The Danish makeup style is typically understated but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of cosmetics being used. Do you have any idea how much makeup it takes to achieve a “no-makeup” look? A LOT. So even the most minimalist look has its fair share of products.
Whether you’re into colorful looks, natural ingredients, cruelty-free products, or just need a new day-to-day concealer, Danish brands have what you need.
These are the Danish make-up brands to know, from high-end to very affordable:
Kjær Weis
Founded in New York City by Danish makeup artist Kjær Weis, Kjær Weis has quickly become a darling of the those in-the-know of the cosmetics industry. Her formulas are organic but are still long-lasting and high quality, and the packaging is to-die-for. All items can be refilled; the refills cost less than the original products, so you save money over time.
