No‑Makeup Makeup Trend Dominates Red Carpets as Experts Dismiss In‑Flight Face Masks

The leading beauty trend this season is natural‑looking skin, often called “no‑makeup makeup.” Celebrities such as Zendaya, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber have showcased the look on recent red‑carpet events, favoring fresh, radiant complexion over heavy contouring and full‑coverage foundations.

Skincare professionals also caution against a popular travel hack that suggests wearing hydrogel or textile facial masks on airplanes. Dermatologist Jekatěrina Nag​y advises travelers to keep skin care simple – hydrate before the flight, use a barrier‑forming cream with ceramides or shea butter, and apply SPF before boarding. Light makeup, like a BB cream, is recommended if any coverage is desired, while extensive masks are deemed unnecessary.
