Evolution of global beauty minimalism and holistic wellness
Overview
The beauty sector is evolving toward ‘skinimalism’ and ‘slow beauty,’ emphasizing intentionality, sustainability, and holistic health. This movement prioritizes skin health through internal factors like nutrition and sleep, alongside topical care. Recent shifts show a transition from the highly reflective ‘glass skin’ aesthetic toward ‘bloom skin,’ which prioritizes skin barrier health and a radiant, healthy appearance from within.
Makeup trends are moving toward natural, textured, and spontaneous finishes. A new ‘shy makeup’ trend, influenced by Milanese runways, emphasizes natural elegance and luminosity through subtle, inconspicuous application. This includes using blush with extreme lightness to create a ‘watercolor effect’ that blends seamlessly with the skin. Similarly, the ‘anti-blush’ movement favors muted tones, while the Korean-inspired ‘cloud lips’ or ‘blurred lips’ trend replaces sharp liners with soft, velvety finishes. Other techniques include ‘athletic blush’ for a post-exercise look and ‘Eye Maxxing’ to highlight the iris.
Product innovation focuses on hybrid textures that merge cosmetics with skincare. New formulas, such as Armani Beauty’s Dolci Blush and NARS’s Light Reflecting Luminizing Blush, combine cream-like or serum-powder textures with ingredients like gold algae extract and Vitamin E to protect the skin barrier. Skincare approaches are also moving toward non-aggressive, regenerative methods, such as Keramin treatments using proteins and amino acids, and the traditional Japanese Kobido facial massage, which serves as a non-surgical alternative for improving skin tension and facial contour.
