. The collection is described on the model in the photo as:

BASE
A sheer application of Loose Powder #2 ($26.00 USD) and Magic Wand ($32.00 USD) will leave skin even without masking that natural summer glow.

LIDS
Apply Pearl Eye Shadow #44 ($19.00 USD) on the lid up to the brow bone. Top off with a touch of Details Eye Dust ($22.00 USD) for shimmer and shine. Brighten the inside of the eye with Clarity Eye Dust ($22.00 USD). Use Dark Blue Matte Eye Shadow ($20.00 USD)and Forceful Eye Dust ($22.00 UDS) on the outer lid for a smokey effect. The Dark Blue Matte Eye Shadow also does double duty as a soft liner on the top lash line.

LASHES
Double up! Apply both Black and Blue Volumizing Waterproof Mascara ($32.00 USD each) for thick, rich lashes with a colorful twist that won’t budge, smudge or smear.

CHEEKS
Cheeks pop with Organza Blush-On ($20.00 USD) or Rio Creme Blush ($25.00 USD).

LIPS
Full color power and shine is achieved with Instinct Lipstick ($22.00 USD) and a top coat of clear Glas.

I was lucky enough to try the entire collection and it is so much fun! My favorite products are the Loose Powder and Magic Wand. With these two items, I don’t need a foundation, which is perfect for the easy days of summer. The Magic Wand highlighter/concealer covers my flaws and the powder sets it nicely.

Both blushes are lovely. The Organza Pink powder blush is very light and can almost be used as a highlighter. The Rio Creme Blush is a shocking pink in the compact but goes on very sheer and blends easily. The shadows are very shimmery and fun for a night out, as is the VERY bright pink lipstick! The mascaras are both thickening and add length, and the blue mascara provides a fun pop of color on lashes.

You may purchase these items on line at www.facestockholm.com for a bright and fun summer!
