Forget glass skin, the fad of yesteryear that made women’s faces look like freshly polished windscreens. Now it’s time for ‘butter skin’. an innovative concept that combines glamour with the essential need to look delicately buttery at any time of day.

It was model Aisha Potter who, with a digital spatula on TikTok, dared to lay the foundations of this culinary-cosmetic revolution. Her secret? Products that melt so easily you could spread them on your face. Say goodbye to compact powders that are too dry and old-fashioned! Here, we’re celebrating ointments, creams, dripping fluids – in short, anything that leaves a soft imprint on the epidermis, like a lump of butter left on a radiator in the middle of August, perfect for parties like the Dernier Tango in Paris.

The promise? A complexion as luminous as a lump of butter under a supermarket neon sign. All with a touch of sensuality for skin as soft and creamy as a freshly baked brioche.

Experts agree that this trend could go even further. Some influencers are already experimenting with ‘margarine skin’, while others are advocating ‘glow mayonnaise’, where the light reflects so well off the skin that it’s impossible to distinguish the forehead from a hollandaise sauce.

So, are you ready to embrace this creamy trend? But don’t forget: like all things that shine, the buttery skin has its downside. Too much enthusiasm and you could end up being mistaken for a lump of ‘Bordier’ left on a picnic table. Good stuffing, sorry buttering to all, as for me, I’ll be holding my bimbo’s basket. No ?
