Scandi Girls have everything we want. At least we think so. They are fashionable and they always look beautifully styled. Of course they have a few secrets for that – and we'll tell you. With these five tips, you can style yourself just like the Scandinavians.
Foundation is not a must
The Scandi Girls have long since discovered that foundation doesn't always have to be. Even if beautiful skin plays a major role, many tend to use concealers to compensate for imperfections. At least in everyday life. There are now even concealers that are intended for the whole face. So the skin still looks super natural and you can still perfect it. The Swedish model Elsa Hosk, for example, always uses two colors so that the result looks perfect. She shows how she does it on the Vogue YouTube Channel.
Skindetox
Sauna and Scandinavia somehow belong together, right? And the sauna is also the reason why the Scandinavians generally have such great skin. It's like detox for the whole body. In the sauna, blood circulation is stimulated, which provides the skin with optimal nutrients.
Less is more
The Scandinavians follow the "less is more" philosophy. They tend to rely on skincare basics rather than complex beauty routines with countless steps. And when it comes to make-up, they usually keep it easy. No blatant eye make-up, no elaborate contouring and no fake lashes. Of course there are exceptions here as always – but we don't put on make-up equally for every occasion, do we ?!
Blush, blush and more blush
If there's one thing that Scandinavians adore despite their philosophy, it's Blush. A lot of it is allowed on the face. But not too pink or too dark, please. It should look as natural as possible – a rosewood tone is always a good choice. Victoria's Secret Model Elsa Hosk not only applies the blush on the cheeks, she also puts the remains of the brush on the bridge of the nose, so the nose looks a little sun-kissed.
Defined brows
The Scandinavians often wear their eyebrows a few shades darker than their hair. This gives them a super defined face and a casual look. Bushy, dark brows often make the face look a bit edgier. Fittingly, the rest of the make-up is rather withdrawn, which makes the brows come out very strongly. We love it – and want to copy the look right away. But be careful: Eyebrows that are too dark and, above all, balky are no longer beautiful. Balance is the magic word! That is why our Scandi Girls often use powder or gel – this is how the brows still look natural and not too painted.
