Interview: Malin Lindhwall

Isn't it perfect to interview an makeup artist (except myslef)

to my makeup blog? Malin Lindhwall is one of the best

persons I know. She has two blogs:
shades.blogg.se & mugshots.blogg.se.

Why did you start to blog?
- Because it was fun, but not a must, more a thing

to then when I wish and feel like it. 

Advantages & disadvantage in the "blog-world"?
- Internet is the disadvantage & advantage because it is easy to
talk trash about people but also easy to spread knowledge &
make a name since internet is available for anyone.

For how long have you been bloging?

- More or less about 5 years.

She took me by storm when she first started her internship at Make Up Store.

I quickly realized that this was not just a sweet & nice girl but also

a girl with kick-ass makeup skills. And this is how her makeup career started.

How would you describe yourself?
- Positive, nice, energetic.

Describe your personal style.
- Whaat? Noo...ehh...black clothes

and smokey eyes? Classic?

What's most important to you?
- Friends/family, job, spare time.

What do you study?

- Entrepreneur at my high school.

Plans for the future?

I guess you talk about career etc. but I'm going to answer

to learn to seize the day and live for the moment.

When Malin quite suddenly was thrown into
the makeup artist industry, I thought quite
quickly about all of the benefits & drawbacks that she will
experience in the profession. Malin is strong woman

so the choice of profession was no problem for her.

What's the best & the worst about being a makeup artist?
- Best: To meet a lot of people and play with you creativity. 

Worst: Hard to get a steady job which gives you a secure & good income.

Do you have a special style/makeup style that you prefer?

- Smokey eyes, bright makeups & 50's.

To whom do you recommend this profession 

/ To whom do you recommend not? 

To the ones you recommend, do you have any good tips for 

 success or a good pep talk?

 - Creative people with good social skills & good 

stress management can work as a makeup artist. 

Stress management applies mainly to those who are freelancing.
  Do not recommend to those who want to have fixed times, to 

those who find it hard to meet new people 

all the time, or to those who find it hard to contact new people. 

Pep talk, believe in yourself & work hard as hell, it's fun.

What's beauty for you?

 - Self-confidence & good self-image.

Which are your 3 favorite makeup products?

- Base Prep, Matte foundation, Brushes.

Which are your 3 favorite stores?

- MUS, H&M, Eleven.

Who is/are your idol/s? Where do you get your inspiration from?

- Ehh...from my friends?

Malin has photographed all of the pictures by herself.

Interview: Emelie Sandahl

I'm doing some interviews now with interesting people

who deserves to be in the spotlight.

First is...

be something big in the design world.

How would you describe you personality?
- Giggly, bouncy & wacky!

How would you describe your style?

- 50's bohem princess!

What are the most important things to you?

- Peace, health & kisses.

What & where do you study?

- Productdesign at the university of Linné in Nybro,

the second year of three.

How did you got the idea that you wanted to study this?

- I love glass, porcelain, patterns & fancy things.

I get to design such things in school.

What are the plans for the future?

- To become a happy product designer who spreads lovely things around herself.

What do you wish to design in the future?

- Glass & patterns for textiles.

Is it possible to already buy things designed by you?

- No, not yet!

What's the style of the design you do/like?

- Inspiring (I hope), simple & mischievous!

Where do you get your inspiration from?

- Music, movies, nature...

Emelie has also been bloging since 2005.

It started with the blog bohemica.blogg.se

ago she also started to blog at emeliesandahl.blogg.se.

I asked her some questions about the "bloglife",

first one being why she started to blog?
