Transparent makeup is the current trend

The revolution of transparent beauty and all the new products to discover

Transparent makeup is the current trend The revolution of transparent beauty and all the new products to discover

Just like fashion trends on the runway, make-up also changes and evolves across different eras, cultures, and seasons. In 2024, we are witnessing a significant and unprecedented shift. While beauty enthusiasts were once adamant about their commitment to the "full face" total coverage a few years ago, today, they may not be so certain. The keyword dominating social media is "glass skin". This trend isn't limited to skincare alone; it extends to makeup, and the two routines are merging more and more, blurring the thin line that once separated them.

Products that blend make-up and skincare

In a context where the trend of "treatment make-up" has experienced significant growth recently, Biologique Recherche is reintroducing its renowned range of "Sérums Teintés" with the goal of combining the benefits of skincare treatment with the luminosity of makeup. Biologique Recherche's new serum creates a natural effect with a real shield on the skin's surface against pollutants and free radicals. The result? Hydrated and protected skin from external aggressors, appearing more even, luminous, and radiant. Consider also the new technologies characterizing current foundations, such as the "Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation" by Shiseido, enhanced with skincare active ingredients. However, the main goal of this new trend is to achieve a "make-up no make-up", a subtle, light makeup like a film and as shiny as glass. But what are the right products to achieve hydrated and luminous skin worthy of an excellent "transparent make-up"?

A texture that make-up enthusiasts cannot do without these days is undoubtedly the gelatinous one, similar to that of gummy candies. A perfect example is MILK's new blush, the "Cooling Water Jelly Tint", characterized by "a moisturizing gel finish that glides on the skin to add a touch of translucent and buildable color." To achieve this effect, many users also prefer Benefit's "benetint" or Tarte's "Maracuja Juicy".

@christxiee These new @milkmakeup cooling water jelly tints are probably the most INNOVATIVE thing of 2024 but also they deliver one of the most long lasting blush I have ever tried Check them @sephora or Sephora.com on 2/6 #MilkMakeupPartner #LiveYourLook original sound - Christie X

In short, the keywords are "jelly" and "subtle," but there's another type of blush taking over on social platforms. We're talking about "PH reagent" products that react to the skin's PH, such as the "transparent" blush from Banana beauty, "Sun in a pot".

If you're looking for a moisturizing and glossy finish, like that of a film gently caressing your face, matte foundations and full-coverage concealers are not your allies. Many prefer colored primers, often containing pearlescent elements.

One such product is "Halo Glow Liquid Filter" by E.L.F., a illuminating liquid that enhances the skin's look, creating a blended and radiant effect. Promising a luminous and slightly covering result are also Charlotte Tilbury's "Hollywood Flawless Filter" and Erborian's "CC Cream HD".

Why is transparent makeup changing the beauty era?

@volpi_nana Vi parlo del trend beauty che riguarda il makeup trasparente, grazie all’ultimo prodotto lanciato da @milkmakeup, le cooling water jelly tint, vedremo questa texture sempre piu spesso. #transparent #clear #makeup #trend #trendforecasting #beauty #beautytrend #beautytrendforecastpt #transparentmakeup #clearmakeup #milkmakeup #jellyblush #sheer #sheermakeup #coolingwaterjellytint #trasparente #truccotrasparente #makeuptrasparente #greenscreen suono originale - Anna Volpi

First and foremost, it's essential to specify that transparent face makeup has always existed, considering "soap brows" or gloss. However, in recent times, pigment-free bronzers and eyeshadows are gaining popularity, like the versatile "baume essential" by Chanel, useful for recreating the "wet skin" effect. Beauty creator Anna Volpi questions why there has been such a sudden change in the cosmetic industry: "Finally, the skin positivity movement has made us realize that a new approach to make-up is needed. Freckles, acne, vitiligo, and other skin conditions that were once considered flaws are now valued as unique elements, and transparent makeup can be very useful for this purpose, as it enhances us without covering."

Oscars Night: Emblem of the no make-up make-up

@beautycrewau From #BillieEilish’s voluminous blowout to #Zendaya’s old Hollywood bob, here are the best beauty monents from the Oscars red carpet. #oscars #oscars2024 #redcarpet YES AND X CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD - ALTÉGO

This new trend of simplicity and elegance doesn't seem confined to device screens and our social media feeds. The Oscars Night has given us clear examples of this "new" beauty trend. From Jennifer Lawrence to Emma Stone, Margot Robbie to Billie Eilish, the keyword seems to be one: "naturalness." Super nude eyeshadows, almost imperceptible lipsticks, and sparkling cheekbones with a creamy finish blush: these are just some of the main ingredients that have brought Hollywood actresses' looks to life on the world's most famous red carpet. The change in direction is evident, thanks in part to movements and slogans launched by the actors themselves recently, embracing a new narrative of beauty that reconnects with the self, as taught by Pamela Anderson and Millie Bobby Brown. What do you think? Do you like this new aesthetic, or do you remain faithful to the years of extravagant and elaborate make-up?
