Loved by all the beauty addicts all over the world, Pixi <strong>SS 20 collection<\/strong>, will be completely new and fresh, will follow the beauty trends of the future to create a whole new category of unmissable products. To discover everything about it, we met <strong>Amanda Bell<\/strong>, global director of brand education and artistry that\u2019s been working with Pixi for over 16 years. Let\u2019s read what she confessed to us:<\/p>\n<p><strong>TBS: Amanda Bell, you\u2019re an amazing make-up artist as well as a great trend hunter: What do you think will be the next trend in the beauty industry? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AMANDA:<\/strong> For me, the next trend will be the marriage of skin preparation and colour, so that people don\u2019t differentiate between skin treats and their foundation and complexion colour, the two should work perfectly together, so the skin looks like the best it can. Spring\/Summer 20 is not about things looking necessarily like makeup, it means that when you\u2019re using a formulation that blends perfectly to the skin people compliment you on your skin and you\u2019ll be like \u201cHey it\u2019s makeup!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B73x5mFpzQm\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>TBS: Will the new Pixi Collection be all about this trend?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AMANDA:<\/strong> Of course! The new collection is all about this because it\u2019s got some amazing ingredients which really work beautifully in skincare as well as colour and we even developed a whole new category! So, at Pixi skincare is called skin treats because we treat the skin, taking the principles of skincare and putting colour treats to them. With colour treats you get the same level of quality and ingredients you\u2019d get with skincare: for example, in our complexion primers, you\u2019ll find liquorice, caffeine, antioxidants from lemon and orange which plump the skin with hydration. After that, your foundation will glide on beautifully!<\/p>\n<p><strong>TBS: Which is your favourite product of this collection? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AMANDA:<\/strong> Honestly, that\u2019s like asking to choose a favourite child! So, to be completely transparent I\u2019m vegan, I\u2019ve been vegan for eleven years and vegan beauty is something I\u2019m so passionate about and there\u2019s the next generation of vegan lipsticks, which are part of the new collection, that are phenomenal! They\u2019re moisturizing, they\u2019re really colour pigmented and their aroma is from pomegranate and orange. They\u2019re so fantastic you could put them on toast!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7oWPh5JBv4\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>TBS: If someone had never tried Pixi before, which are the three products a person should have? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AMANDA:<\/strong> First, I have to say that modern life is full-on, we are all living our lives hundred per cent, 24\/7, so quick fixings are gold! Then you should have our sheet masks, they\u2019re biodegradable, they contain Vitamin C, caffeine and ferulic acid so they\u2019re really hydrating and instantly make a difference to our skin. The other thing is the Priming Oil, this is really unique and it\u2019s a combination of sunflowers, turmeric and carrot oil so it is anti-inflammatory, brightening and hydrating, it\u2019s like a Harry Potter potion! You just need two drops of it after your skincare or before makeup (or mixing them with your foundation) and it will give you an amazing moisturizing and smoothing effect! Finally, I\u2019m not going to rebel, and I\u2019ll tell you again that you\u2019ll need our vegan Naturellelip lipsticks!<\/p>\n<p><strong>TBS: Do you think that people believe in this new trend of combining skincare and makeup or we\u2019re still not into it that much? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AMANDA:<\/strong> Truth is that sometimes it takes people a little bit to get round to your way of thinking, but I think it would be really silly to think people are not so much more educated about beauty than they were even five years ago. More and more people are really passionate about what they\u2019re using on their skin and they\u2019re really starting to research ingredients and trends. Skincare and colour should be like food for the skin, and people know it yet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born in London more than 20 years ago, Pixi by Petra is the beauty brand that is revolutionizing the way [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":326974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326971"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/45"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326971"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326971\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":326976,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326971\/revisions\/326976"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
