Who is having a meltdown? Not me {Skindinävia Review}

No more meltdown ladies! Makeup meltdown that is. Who knew that all it took were a couple sprays of Skindinävia products to make it all better! I didn't until I was fortunate enough to try two of their best sellers, 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish and No More Shine Makeup Finish.

No More Shine Makeup Finish
Benefits:
Helps control shine and absorb excess oil
Fewer required “touchups” throughout the day
Helps reduce appearance of makeup smudging or creasing
Helps reduce makeup slippage into pores, lines, wrinkles, or scars
Save up to 50% of makeup usage
Surface cooling technology holds temperature to avoid melting or sliding

With the drier & colder weather here in Canada I couldn't really test the "No more shine" theory but I did use it as a primer instead. Works lovely as a primer actually! I also use this to thin-out full coverage foundations (hey I'm on a no-buy policy right now got to finish what I have), spray my face & apply my liquid foundation with a foundation brush. My favourite method was using this spray mixed with my MAC Studio Stick Foundation (shade NC27), you can try this method with any stick foundation. I apply 5 dots; one on each check, chin, forehead and a little dab on the nose. Spray & use my foundation brush to spread the foundation. Makeup stayed on all day & no streaks:) You can apply this product before &/or after.


10 Years Younger Makeup Finish
Benefits:
Helps diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Six moisturizers alleviate dry or powdery appearance on makeup surface
Helps reduce makeup slippage into pores, lines, wrinkles, or scars
Surface cooling technology holds temperature to avoid melting or sliding
Fewer required “touchups” throughout the day
Saves up to 50% of makeup usage

Of the two sprays I liked this one the best because I found it more hydrating. Of course this one does state it is more moisturizing and No More Shine Makeup Finish is for oilier skintypes. I only apply this after my makeup application (although I should try it as a primer) and I also liked using this spray on flights. Leaves skin with a nice glowy finish but not shiny. Makeup lasts all day!

Both products are oil & paraben free. For more info visit Skindinävia.com

  1. I don't use any facial sprays myself but I'm very intrigued by these two products. I've never heard of this brand before. Thanks for this! :)

  2. Thanks Monica for letting me know about your blog- you are a fountain of beauty information!

    As for my comment, I am an actor and singer and setting my makeup for the duration of a show can make or break a performance! (There's nothing worse than ending up with foundation drips and droopy eye makeup running into your eyes when you're trying to sing under the hot lights!) Although I prefer lotion primers to spray primers, I always use a spray to finish & set my makeup- I really like Evian's Brumisateur (face spray) as a quick and non-irritating way to set your makeup http://www.shopevian.com/c-7-brumisateur-facial-spray.aspx

    and Clinique's moisture surge face spray is really nice when your skin is parched in the winter http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P122836&categoryId=B70

    although in a pinch, the mist of a hot shower or even a quick spritz of an all-natural alcohol-free hairspray will do the trick well!
