8 questions for Saskia Müller
UND GRETEL Saskia, when did you discover your passion for makeup?
Saskia Of course, like any good makeup artist, I should say, "Since childhood!" But my passion actually came a little later. Of course, I loved wearing makeup as a teenager—especially light blue eyeshadow. But my true enthusiasm and admiration didn't really come until I was 19, when I earned my additional qualification in skin care. During this time, I also experimented with different makeup options for difficult skin (e.g., acne) to cover up such critical areas. I love the creativity in this job and the aspect of bringing out the best in every face.
UND GRETEL How would you describe your style?
Saskia I would describe my style as natural yet expressive. Simple, yet detailed makeup is my approach to makeup, which makes my clients happy.

AND GRETEL What does beauty mean to you?
Saskia: For me, beauty absolutely comes from within. Everyone has their own special 'self' and their own body language. If I can make that special 'self' shine even more with makeup, I know I'm doing the right thing.
UND GRETEL Let's be more specific: Which makeup piece could you and your clients never do without?
Saskia My favorite makeup piece is bronzer. No matter how pale my complexion is or how tired my skin looks, a light bronzer instantly makes my face look fresher and healthier. I'd also recommend concealer, which can make minor imperfections simply disappear.
UND GRETEL In general: Which makeup tool do you think is overrated and which is underrated?
Saskia: In my opinion, the 'beauty sponge' is completely overrated. I can also apply products beautifully with a good foundation brush, the right technique, and the warmth of my fingers. In my opinion, the right product for eyebrows is underrated. Brows shape the face particularly well and should therefore always be optimally showcased.

UND GRETEL Which is your favorite UND GRETEL character and why?
Saskia My current favorite is the LIETH Foundation . It has a fresh, light texture and gives you a real boost of freshness.
UND GRETEL Saskia, and when was your first UND GRETEL moment?
Saskia My first UND GRETEL moment was actually quite a while ago. It was when a colleague told me about the brand. After that, I started to look more into UND GRETEL's natural cosmetics and even ordered and tested products. I simply fully support the production, the ingredients, and the processing. Something that's very important to me.

Saskia
Tip No. 1
Even before you apply the LIETH Foundation , you can reduce small redness with the TUNKAL Concealer by lightly dabbing your matching shade onto the affected areas.
Tip No. 2
The LIETH Foundation can be spread evenly on your face if you warm it up on the back of your hand beforehand.
Tip No. 3
TUNKAL Concealer is perfect for dark circles under the eyes. Gently dab it under the eyes. Voilà – tiredness seems to disappear!
Tip No. 4
For a beautiful sunkissed look, apply the SUNNE Lifting Modeling Powder in the shade BERO with the bronzer color to all the high areas of your face—cheekbones, tip of the nose, chin, and forehead—exactly where the sun would naturally tan your skin.
Tip No. 5
For an even more intense glossy lip look, my tip is to apply two coats of KNUTZEN Lip Gloss . Give it a try—it makes a difference.
