The ‘butter skin’ trend has left me looking ultra-smooth, soft and luminous—I’m never going back

Butter skin - Sofia Richie.

Anyone who knows me is aware that I am a dewy-skin girlie through and through... Well, that was until I started travelling through predominantly hot countries last year. It has made me take a step back from uber-glossy textures and lean more towards an in-between space, which straddles matte and radiant make-up. My algorithm must have cottoned on, because over the last few weeks, I kept seeing more and more about "butter skin", and it's a trend that I can wholly get behind.

I turned to Chanel make-up artist, Anna Payne, to find out more. "The butter skin trend focuses on achieving an ultra-smooth, soft, and luminous complexion that looks as silky and flawless as butter," she explains. "The goal is to achieve a natural glow, and subtle and healthy radiance that doesn’t rely on excessive shimmer or highlighter."
