December is most certainly the time for a dramatic make-up look; from Christmas parties to New Year’s Eve nights out, the end of the year calls for sparkle, glitz and glamour.
However, come January, trends start to shift; suddenly, it’s all about barefaced beauty. Forget a heavy contour and smokey eye – January calls for fresh, glowing skin, with just a hint of colour. We’re fully embracing this beauty trend at The Hut, and have the definitive guide of must-have products and techniques to achieve the natural, ‘no-makeup’ look…
A barefaced makeup look calls for a beautiful base, and there’s no better way to achieve soft skin than with a daily cleansing brush. Our personal favourites are the Magnitone Barefaced Vibra-Sonic Daily Cleansing Brush and the Foreo Luna Facial Cleansing Brush, both of which leave skin feeling smooth, supple and polished. Daily use of these cleansing brushes clarifies skin providing a healthier, toned complexion, whilst removing impurities and unclogging pores.
Barefaced beauty demands a flawless, airbrushed complexion, and your foundation plays a huge part in this; we’re loving the EX1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Liquid Foundation to achieve a flawless base.
EX1 Cosmetics recently proved the power of the no-makeup look when they gave Kylie Jenner a make-under. Known for her razor-sharp cheekbones and unapologetic pout, EX1 Cosmetics transformed Kylie Jenner into a fresh-faced beauty – a look you can now emulate at home.
The EX1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Liquid Foundation is enriched with light-diffusing particles which detract attention away from wrinkles, lines and blemishes, giving the appearance of perfect skin – a makeup bag must-have!
Don’t forget to keep shine under control with a professional powder – the EX1 Cosmetics Invisiwear Compact Powderis the perfect finishing touch to your flawless base. Using a soft, fluffy brush, sweep this finely-milled powder in circular motions across your nose, cheeks and forehead for a subtle hint of colour.
Leave heavy contouring in 2015 and instead opt for a peachy glow; dust the EX1 Cosmetics Blusher onto the apples of your cheeks for a healthy pop of colour this January. With a non-pore-clogging formula, this blusher feels lightweight and effortless on the skin.
