YOUR BEAUTY MOTTO?

Be confident in who you are and highlight what you think is your best quality. Don't try to erase things.

IF YOU WERE A BEAUTY PRODUCT, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?

I would be a chubby lip crayon that I could use on my lips and my cheek—I love multitasking. Le Lipstick - 90’s Model, it's kind of amazing, kind of everything.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY ON THE SWEED TURTLE TRIP?

Baby turtles and the sound healing were truly special. That place!

WHERE’S YOUR HAPPY PLACE?

I mean, look at this place! I think I’ve found my happy place here in Costa Careyes. India is also my happy place. I believe it’s so important to travel—to expand your mind and heart through new experiences. If you have the opportunity to travel, go for it. Always keep an open mind and heart, and be receptive to other cultures. It truly fills you in a way that's magical.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS AND WHY?

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE LOOK YOU EVER CREATED?

I’ve been really lucky to work on some iconic photo shoots, magazine covers, and red carpets. It’s hard to choose a favorite! But I think the most memorable body of work for me was the Barbie press tour.

WHAT'S YOUR BEST BEAUTY HACK?

Interview: Andrea Soriga

  Meet our Sweed friend, Andrea Soriga! A Milan-based celebrity hairstylist and beauty icon, Andrea shares his expertise and creative vision with a growing community of hair lovers worldwide through Instagram.  We had the honor of celebrating The Hair Serum launch in Milano with Andrea, hosted by our friends at Sant Ambroeus Milano, and took a moment to catch up with him while he shared his beauty secrets. Shop Andrea's favorites Sweed products here. WHEN DID YOU STARTED AS A HAIRSTYLIST? I started working as a hairstylist ten years ago in my hometown, Cagliari. I’m from Sardinia. MOST SPECIAL MOMENT OF YOUR CAREER? The moments I remember most from my career are definitely the Sanremo Music Festivals, which I hold very close to my heart, and the MET Galas, which were truly special experiences. FAVORITE SWEED PRODUCT? My favorite product before this new launch used to be the Eyelash Serum, but it has definitely been surpassed by the new Hair Serum.     FAVORITE LOOK TO DO? Among my favorite looks is a sleek bun or a ponytail. I love creating super neat, tightly pulled-back buns because I think they make the face look more angelic, clean, and lifted. I also really enjoy doing big blowouts. BIGGEST HAIR TREND AT THE MOMENT? One of the current trends I absolutely love is, without a doubt, light, natural movement, soft waves. To make the look more special, I like adding a styling product that gives it a slightly wet finish. I also really love the bob, a shorter haircut. ANY ADVICE FOR ASPIRING HAIRSTYLISTS? The advice I would give to anyone who wants to start this profession is to do it with passion and perseverance, to study hard, to stay dedicated, and never feel completely satisfied, because you should always keep chasing improvement and success. Nothing comes without at least a bit of effort.   Shop Andrea's favorites Sweed products here.
