Almost 2 weeks ago it was time again for Berlin Fashion Week. These days are always exciting, interesting and hectic: catwalks, meetings, countless taxis and changes of clothes, long parties and short nights. Pure glitz and glam!
But you also have to look good around the clock and as a tried and tested Fashion Week veteran, I'm revealing my Fashion Week beauty must-haves today:
Prep and Primp From the day before Fashion Week, the skin is polished to a high gloss. Firstly with the dark green flower mask from Belmar to clarify the skin and supply it with important immortelle active ingredients. This is followed by the Revitalising Mask from Dr Hauschka. This power combination is simply unbeatable! Even very irritated, impure and sensitive skin is soothed and glows like after 12 hours of beauty sleep, long nights and smoky rooms disappear from the face. During Fashion Week, the Belmar-Hauschka mask combination is my daily evening ritual.
TipDr. Hauschka Revitalising Mask is a day cream that soothes even deep inflammation and redness during a painful acne flare-up. Quite a lot of power in a small tube.
Dress Prep The Laundress Fabric Fresh freshness spray is one of my most loyal travelling companions and can always be found in my bathroom. Take clothes out of the suitcase, freshen them up with a few sprays and blazers, pleated dresses and even silk fabrics look and smell fresh again. This way you look perfectly groomed without having to quickly hand in your entire wardrobe to the more environmentally damaging dry cleaner.
TipFabric Fresh Spray is also a must-have in the office, every blazer is fresh again in 30 seconds!
Inner beauty During Fashion Week, the handbag has a substitute job as a fridge. My pick-me-up for in-between meals is baobab. Baobab fruit powder is a multivitamin and particularly rich in antioxidants, which you need especially in hectic times. It combats tiredness and the effects of stress and strengthens the immune system.
TipBaobab is available in practical sachets for on the go!
Beautiful complexion for 16h If you don't want to reapply your make-up several times a day, you can rely on the famous Inika trio. Consisting of liquid foundation (almost the only liquid organic foundation and a favourite of make-up artists), perfection concealer and mineral powder - it provides all-day coverage and looks completely natural. TipWait a few moments after applying the liquid foundation for the first time, only then will the coverage develop.
Silk hair with volume Years ago, I saw a beauty editor with a wavy mane handling white powder in the toilet of an expensive hotel and discreetly looked away - 3 minutes later, I realised my mistake and the miraculous effect of Dr. Hauschka Silk Powder. Since then, I can no longer imagine my handbag without it! Dr Hauschka Silk Powder works wonders as a dry shampoo and volumising powder, occasionally for mattifying or when my shoes hurt. Spread a small amount in the palms of your hands and run through your hair, or apply to the roots with a brush.
TipFill a small amount into a pretty jar that fits in your handbag.
Trendy Nude Nude lips with warm undertones and a delicate shimmer were all the rage this year. Lipstick and gloss from Dr Hauschka's gorgeous Limited Edition Chorus have been my daily companions since Fashion Week! Karim Sattar, Make-up Artist in Residence for Dr Hauschka, recommends applying the lipstick and dabbing the gloss into the centre of the lip with your ring finger without a mirror (!). The result is a great nude kissable lip that goes with any eye make-up.
