It's 2025! Yippee!
The start of a new year absolutely always comes with the beginning of many self-promises that either never come true or are promptly forgotten right after they are made.
One thing is for sure though, we still have to keep our best foot forward and that includes making sure we look our best everywhere we go....and that includes us professional women too - we need to look and feel our best regardless of where the brief or project tosses us.
Let 2025 be the year we prioritize self-care, confidence, and effortless beauty.
Here are 10 beauty resolutions I'm embracing and I really suggest you embrace them too.
1. Embrace a Simplified Morning Routine
Save precious time by streamlining your beauty routine. Create a go-to beauty routine that includes a mix of sincare, makeup and hair products/tools with minimal products and never deviate from it. Invest in multitasking products like matte foundations that have a powder-like finish, cream blushes that can be used as lip tints, eyeshadow sticks/pencils that double as eyeliner, and oils that are great for hair and body. The result? A polished look in minutes!
Pro Tip: Try Zaron Chisel'd for makeup & Arami Glow Oil for body and hair. The All-In-One palette with multi-functional products for a professional finish FAST.
2. Invest in High-Quality Skincare
Your skin deserves the best! Say it again - My skin deserves the best. You better believe it because great skin is the foundation of any beauty routine. Build a day and night-time skincare regimen with the basic skincare essentials to deliver hydration, treatment, protection and moisture. To deliver this, you need to purchase tried, tested and true skincare products.
Did You Know? Regular use of SPF can prevent 90% of premature ageing caused by UV rays. I'm loving the Uncover Aloe Invisible Sunscreen.
3. Master the Art of Power Makeup
Create a signature look that’s both timeless and versatile. For every day, wear a soft neutral eye paired with mascara and nude lips, and for power presentations, wear a strong statement lip, which can also transition seamlessly from meetings to after-work events.
Quick Hack: Use long-lasting products to avoid touch-ups during the day. My trick is to apply my red lipstick in 2 layers i.e. apply lipstick and dab dry with a tissue until it sets and looks like a stain, then I reapply the lipstick all over my lips again. My red lips stay all day and into the night.
4. Prioritize Scalp and Hair Health
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Incorporate scalp and hair treatments like Ayurvedic herbs or DIY options with oils like tea tree or argan oil. Schedule regular trims to keep your hair looking polished, and be sure to maintain clean hair and scalp to avoid itching.
In 2025, learn to incorporate weekly washday into your routine.
5. Clean Out and Upgrade Your Beauty Bag
Audit your makeup bag every quarter. Yes! Audit it! Is there any lipstick you haven't used in the last 3months? Any broken eyeshadow from 2024 that you said you'll re-purpose to coloured liner but haven't tried out in 6 months? Pencils that there is literally nothing left or it just keeps breaking? Toss them all out! Wash the bag and keep the items in it at the barest minimum. Think an elevated version of you and put products that will help you achieve this and not products for a red carpet glam. A clutter-free, clean bag makes your routine faster, more effective and safer.
Tip: If you struggle with a cloth bag, why not try a plastic one which is easier to clean like this Uncover beauty bag
6. Commit to Regular Self-Care
Pamper yourself weekly with at-home facials, DIY manicures, scalp massages or a relaxing bubble bath I(if you have a tub 😊). These small acts of self-care help keep you present, calm and very ready to tackle the week ahead.
Try This: Use a sheet mask while prepping for your Monday meeting or right before you go to bed. I really like the Uncover Aloe Vera sheet mask. It is very soothing and deeply hydrating. Great for after a stressful day.
Bonus: Say Yes to a Professional Makeup Class
No, not for red carpet events or a night out, but perfect for simple everyday, elegant glam. You do get what you ask for so be on the lookout for these kind of specific classes or even how-to content.
