Miild makeup: sustainable, allergy-friendly and just beautiful.

Nov 27, 2017 | 5 comments

When I was in Copenhagen last weekend I was so lucky to get to meet Tanja who is co-founder of the Danish makeup brand Miild. You guys know, that I’ve been wanting to test out their products for so long, and I finally got the change to do so! I’ve been testing the products for a little more than 2 weeks on a daily basis (and to a party too), and I’m very satisfied with both quality and durability. What speaks to me the most about this brand is that they take responsibility and try to be innovative when it comes to packaging and nasty chemicals all while not compromising with the quality. All the packaging you see on these pictures are from reused cardboard, and when you’re done with your products you can even recycle the cardboard containers. I think that’s pretty cool! Just think about how much plastic the beauty industry is polluting our planet with each year. The fact that this is a Danish brand makes me very happy and proud too.

I forbindelse med vores tur til København forrige weekend var jeg så heldig, at have fået arrangeret et møde med Tanja som er medstifter af makeup mærket Miild. I ved, at jeg længe har talt om at ville teste deres produkter, og det fik jeg her mulighed for, hvilket jeg er super glad for! Jeg har nu testet produkterne i lidt over 2 uger både til hverdag og en enkelt fest, og jeg er meget tilfreds med både kvalitet og holdbarhed. Dét der tiltaler mig allermest ved mærket er, at de tager ansvar for og forsøger at være innovative omkring emballage samtidig med de forener mindre brug af kemi uden at gå på kompromis med kvalitet. Alt emballage du ser på disse billeder er genbrugs pap, og når du er færdig med dine produkter kan de smides i din pap container. Det synes jeg er ret sejt! Tænk, hvor meget plastik skønhedsindustrien hvert år forurener vores planet med. Og det faktum, at det er et dansk mærke der går forrest med dette gør mig også lidt glad og stolt.

During my meeting with Tanja she laid down all the products on the table, so I was able to feel them and try them out. I was really surprised about the pigmentation, which I know means a lot to many beauty-gurus on social media. The products are so soft and easy to work with, and then they are allergy-friendly and thus without perfume and other nasty chemicals. This doesn’t make the product less luxurious though! It’s hard for me to pick out just one favourite, but the products I’ve been most excited about is the eyebrow kit, the concealer and the powder. And I LOVE the names on all the products! you can really tell that this collection means a lot to the girls behind. The powder is an organic, oven baked powder which I use on my entire face. Normally I would only use powder to set my under eye concealer and a little in the t-zone where I tend to get shiny, but this powder doesn’t make you “powdery” at all which makes it perfect for the entire face! It’s soaked up by the skin in a beautiful way, and it makes my face so fresh and natural. Then there was the beautiful highlighting bronzer Apricity which sadly was sold out at the time I met up with Tanja, so I need to get my hands on that some other time. I tell you, it’s soo pretty!

Under mit møde med Tanja lagde hun alle produkter ud på bordet, og jeg fik lov til at teste dem og røre ved dem. Jeg blev rigtig overrasket over pigmenteringen, hvilket jeg véd er noget de fleste skønheds-guruer på de sociale medier lægger højt vægt på. Produkterne er bløde og nemme at arbejde med, og så er de allergi-venlige uden parfume og alt muligt andet unødigt kemi. Jeg synes dog slet ikke det gør produkterne mindre luksuriøse – tværtimod. Det er svært for mig at udpege en favorit, men de produkter jeg har været gladest for indtil nu er øjenbryns-kittet, concealeren og pudderen. Og så er jeg vild med navnene på produkterne! Pudderen er en økologisk, ovnbagt pudder som jeg bruger i hele ansigtet. Normalt ville jeg kun påføre pudder under øjnene for at sætte concealeren samt i t-zonen hvor jeg har tendens til fedtet hud. Men denne pudder gør dig slet ikke “pudret” og mat at se på! Den trænger smukt ind i huden og jeg synes den får mit ansigt til at se friskt og sundt ud. Og så var der selvfølgelig den smukke highlighter/bronzer Apricity som desværre var udsolgt, så den må jeg have fingrene i på et andet tidspunkt. Jeg siger jer, den er flot!

One last thing I am very excited about is, that the products are multi-purpose which means you can use for example all the blushes and the eyebrow kits as eyeshadows too. I also like putting the light highlighter Gloaming on my lid! Besides that you can apply a lip balm and then tap on some blush for extra colour on your lips. You can follow the girls on their blog HERE and Instagram HERE. Be aware that everything is in Danish though. I’ll make sure to make a video real soon where I show you how I use their products. Until then I hope you feel inspired to reconsider your beauty habits! You can’t order internationally yet unfortunately, so maybe you should check out the brand Elate or 100% Pure if you feel like changing your makeup game for the better. Haven’t tried any of them myself, but it’s brands you guys tipped me about along the way on my channel.

En sidste ting jeg er rigtig begejstret for er, at produkterne er multi-funktionelle hvilket betyder, at du fx sagtens kan bruge både blush og øjenbrynskit som øjenskygger også. Jeg kan også godt lide at lægge den lyse highlighter Gloaming på øjenlåget! Udover det kan man tage en læbepomade på, og duppe lidt blush på læberne for at give dem lidt farve. Du kan følge Tanja og Tine og få en masse lækre skønhedstips på deres blog HER og på Instagram HER. Jeg skal også nok lave en video hvor jeg viser jer hvordan jeg anvender produkterne, men indtil da håber jeg, at I vil dykke lidt mere ned i Miild’s univers! Du kan iøvrigt købe deres produkter i udvalgte Matas butikker rundt om i landet, fra Matas’ webshop og på deres egen webshop her.
