Summer is all about simple regimens, but at Reflekt, we believe in simplicity year-round. To help keep our autumn as fuss-free as the dog days, we’re bringing these minimalist beauty trends with us into the cooler months ahead.
1. Short, naturally polished nails
TikTok’s ever popular “clean girl aesthetic” may be trendy for others, but for us, it’s always been a lifestyle. Short, properly groomed nails are a huge piece of that, especially ones that are polished off with a clear coat or nude color. It’s a sophisticated, timeless look that knows no season.
2. Glowing skin sans foundation
To truly perfect an effortless look, naturally glowing skin sans foundation is key. Though taking care of your skin may seem complicated, it shouldn’t be. Our regimen is proven to deliver healthy, radiant, pH-balanced skin (i.e. not too dry, not too oily, just right) in just four simple yet effective steps. After three weeks of use, one of our customers shared: “This is the first time in my adult life I've felt beautiful and confident without makeup.”
3. Flushed cheeks
A subtle flush to enhance your natural beauty is all it takes to breathe life into a “no makeup” makeup look. For more of a matte look, consider a powder blush (recommended for oily skin) and for a dewy look, try cream blush (recommended for dry skin). Simply apply a touch of whichever you choose and you’ll be good-to-go.
Tip: If using a cream blush, make it work double duty by popping it on your lips.
4. A simple, everyday lip
While there’s always a time and place for a gorgeous red lip, our go-to everyday style is a neutral rosy pink lipstick or liner with a little lip balm on top. It’s the perfect finishing touch without looking overdone. One of our personal favorite hues? Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk.
Spoiler: we have something silky smooth and nourishing launching this month to help with this one. Any guesses?
5. Air-dried hair
Though this one may not be for everyone, skipping the hot tools every once in a while is a low-maintenance must. Simply apply some hair oil, serum, mousse, or whatever works to help enhance your natural hair texture and let those locks breathe. Embracing your natural style, whether straight, wavy, or curly, is very “in” for fall.
Tip: Consider an up-do on days you let your hair air dry. A slicked pony, intentionally messy bun, a loose braid, or claw clip style can work wonders to make you feel more put together with low effort (and less potential heat damage).
