Silverpenseln and Guldpenseln 2023
Silverpenseln and Guldpenseln 2023
We’re excited to announce the theme of this years Silverpenseln, a competition we host annually for our partnering schools in Sweden. This year’s theme is “DIVERSITY MEETS CREATIVITY”. Two highly important aspects of being a makeup artist and something we aim to push for more. For us, diversity means embracing all skin colors, all genders, all ages, all personalities. And this is very important to keep in mind when competing in this year’s Silverpenseln.
All students of our partnering schools are welcome to compete and we urge the teachers to lift the topic in the classroom the best way they can. Reach out to us if you have questions or need inspiration!
Silverpenseln
The task for the students is to create a look that is diverse in its core and that shows the students own personality as artists. The final look should show the use of makeup products in a creative way and be aligned with trends the student wants to see in the beauty industry. The student must also give a short statement on how they have integrated diversity in their look and why their look should be the next big trend in makeup. The look must be made using products from FÄRG MAKEUP only. Exceptions are made in regards to products not available in our range such as eyelashes, hair products etc.
Round 1, school’s finest
The main stylist teacher of the school decides who will pass the challenge and selects up to nine contestants that are submitted to the competition. The contributions will then be posted on our social media where our followers votes on which candidate will win in each school selection. Each look should have 3-5 sentences describing the students thoughts on the look they’ve created, which will be posted along with the images of the contributions.
The winner goes through to the finals in Stockholm and gets to compete against all other competing schools, live during our event BeautyHack day.
Deadline to submit contestants is Friday 17th of February at 10am. To submit your students work email us on silverpenseln@fargmakeup.com. Winners will be announced on the 28th of February.
Finals, Silverpenseln 2023
The students with the highest score from round 1 will win the possibility to represent their school in the finals where the student recreates their look to a live audience. In this round we want to see an added surprise element to the look and a higher lever of technique!
A grand jury will decide which contribution wins Silverpenseln 2023 based on the criteria of technique, execution, how well the students have combined colors and the overall look. The finals takes place live at BeautyHack day and will be livestreamed on social media.
The jury of 2023 consists of TBU, TBU and TBU.
Guldpenseln
