Remember the thrill of discovering a new lipstick shade or that perfect flush of blush that made your cheeks glow? Sometimes, life gets busy, routines take over, or we just feel a little unsure about experimenting, and makeup can start to feel like just another part of the morning.
The month of love is the perfect time to fall back in love with makeup. Whether you’re rediscovering old favourites or trying something new, small changes can make a big difference.
Refresh Your Routine
Before trying new shades or products, take a moment to refresh what you already have. A little tidy-up can make your routine feel inspiring again:
- Declutter your collection: Remove old or dried-out products and give forgotten favourites another go. Clearing out clutter always makes your kit feel lighter and easier to work with.
- Clean your kit: Once you’ve decluttered, it’s time to give your makeup tools some TLC. A quick clean of your brushes can make a huge difference to your look and help your products last longer. Our Brush Up Cleaner makes it easy to freshen up brushes in minutes, so they’re ready to blend, buff, and bring your makeup to life.
- Rediscover your favourites: That lipstick or highlighter you haven’t used in months might just become your go-to again when paired differently or applied in a fresh way.
- Treat yourself: Adding even one new product can make your routine feel exciting. Sometimes, a small change — like a playful lip colour or a soft cream blush — can make a morning of makeup feel like a little treat.
Tip: Even subtle tweaks, such as trying a new brush or experimenting with layering, can make your routine feel brand new.
Reignite Creativity with Colour
Makeup should be enjoyable. Trying new shades, textures, and placements is one of the best ways to fall back in love with your routine:
- Try new combinations: Pair colours in ways you haven’t before - a peach blush with a rosy lip, or a warm eyeshadow with a soft highlight. Small shifts can give a surprising difference to your look.
- Play with textures: Creams, balms, and light powders are forgiving and easy to blend, making experimentation stress-free. You can build your look gradually to suit your mood.
- Have fun with placement: Slight changes in where you apply blush or highlighter—higher on the cheekbones, closer to the temples, or along the nose—can make your look feel fresh and modern.
Quick tip: Try adding one new colour or adjusting placement once a week, it’s an easy way to keep your routine feeling fresh.
Pssst... If you’re thinking of trying something new, our Blush Balms launching on the 25th of February are perfect for a quick, buildable flush. Smooth, mess-free, and gentle on the skin, they make it easy to add a little extra glow.
Makeup as Self-Care
Makeup doesn’t have to be just a routine step. It can be a moment to take a breath, enjoy a few minutes for yourself, and give your confidence a boost:
- Create a little ritual: Play some music you love, make a cup of tea, or take a few quiet moments just for you.
- Experiment for enjoyment: Try a new placement for blush, layer products in a different way, or play with colours you wouldn’t normally wear. It’s all about enjoying the process.
- Notice the difference: That subtle glow, the swipe of a fresh lip colour, or the shimmer on your cheeks can make you feel instantly refreshed and more confident.
Mini challenge: Pick one product this week that you usually overlook and find a new way to use it. You may just rediscover a favourite.
