Fresh Faces and Fluffy Brows: Trends That Are Mum-Life Friendly
As a busy mum, finding the time to stay on top of ever-changing beauty trends can feel like an impossible task. Between school runs, housework, and everything else that you're juggling, having an extensive, hours-long beauty routine is not always realistic. Yet, feeling good about ourselves in the quiet moments we manage to snatch back is so important. For all the hardworking mums, we have good news. This year's beauty trends are all about minimalism, healthy glow and embracing those natural looks. They're definitely mum-life friendly. Here are a few to consider.
Fresh-Faced Makeup
Remember the days when we would apply layers of foundation, blush, lipgloss, and more, like we were preparing for a runway show? Those trends are far behind us. Today, it's all about the fresh-faced look. It's picking up in popularity mainly because it matches a busy lifestyle. This look is all about less is more — think barely-there foundation, a little mascara, and a swipe of neutral lip gloss for that slight touch of glamour. This touch of natural makeup is perfect for school runs, soccer practice, grocery shopping - really anywhere your day may take you!
The Fluffy Brow Revolution
Gone are the days when overly sculpted, sharply defined brows were all the rage. Now, it’s all about the fluffy brows. This trend embraces your natural eyebrows, even if they're on the thicker and bushier side. Ideally, the fluffy brow trend is about setting your brows in an upward direction using a special brow gel, embracing its full shape rather than trying to create an artificial one. It's quick, easy and mummy-proof. Bye-bye brow pencils, hello effortless beauty!
Multi-Purpose Beauty Products
Multi-purpose beauty products are a mum’s secret weapon. Products that serve more than one purpose not only save you time but also cut down the number of items in your beauty kit. Imagine having a single stick that works as a lip balm, cheek colour, and shimmer eyeshadow. Or an all-in-one face wash that cleanses, exfoliates, and tones your skin. In a world of constant multitasking, it turns out your beauty products are expected to follow suit.
SPF Integration
We all know the importance of protecting our skin from harmful UV rays. As mums, we ensure our kids never forget their sun hats and slather on their sunscreen. But how often do we forget our skin? Luckily, many famous beauty brands incorporate SPF into their products, making it easier for us. So, moisturisers, foundations, and even lip balms come with added SPF. By using these products, you can effortlessly add sun protection to your beauty routine.
Hydration Over Contouring
Remember, not so long ago, when contouring was the key to nailing that perfect makeup look? Turns out, hydration is the new contouring. Hydrated skin emits a natural glow, which is in high demand these days. Simple healthy habits such as drinking plenty of water and moisturising your skin can make you look just as radiant. Plus, you don't need that extra time in front of the bathroom mirror.
Mums worldwide have enough vampires on their time, causing stress in their lives – beauty routines should not be one of them. Personal care should be an effortless, enjoyable part of your day. With these trends, it absolutely can be. So, move over, overlooked mum! You can have your cake, and eat it too — with these mum-life friendly beauty trends.
