New Year, New You – Beauty Resolutions for 2021

29th December 2020

We’ve almost made it to the end of 2020 and what a year it’s been! If you’re anything like us, you’re probably ready and waiting for 2021 to make an appearance. While we may not have a massive New Year’s party to plan some glam looks for, we do have time for some self-care.

This is the perfect time for some self-reflection, self-love and laying down the groundwork for some achievable new year beauty resolutions. Gone are the days of trying to commit to a year-long workout routine or abstaining from alcohol for a month. We’re here to embrace positivity and ensure we enter 2021 pampered and feeling refreshed.

So put on a face mask, light a candle and get comfy while we go through our top beauty resolutions that we’re aiming to keep long into 2021.

Cleanse, Cleanse, Cleanse

You don’t need any bougie beauty tech to make yourself feel pampered and give your skin some love – just commit to regularly following a simple cleansing and moisturising routine and stick with it. The new year is an excellent time to go through your cupboards and throw out any old products you’ve been hoarding (we know they’re in there!) and swear off makeup wipes.

Opting for a double cleansing routine – using an oil-based cleanser first and then following up with a water-based product will have you well on your way to perfect skin.

For some extra pampering, add a weekly or monthly facial mask to turn your skin care routine into a self-care routine.

Own the 5 Minute Makeup Routine

We admit it; we’re makeup addicts – but we know that time is precious and simplifying your morning routine can go a long way to helping remove stress from your day. Stick to statement essentials so you’re ready for anything the day may bring; a bb cream or light foundation (or none if you’re glowing), mascara, blush, a quick brow groom and a swipe of lipstick are all brilliant basics that you can apply without much thought in the morning for beautiful results.

Spending a few minutes at the weekend applying a nail polish will help coordinate your look through the week and give you another excuse for a pamper session.

Wear More Colour and Experiment

Step out of your comfort zone and embrace a whole spectrum of colour. We’ve all become creatures of habit, especially during long lockdowns, but the simple act of experimenting with different makeup shades and colours can help you push the boundaries and step out of your comfort zone. Swiping on a different shade of lippy in the morning can go a long way to change up your look and your confidence that day.

It might seem a bit daunting at first – but we’re here to make it easier with 30 different lip and nail shades suitable for every skin tone, so you can be confident that when you do feel like you want to change up your day-to-day look, you will look great.

The only way to find out what makes you feel good is to experiment, so pop on a new shade and make a statement in 2021.
