BEAUTY EDITOR SECRETS: 2025 BEAUTY GOALS
There are all kinds of intentions we can set at the start of a new year, but have you ever considered setting goals when it comes to your beauty routine?
Beauty editor Bahar Niramwalla takes us through some valuable time and money-saving beauty goals for the year ahead in another edition of our series, “Beauty Editor Secrets”.
CONSUME LESS
As each year passes, extensive, multi-step routines are gradually becoming replaced by simplicity for many. Walk away from the long, complex routines & use products that do multiple things in one shot.
Products to try:
Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Refillable Cream Moisturizer
A whipped, buttery antioxidant-rich moisturizer that provides deep, long-lasting hydration while brightening & evening skin tone for a soft glow. It contains cloudberry seed oil – an antioxidant-rich superfruit with vitamins C and E to brighten and even skin tone; CoQ10 – a powerful antioxidant that strengthens and helps skin retain moisture; and a Peptide Lipid Complex – a powerful antioxidant that strengthens and helps skin retain moisture.
Make Up For Ever HD Skin Sculpting Palette, bestselling Make Up For Ever HD Skin Face Essentials & the NEW! Make Up For Ever HD Skin Blush and Glow Palette
Within each targeted palette, there are 12 products with a range of purposes and shades. At approx. $120, that's $10 each, which means you now have varying shades, products & textures to play with for at least a year, versus purchasing a single $40 cream blush, for example! All of these palettes include cream-based ultra-blendable formulas that give you a long-lasting natural finish.
CONSUME DIFFERENTLY
I think many of us can relate to a beauty drawer filled with product that we simply don’t use. So why not organize a swap? They’re not just for clothing! Organizing a swap of appropriate products with friends & co-workers is a great way to try something new without spending and also having your unused items potentially go to someone who will actually use it versus ending up in a landfill.
CONSUME CONSCIOUSLY
More and more brands are aiming to offer up options that are better for you, the planet & even for humanity – all you have to do is look!
Product to try:
This is the brand’s Oceanly Daily Sensitive Skin Routine & Oceanly Radiance Skin Mini Ritual set which includes a mini serum, a day cream, a night cream for the face and an eye cream to treat and moisturize the skin.
CONSUME WITH *YOU* IN MIND
Culling your routine to the items that actually make you feel good & keep you looking like you versus feeling the need to apply specific products to achieve a trendy look. Consume for your true beauty self. For example, if you like skincare, let your skin shine through! If you love lashes, then only apply mascara, not the liner.
Products to try:
This radiant moisturizer is truly the ultimate quick fix for skin – available in two shades. It’s super-powered with potent botanicals, vitamins, and a big dose of green tea to boost dull skin. It also doubles as a liquid highlighter, brightening and clarifying skin with iridescent particles. The result is a gorgeous soft glow. Apply directly to skin as you would your moisturizer. For that extra glow, pop on top of the high points of your face as a highlighter.
MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Every-Wear All-Over Face Pen
A multi-use concealer pen with medium-to-full buildable coverage and a natural matte finish that is transfer-proof, waterproof and wears for 36 hours. Use to spot conceal blemishes & undereye circles or use all over to correct redness and even skin tone. Infused with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and caffeine, this formula applies, builds and blends easily. Available in 33 flexible shades.
