Cloud Mascara Launch Event In Stockholm

It’s near-summer in Stockholm, which means there’s a palpable excitement in the air for the warm days ahead. On Wednesday, June 15th, we hosted a lunch at Dramatenterassen to celebrate our newest mascara addition, The Cloud Mascara. A product that has been in the making for over 2 years before turning out perfect.

On the warm day in June, our closest friends and industry colleagues descended in Stockholm City to fete our newest addition over a beautiful summery lunch, over-looking Nybrokajen.
The lunch was intimate and Sweed’s founder and Creative Director, Gabriella Elio, spoke to all guests about the Cloud Mascara and the story and passion behind it. “The Cloud Mascara is like a piece of René Magritte art! It will take your lashes to surrealistic lengths and volume beyond your imagination,” said Gabriella.

Among the group of guests were Leyglow, Pamela Granholm, Jannike Nordström, Clara Hallencreutz Fares, Anitha Clemence, Rebecca & Fiona and many more — all in all, a group of women with serious beauty knowledge and style.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU WORKED AS A MAKEUP ARTIST? “I've been a makeup artist now for 16 years and I've worked internationally for about the last 10 years.” WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SWEED PRODUCTS? AND WHY? WHERE ARE YOU BASED? “I'm currently based in the US and I work all over the world actually. I'm often flown to Europe and I was flown back to my home country of Australia last year for a job, but I honestly am open to clients booking me anywhere right now and I'm just really enjoying all the opportunities that come my way.” FAVORITE MAKEUP LOOK? "I just got back from Paris Fashion Week and one of my favourite looks that I created was on Barbara Palvin for the Balenciaga show and it was a beautiful metallic brown liner look, and I know there's a shade called Golden Beetle in the Sweed line and you can use it to recreate the look." FAVORITE BEAUTY HACK? “My favourite beauty hack is to create glass-like skin, and by doing that you really wanna create hydrated base and then you want to dust over the foundation. Just very thinly and then you can really just press the product into the skin and the skin will look supernatural and glowing and gorgeous. And I feel like when your skin looks amazing and glass-like, everything else is going to follow.“ TIPS FOR MAKEUP LOOKS ON MATURE SKIN? “So I have a lot of mature age clients, everything from 40s to 80s, and I really like to keep the blush super high on the face. And I try and create like a triangle shape, so just on the top here, across the cheekbone and then up into the temple, and what that does is it really lifts the face and it gives a more youthful appearance.” ANY ADVICES FOR ASPIRING MAKEUP ARTISTS? "If you're an aspiring makeup artist now the. Internet is the best way to get your work across to people from all different countries and different age groups. So I highly recommend collaborating with other creatives and creating beautiful content that you're really proud of and practising. Practise makes perfect, and trying to work on different skin tones, different skin types, different age groups. And I actually got the best practise from working on weddings because when you're working on weddings, you have to do all different types of skin and you're under pressure, you have to work quite fast and it can be highly stressful, and once you get those practises under under your belt, then you can really become a very skilled and experienced makeup artist."   Shop Tobi's favorites Sweed products here.
