Seduced to go out: Anna's glam and chique look
Feb
No sooner have we arrived in the new year than there are already the first parties to celebrate. Whether it's a ball in Vienna, a gala in Zurich or a press event in Berlin, we want to look glamorous and feel really good! Good thing we have beauty expert Anna Baumgartner: She reveals her beauty routine before, her make-up secrets for and her skincare routine after an event, like here at the Annabelle Prix de Beauté 2017.

Beauty Routine
As the saying goes - preparation is half the battle! A bit hackneyed, but in this case the saying is quite true: make-up makes us look even more beautiful when the skin underneath is cared for and nourished, in a word prepared for the make-up:
For clarifying and cleansing care, Anna uses the Global Face Trio by Lina Hanson (CH Shop, EU Shop). Firstly as a peeling to remove impurities and dead skin from the face, neck and décolleté and then as a mask for particularly clear, radiant skin. Extra plus: Thanaka, a powder made from the bark of the Indian crab apple tree, minimises pores and clarifies the complexion!
An ideal addition to this is the Kypris Glow Philtre Mask (CH Shop, EU Shop), whose deeply nourishing ingredients revitalise the face, firm the skin and leave it soft and fresh.
With the Tamanu Repair Oil from Safeas (CH Shop, EU Shop) soothes Anna's cleansed facial areas and strengthens the skin's protective function.
The intense oils, from argan, yuzu and avocado oil to pink grapefruit, in Lina Hanson's Body Oil (CH Shop, EU Shop) ensure a soft skin feeling and a beautiful shimmer that lasts the whole night.
Anna's tip:
"If my facial skin feels uncomfortable, I moisturise it throughout the day before an event with either Whamisas Organic Flowers Olive Mist (CH Shop, EU Shop) or, if it is prone to blemishes or inflammation, with the Hydrating Floral Essence from Tata Harper (CH Shop, EU Shop)."
Make-up
"It's all about that glow!" A fresh and healthy glow is more trendy than ever and nourishing make-up products are just the thing for this:
There's no need for unsightly blotchy skin or annoying make-up lines! That's why Anna recommends a product with a liquid or creamy consistency. Her choice is INIKA's Liquid Foundation (CH Shop, EU Shop). Apply a small amount to the back of the hand and then work it evenly into the skin with a brush, sponge or your clean fingers.
Instead of a concealer, our beauty expert uses the Illuminating Eye Cream from Tata Harper (CH Shop, EU Shop), which makes tired eyes look awake and highlights the eye area at the same time.
In the next step, Anna fixes her make-up with Tata Harper's Hydrating Floral Essence (CH Shop, EU Shop) and gives your skin additional moisture and freshness.
Instead of blusher, she opts for a Bronzer from Dr Hauschka and provides that certain extra glow INIKAs Light Reflecting Crème (CH Shop, EU Shop), which is used as a highlighter.
Eyes
Natural and yet exceptionally beautiful Dr Hauschka's bronzer also as eyeshadow. It is best to apply an eyeshadow base so that it lasts a long time and does not settle in the crease of the eyelid. Anna uses a small amount of the INIKA Foundation (CH Shop, EU Shop).
Dr Hauschka's Liquid Eyeliner in brown frames the eyes and still makes them look beautifully natural.
Long, full and thick eyelashes are conjured up by the Plume Science eyelash serum (CH Shop, EU Shop) that the eyelashes for the mascara - INIKA (CH Shop, EU Shop) or Dr Hauscka's Volume Mascara - prepared.
Lips
The Rosey Lip Balm from De Mamiel (CH Shop, EU Shop) intensively nourishes the lips with calendula, nightcap and monoi oil, prevents dryness and creates an ideal base for a moisturised lipstick. Lip & Cheek Tint by Tata Harper. Anna's favourites are the colours Very Vivacious (CH Shop, EU Shop) and Very Naughty (CH Shop, EU Shop).
Hands and arms
For soft hands and arms Safeas Olive Hand Cream (CH Shop, EU Shop) and well-groomed nude nails succeed with Lily Lolo's nail polish in Coral (CH Shop, EU Shop).
Finally, Anna wears the Soapwalla deodorant (CH Shop, EU Shop) that won't let you down in any situation and also nourishes and protects your skin.
As soon as (1) the skin is prepared, (2) the make-up is applied, (3) the hair is done and (4) the right gown is chosen, nothing stands in the way of a wonderful event!
Care routine
After a hopefully successful, but also exhausting night and the extra portion of make-up, Anna treats her skin to intensive care.
To remove her make-up, she uses some of Safeas Olive Cleansing Milk (CH Shop, EU Shop) and carries it with a Dr Sponge (CH Shop, EU Shop) - an all-purpose weapon with which even stubborn eye make-up is no problem.
Instead of a night cream, Anna uses an intensive mask. Depending on her mood, she either uses Safeas honey mask (CH Shop, EU Shop), to Tata Harper's Moisturising Mask (CH Shop, EU Shop) or to Whamisas Hydrogel Mask (CH Shop, EU Shop) in combination with a thick layer of Safeas wheat germ mask (CH Shop, EU Shop).
Far too often forgotten and actually the main protagonists of such an evening are our feet, which literally carry us through the evening. The best remedy for stressed legs, feet and toes is Safeas Mint Foot Balm (CH Shop, EU Shop). The mint it contains refreshes, lavender calms and rosemary stimulates the circulation - a power combination to get you going again the next morning!
