It’s officially a trend. How do you feel about that?
When it comes to wearing makeup they say “less is more,” which was obviously the philosophy this year at Paris Fashion Week. Many models took the runway wearing little to no makeup, showing off fresh, natural faces instead of complexions caked with layers of foundation, blush, bronzer, and everything in between. A refreshing breather.
Fashion Week runways aren’t usually where we pick up low-maintenance beauty tricks, but this season has been ripe with easygoing inspiration. Nowhere was this more apparent than at the Spring 2014 Balmain show during Paris Fashion Week. Top models like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Georgia May Jagger (albeit young and naturally gorgeous) sauntered down the runway wearing little more than a dab of concealer.

The runways continued to make a case for just how cutting-edge minimal beauty can be—and there might be logic to support the claim. During the fall 2013 shows, when we began seeing the bare complexion, makeup artist James Kaliardos said he imagined it would be the way women looked in the future. At that time, he added, our society would be so advanced that we would have all the know-how and technology needed at our fingertips to look our best without the extra embellishment cosmetics provided. But I think that the ritual of applying makeup would be lost.

So, I’ve decided to embrace this trend and get ready for Spring makeup Break especially after seeing the photos of famous people braving the look. If they can do it – so can I. While there are probably quite a few women who will go with this trend wholeheartedly and hope that it’s here to say — I’m sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to get on board with it every single day – just on occasion.
