True Beauty: The No-Makeup Trendby Miryam Muller
MARCH 18, 2015
Today’s consumers are increasinglyskeptical of brands who paint anunattainable vision of beauty.
As a result, the beauty industry focuses on amore humble approach and returns to natural,authentic beauty, promoting a healthier set ofideals for woman and teens. Embracing theidea of real beauty, brands use less retouching,instead, imperfections are celebrated andmake-up free faces are trending on both anaesthetic and ideological level.
Truth and transparency is a growing issue. Asconsumers continue to question theingredients of products they put on their skin,we are seeing a rise in DIY, eco and organicbeauty approaches. Parabens and sulphatesare the anti-buzzwords. Instead, pure, ethicallysourced ingredients and customizablepackaging are what appeals to today'sconscientious luxury consumer.
Emily Weiss, founder of cult beauty news siteInto The Gloss, has launched her own beautybrand, Glossier. After having spent three yearsbuilding a community around her editorialplatform, Weiss started to feel that nobody wascatering to the needs of her readers. Shelaunched Glossier with the philosophy that lessis more, creating a range of products aimedsquarely at the Millennial market.

aspiring to finally arrive at some idea or picture ofperfect, untouchable glamour", Weiss declared in
her editor’s letter. "We’re laying the foundationfor a beauty movement, one that celebrates realgirls in real life." Products of the Glossier line
include; moisturizer, facial mist, skin tint and
skin balm that are packaged in minimal pink
tubes with a set of emoji-like decals so that
customers can personalize their tubes.
Dutch cosmetics brand Ellis Faas has recently
launched a line of beauty products that mimic
real body tones to enhance natural skin tones.
This is not the neutral ‘no make-up’ look of
Bobbi Brown’s 1990s, but cosmetics based on
human colors already present in the skin. Ellis
Faas lipsticks are literally blood red.
Ellis Faas says, "That may sound a bit scary, butit’s the most natural red color to use on yourface." Faas also mentions an available shade of
purple that mimics the color "when blood comesto the surface of the skin" and a blue that was
inspired by the "turquoisey-green blue which is inthe veins." She says, "It’s all colors that shinethrough your skin naturally."
On the runway there was a natural, barely-
there trend emerging. At Marc Jacobs, “no-
makeup” makeup actually meant just that—no
mascara, no foundation, nothing. At shows like
Jason Wu and Tory Burch, makeup artists used
pinky-nude lipstick and blush for a more barely-
there look.
The True Beauty trend is for the modern
woman who has a desire to be more in control
of what she uses on her skin and wants to look
real. Fake beauty is not desirable anymore.
Instead she wants to go for a truthful look,
using tools and product that give her a stronger
connection to herself and her beauty-routines.
