Applying Maya Water Facial Mist before make up gives several benefits for a better, more radiant look. MWFM should be a natural selection for your skin after you have applied your daily hydrator, being creams or serums. First of all, the mist soothes, hydrates and cools down the skin, leaving it more elastic and ready to wear powder or fluid make up as a base. Tight and dry skin absorbs make up in a lesser way, giving a poor result where the make up stays visably on the outside, not blending properly with the skin. Having applyed the base of powder or liquid foundation, use some more facial mist to even out the first layer of make up. This will make application of blusher or rouge, lip colour, eye liner and eye make up better and easier. A last shower of the mist is a great way to finish of the beauty routine, getting focused for what is coming - a day at work, a night out on town. Using Maya Water Facial Mist makes the make up longer lasting effect on the skin. Remember to spray regularly for an instant touch up.

The skin will in a tight condition be more fragile and can easier react to certain products when not being hydrated. It is important to take caution when wearing make up.

The make up should always benefit the look, and this is easier using Maya Water Facial Mist in the first steps in your make up routine.

Does the winter make your complexion tired and grey, or was yesterday's party longer lasting and harder than expected?

-Fear not; Maya's Quick Fix Formula is made to sharpen and shine.

Step 1: Start your skin care ritual - as always - with a generous spray of Maya Water Facial Mist. 

Step 2: Apply the Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Masque and let it work for approximately 10 minutes. Spray again with a generous amount of MWFM til it runs. Then clean your skin with a tissue or Kleenex.

Step 3: Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash is one of the most refreshening and brightening eye creams on the market and is perfect for the sensitive eye area. Pat the eye cream on the skin under the eyes. It is important to pat it to start the sirculation in the skin and you will feel the swollenness decrease.

Step 4: Kiehls Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate is a extremely active and reduces both pores and lines. It contains pure vitamin C.

Winter will not feel as long when using the Quick Fix Formula!

Maya Water Facial Mist can be a booster to your favourite skin care products. Serums, creams and oils will easier blend into the skin when it has been prepped with a generous spray of spa water. If you need glow or an energy boost, or just want to add hydration and antioxidants, the range of facial mists covers every need.
The mist cools down, soothes the skin and gives it more elasticity. Dry, tight skin will never absorb hydrators like elastic skin. MWFM will give your skin care products more of their money's worth. There is no point having expensive products if they will not perform as good as they actually can.

Spray your face, neck and hair before applying any products. Let the mist absorb, then apply your base being oils, serums and eye creams. You will feel it is much easier applying oils and serums. On dry skin these products do not even out as easy, and you will have to use more to get the same effect. Follow with the hydrator. If you think your cream is too heavy or thick, it is possible to use MWFM as thinner. Put the cream in the middle of your palm and spray with MWFM - then apply.

When all products have absorbed, spray a generous amount of mist over face and neck.
Remember to use MWFM twenty times during the day. You will then see a great difference in the appearance of your skin and complexion.

Many people who are introduced to Maya Water Facial Mist come with the same comment: "Why not splash your face with water from the sink?

There are many reasons to why Maya Water Facial Mist uses pure Norwegian spa water as key ingredient in the range of facial mists. As one of five producers of spa water facial mists world wide - the only one of its kind with a whole product range of mists with antioxidants, it is important to teach our customers the benefits and fantastic effects spa water has on our skin and what it does for our wellbeing.

Maya Water Facial Mist Pure, Avéne Thermal Spring Water, Evian Facial Spray, Roc and Vichy Thermal Spa Water Spray are the only products on the market using thermal spa water in their mists.

Maya Water Facial Mist is the only one in the world combining thermal spa water and active antioxidants from white tea, goji and acai. Other brands producing aerosol spray mists with active ingredients do not use thermal spa water.

Being the only manufacturer of aerosol sprays creating products with these ingredients puts Maya Water Facial Mist in a league of its own.

MWFM's unique product range combines the best of two worlds, producing short-traveled, 100 % organic and natural products.

Here are some of the most important reasons why MWFM chooses to use thermal spa water in the products.

Spring water is a product deriving directly from mother earth. It is as pure as water can be - nurtured by nature, and no chemicals or conservatives have been added. The water has a natural percentage of active ingredients that has been added due to its continuous contact with the earth and soil. These are minerals, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulphates, etc. The human body, coming from the same soil and the same earth, is made with equivalent natural ingredients and will automatically respond better to pure products and pure foods. Spring water is vivid water.

Distilled water contains chemicals and conservatives, making it a modern, dead product.

The distilled water will automatically dry the skin, while the natural spa and spring water binds hydration and is automatically soothing. This makes the mist a great product for your make-up regime and touching up, being used together with your skin care products, cleaning your skin from sweat, impurities and polution, sharpening and focusing, etc.

The skin, being a natural product itself, will always tolerate the pure and natural best. We are striving to produce a product true to nature in every step of the process. The water from our source, Skogshornkilden, is tested on a regular basis, securing its quality.

Our products are approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. They are so pure you can eat them. All MWFM products are 100 % Norwegian.

MWFM is now available at Magasin du Nord in Denmark at Kongens Nytorv, Lyngby and Aarhus

A makeup artist friend, Pammy, introduced Maya water facial mist to me a few months ago and after using the product throughout the course of the day I could feel a huge difference in my skin! Usually after a day under hot lights and heavy makeup my skin feels tired and irritated but instead it felt really refreshed and somewhat soothed. Before Pammy had started my makeup she sprayed it over my face as it helped to lock in moisture resulting in my makeup looking fresher for longer as my skin was perfectly hydrated. I have been hooked ever since, and as you might have already guessed, it makes the perfect travel partner.

The product itself is sourced in Skogshorn, Hemsedal in Norway and it couldn't be purer. The water here has a natural percentage of active ingredients due to its contact with the soil. These ingredients can be incredibly beneficial to skin, especially when living in the world we live in today. I live between two of the most polluted cities in the world, London and New York, and I am well aware of the impact this has to my skin. Growing up in the countryside I never had a problem with my skin until I first moved to London and it was exposed to city life. The active ingredients in the mist such as Calcium, Pottasium and Magnesium help to protect and resist against those environmental factors that can have a impact on your skin making it seem that I never left the country.

Maya Water Facial Mist

 – Huden er et kart du kan lese. Holder du den ikke fuktig, ser den tørr og mer rynkete ut, sier hudpleier og makeup-artist Maya Guldbrandsen.

Derfor har hun utviklet et kildevann som du kan spraye huden din med både mens du sitter ved pc eller om bord i flyet, Maya Water Facial Mist. Boksens dyse sprer vannet lett og jevnt og gjør at du holder huden fuktet – uten at eventuell sminke blir skylt bort..

Nå er hun på vei til å stjele markedsandeler fra andre lignende produkter.

 – Det som er spesielt med dette sprayen, er at den i tillegg til rent norsk kildevann fra Skogshorn, også inneholder hvit te, gojibær og acai.

Sprayen kommer også i reisestørrelser på 70 ml. Fås kjøpt på blant annet Høyer i Norge, Illums, Magasin du Nord i København, Liberty i London og i nettbutikken Covershop.cover.dk, SpiritBeautyLounge.com og Makestyle.no. Pris: 179 kroner for spray i reisestørrelse.

Translated version of the excerpt from the article (in English):
 

Maya Water Facial Mist

- The skin is a map that you can read. It will look dry and more wrinkled if you don’t keep it moisturized, says beautician and makeup-artist Maya Gulbrandsen.
 

Therefore, she developed a thermal spa water called Maya Water Facial Mist, which you can spray yourself with while you sit next to your computer or on an airplane. The cans nozzle spreads the water lightly and evenly and gives the skin moisture – without effecting the makeup.

She is now on the way to stele market shares from other similar products.

- What makes this facial mist so special, is that in addition to containing clean Norwegian spring water, it contains white tea, goji berries and acai.

The facial mist also comes in a travel sizes on 70 ml. You can by it at, among other places, Høyer in Norway, Illums, Magasin du Nord in Copenhagen, Liberty in London, the web shops Covershop.cover.dk, SpiritBeautyLounge.com and Makestyle.no. Price: 179 Norwegian kroner/15 English pounds for facial mist in travel size.

What was it that made Liberty want to sell MAYAWATER FACIAL MIST?

- The products that we look for have to be unique. London is a big city with plenty of department stores that sell a lot of the same products and brands. We at Liberty want our customers to discover different and cool products that the big department stores haven’t picked up yet. Therefore, we take in a lot of products, like MAYAWATER, that most of the public might not be familiar with, but has the possibility to catch on because of it’s quality and uniqueness.

What does your job evolve around?

- My position, as the Beauty Department Manager, basically evolves around taking care of people in various ways. I take part in training employees, customer service, upholding standards here at Liberty and much more. It is a very fast paced job because I work with very many people

Do you have a favourite amongst the different MAYAWATER FACIAL MISTS?

- I do. I use MAYAWATER FACIAL MIST in GOJI a lot in the summer because the natural beta-carotene in the goji berries promotes tanning.

How did you get to where you are today?

- I worked several years in fashion retail when I was quite young, from which I learned valuable skills like how to treat customers and workings of a store. I have also studied Make-up and special effects at London College of Fashion, from which I went on to do work in the beauty industry in different parts and positions, resulting in learning a great deal of everything. And now here I am working at Liberty.

Why, in your professional opinion, should people use MAYAWATER FACIAL MIST?

- The great thing about MAYAWATER FACIAL MIST is that it is an additional product which is very easy to use. You don’t need to change anything about your skin care regime and/or routine to use this product as you might have to with any other products. Of course, the other reason why you should use it is because it gives moisture to your skin without affecting any possible make-up or styling.

How do you make it in the beauty industry?

- Passion. No matter how much experience one has it can’t compare with passion. When I looked for two people to work for Chantecaille here at Liberty I hired two girls because of their passion and enthusiasm for the brand, despite that neither of them had experience in retail. And they went on to do very well.

Maya Water Facial Mist was at the spectacular and inspiring event by Mario Dedivanovic, the man behind the famous contouring techniques for Kim Kardashian herself. We met him in a quite private event in Oslo, Norway. Read more to get to know all of his secrets. 

 An excited and glamorous crowd waiting to get in to finally get to know the secret behind the kardashians fabulous look.

And of course goodiebags are essential in events like these.

 While waiting for the celebrity make-up artist, the curious guest had time to mingle and have a small lunch. You also had the opportunity to get your make-up done at different stands represented by amazing brands like Bitchn' brows, Frøya, Ardeli, Coverbrands and more; and they all welcomed you with warm arms and heart. 

Around 13:25, the man of the hour arrived! Mario had a whole table of make-up and brushes ready to change the entire face of this model through his famous contouring techniques. 

Before Mario makes her face FIERCE AND PHOTOREADY. 

A lot of international guests were present under the event; which only reflects how talented Mr. Dedivanovic is, the man has fans all over the world. A true inspiring make-up artist!

And then it began! He revealed at once that he never uses a primer. The crowd became a little more than confused, but was given the explanation that Mario does not like to use more products than necessary. He then continues to tell us about how a good moisturizer is the perfect base for all make-up. He used Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. The reason for this is that hydrated skin will prevent the make-up from becoming "cakey" and dry! #MWFM is perfect in this instance, both to hydrate the skin before make-up, but also to fix if your makeup becomes dry and tired. This will give you the picture-perfect look the kardashians has; the look that we all aim for. 

Mr. Dedivanovic then told us that his absolute favourite foundation at the time is Bobbibrown. He preferes the cream foundation, simply because it gives off a more natural look, and again: it will not crack and dry thoughout the day. Bobbibrown is basically very fatty, and therefore it's a perfect weapon against uneven and unclean skin! He also adds that he loves the Shaping Cream Foundation from Armani. He contiues by telling us repeatly that by using an oily foundation, your skin will glow more and more throughout the day. The way to perfect skin is through an oily foundation!

For contouring, Mario uses the contouring kit by Anastasia. The essential goal of contouring is light, and you will literally need to be a painter of the face! Use the dark colours where there is shadow on your face, and the light colours on the highlights; thereby you will create a dramatic and fierce look. The darkest colours were used under the cheekbones, on the nose bridge, and even under the chin. To highlight, he used a very light yellow from Bobbi Brown. Then he blended with a damp sponge. A damp sponge is gentle and will not irritate your skin. He topped everything with a powder from Smashbox. 

One of his last moves were a blush from Too face, and a highlighter from Charlotte Tilbury. Then to end it all he sprayed a hymid blender spray to blend all the hard edges, and to get that natural look! 

Voilà!

HERE ARE SOME TIPS FROM MARIO DEDIVANOVIC HIMSELF:

1. NEVER use a primer. Primers will hinder the skins natural oils, instead use a moisturizing cream! This will stimmulate and hydrate the skin, and when the natural oils comes out; you will glow! The oil from the make-up and from the skin will mix togheter to give you the picture-perfect look!

2. When you draw your brows, never draw too much on the inner part. If you do so, your eyes will look closer together, and we do not want that!

3. NEVER fix your brows in a straight line if you want to go for a more feminine look. 

4. When you fix your fake lashes, leave some room inbetween; or else it will end up looking fake!

5. Love bronze and gold eyeshadow, it will give off a glamorous and feirce look.  

6. USE MAKE-UP ON ALL VISIBLE SKIN. This might not show in real life, but it's dreadfully visible in photos. Mario uses makeup even on the ears, neck (remember the back of the neck), and hands!

We at MAYA WATER FACIAL MIST is still in awe of the work done by Mario Dedivanovic. Only good memories were created watching him do what he do best. We are truly happy to have been part of this great event.
