Paris Fashion Week is considered one of the most prestigious events in the world (the fashion world that is). The Who's Who's attend in droves to watch the worlds best designers put forward their latest season trends. It’s an event. A BIG event. The type of event that you frock up for and go glam.
But this year, Pamela Anderson decided to buck the trend and go au natural. And we are here for it! Turning up to the red carpet event, without any make up, the 56 year old actress has created a global media frenzy.
Scarlett Johansson is the latest celebrity to praise Pammie for her efforts.
“It’s powerful for women to see other women rejecting standard beauty norms” she told popsugar.
Arriving at the Isabel Marant show with her skin glowing and a confident smile Pamela looked simply radiant. She was bold. She was brave and she showed the world that glowing skin is IN!
In an Instagram post by Jamie Lee Curtis she calls it “THE NATURAL BEAUTY REVOLUTION!”.
Is this what we’re seeing? Do we think society is ready to accept bare-faced women? Honestly……. probably not. But if this message sends hope and influence to mature age women to embrace their face, then it’s a step in the right direction.
As a make up artist, Skin Joy Founder Kristy Jones has always preached a philosophy of skin first. Skin care (and skincare) is an investment that as we age becomes more and more important. Whether you want to go natural or wear make up, healthy skin is vital to both.
The beauty industry has been pushing a natural look trend for years. Kristy herself teaches a no-make up , make up look that can be achieved with the Skin Perfecting Trio. It's perfect for the days where you dont want to wear make up but feel like you need a little lift. With its powerful ingredients of peptides, Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, hyaluronic acid & lactic acid, it’s colour correcting ability will blend into your skin giving you sheer coverage and an even skin tone. It's a great way to build confidence if you're not quite ready to take the plunge and go completely make up free.
At Skin Joy, we wholeheartedly embrace natural beauty and are hoping this is a trend that is here to stay. But it runs deeper then that. It’s not just about the no make up effect. It's about seeing women have the courage to enter a room full of confidence, as themselves. Because,
In a world that often prioritises perfection, embracing who we are can be the most revolutionary act of all.
So, whether you choose to go makeup-free or opt for a subtle enhancement, remember to find joy from within and that healthy skin is an invaluable asset in this journey of self-acceptance.
