petrapersonally — Tips & Tricks

12 years ago, we opened our Pixi store in London with a saying in the window: “I just want to look like I’ve had a good night’s sleep” Maybe not much of a marketing plan …but it was true! True to what I wanted to achieve with my brand and true to what I myself wanted to look like. I figured many women like me must feel the same way, and it worked! Everybody who walked past came in and said “What is that product? I need some!” We always have kits, products and colours designed to awaken – one...

    I recently did a photoshoot using all of our new products that are launching right now, plus some Pixi classics.   If you want to re-create this look (shown above), here is what I did step-by-step:     Face primer - I smoothed Pixi Flawless & Poreless, a velvety-complexion-creating primer, all over face.     Eye primer - I used a tiny amount of Pixi Eye Bright Primer from lash line to brow to even out skintone.     Face - I applied the tinted moisturizer from Pixi Illuminating Tint & Conceal in No.2 Bare Glow all over face & neck,...

No doubt I am a hippie in my own mind & soul. I’ve noticed more and more lately that the things I love most in life are free spirited and little "happy crazy". Even my beauty philosophy is kind of hippie-ish…here are some of my personal "beauty rules". 1. I’ve decided NO plastic-fantastic surgery. I will be a very natural aging Brigitte Bardot type - nothing fake, just raw naturalness. I am looking forward to being a little old hippie lady, much like the one below 2.  I often take off my makeup with olive oil. I often get asked...

So I’ve already broken all my new years resolutions! 1.  Get fit – haven't started on this one yet, I’m waiting for that burst of energy so I have to start running...still waiting… 2.  Stress less – just not possible, I thrive on stress it seems….I'll rest on when I'm on vacation instead. I promise. 3.  Lose some Christmas weight – I just baked a chocolate cake for my son…I'll just taste a little piece... 4.  Laugh more – this one, I think I can do! While we're on the subject of living life to the fullest & starting fresh,...

  While I'm sad to see Summer coming to an end, I'm ready to welcome Fall and all that it brings including...back to school time!   It's an exciting part of the year, but also one that can bring a lot of stress - as the mother of a 6-year-old, I definitely know this     Mornings can get very hectic - between trying to get my son fed & presentable, packing a lunch, gathering school supplies, getting him in the car, driving him to school, and so on, sometimes I forget to get MYSELF ready for the day!  ...

  After 20 years of doing makeup I still LOVE to learn. I learn so much from listening to my fantastic makeup artists, product development team, girls in the office, and my sisters & friends.   Makeup artist extraordinare Amanda Bell (who I have been working with since 1999) is one of these people that I learn from. With many facets to her background - skincare expert, makeup school trainer, session makeup artist, and Pixi international makeup artist to name a few - Amanda's knowledge is amazing!   Naturally, when I heard that Amanda had an innovative way to use...

    Skin redness is a big problem for many women - whether it's due to sensitive skin, rosacea, or allergic reactions, it can be a daily issue.   To minimize redness, use a primer specifically formulated to calm hyper-sensitive/stressed skin & that has a hint of green. The green will cut out the red & pink tones in the skin and although it may feel strange to apply a green lotion to the face, it’s a old true & tested makeup artist trick that really works.   Find Redness Reducing Primer at http://www.pixibeauty.com/makeup/complexion/redness-reducing-primer   Our NEW Redness Reducing Primer...

It was a Pixi perfect day at our Pixi Boutique! We enjoyed spending the day with Weylie & some of the loyal lovelies that have followed her (and Pixi!) throughout the years! Weylie had some girl talk with all of them, which was fun and filled with wisdom. Highlight of the day was when Weylie sat down with the girls and had a more personal Q&A. Weylie talked about how she finds balance within her own life, how she has become more confident over the years (both on & off YouTube), as well as how she enjoys using the Dimensional...

    Smoky eyes are always stunning, but can be a bit harsh in the summer light. One of my favourite ways to lighten up a black or very dark eye is by using copper hues! The shade's warm undertones look great with glowing, tanned skin and can really make any eye colour pop!   Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked gorgeous at the Cannes Film Festival with this coppery-bronze smoky eye and a touch of tan on her cheeks.       You just need a few tools to get the perfect copper smoky eye!     Find Mesmerizing Mineral Palette in...

After a Pixi perfect weekend at Generation Beauty San Francisco last week, we enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the water with a few of our favourite lovelies!

Caroline Hirons has been a dear friend of mine for years. When we first talked about doing a collaboration, it was obvious that we would release a product that encourages everyone to “Double Cleanse.” Though it may sound like a lot of work, Caroline and I wanted to make sure that Double Cleanse was speedy and fool-proof for busy women. The solid formulas of both sides make it convenient for travel, with no leakage! I love the Double Cleanse because it is suitable for all skin types.

Some of my favourite tips that Dulce shared are… Spritzing Makeup Fixing Mist on your brush before adding colour (for added, super-long...

When I first began formulating our newest facial oil, Jasmine Oil Blend, I had a few things in mind. First, I knew I wanted to create an oil that was revitalising to the skin, but completely weightless too. The other reasons I love this favourite?

As we transition from spring to summer and the temperatures begin to rise (in most parts of the world), your skin goes through a change of its own.

I’m so excited to share all my favourite benefits of these two must-haves, and how you can incorporate both (yes, in the same day! ) into your skincare routine.

Beautiful brows begin with the right tools! Here at Pixi, we have created some easy-to use products to really simplify brow-perfection. We all love a fuss-free brow application. With Natural Brow Duo, you can complete your brows with ease. One end of this multi-purpose favourite houses an angled, waterproof brow pencil while the other end contains a tinted soft-hold gel for holding unruly brows in place. My tip? If you fancy a natural look, use short, sweeping-like strokes to fill in sparse brow-areas. Or, if you desire darker brows, brush in a zig-zag motion to reveal more colour. Get brows...

Almost every day, we get the question "What is the perfect skincare regimen?" Because everyone's skin type is unique, there's not one single answer to cover all our lovelies' needs. However, if there's one thing you should remember, your skincare routine should consist of at least these three steps: Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturising! And of course, if you’re planning on being outside at all you should always protect your skin with sunscreen. Check out the video below to see our top picks for Pixi Perfect skin this summer. And there you have it. A super easy Daytime skincare routine to get...

We’re in wedding season, and one of the most common questions I receive is how brides can prep their skin in the months leading up to the big day! Besides that extra glow from a few sips of champagne, the key to the wedding-perfect look is great skin. The ultimate Pixi Glow is achievable with a consistent Glycolic Acid skincare routine, and I suggest starting this regimen at least three months before the wedding day. Glycolic Acid gently dissolves dead skin cells to reveal a new healthy glow, no matter what your skin type. You want to look the like...
