In the last few years, there has been a switch-up in our makeup practices. While the contouring, baking and heavily made-up look of yesteryear set the agenda for a while, the move to skinimalism has come particularly welcome as we put aside caked complexions in favour of enhancing our natural beauty.
It will come as no surprise to many that this is the makeup preference du jour. During lockdown, the majority of us forwent our traditional daily application and, once restrictions eased, not only did we seemingly forget how to do the carefully curated faces that we had perfected over many hours of YouTube tutorials, but we didn’t recognise our reflections once we did. Our makeup sat on our dressing tables, untouched and with use-by dates looming.
