Behind Golden Hour with our Product Developers

There’s something undeniably magical about the golden hour, the brief moments just after sunrise and before sunset when the world is bathed in radiant light. It’s nature’s most flattering filter and was the muse behind Natio’s latest collection: Golden Hour.

To give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look, I sat down with the creative minds behind the collection - our Product Development team - to uncover their inspiration, favourite products and a few hidden gems you won’t want to miss!

Kerith, can you tell us what inspired the Golden Hour collection?

This collection was inspired by nature’s most flattering light and is a celebration of the golden flowing light, low on the horizon that bathes the world in warmth preceding sunrise and sunset. The range is all about embracing this beauty and letting your unique features and your inner beauty shine! 

Nikki, you were the main developer behind the collection, what are some hidden gems we might not know about it at first look?

The Eyeshadow Book has a removable mirror! You can pull it out and pop it in your handbag and voila! – you have a travel ready mirror. Plus, the Cream Bronzer can be used so many ways - on your face or eyes. As a makeup artist I’m all about multi use products, especially ones that give you an overall bronzed glow.

What products are you loving most from the range and why?

Eliza – My top pick is the Luminous Gold Glow Drops! They give a radiant, dewy finish that I love. You can mix them in with your moisturiser or foundation for a bronzed glow. The ingredients are also great for hydrating skin – Kakadu Plum, Rosehip extracts and Shea Butter! It’s a new must-have in my makeup bag.

Lisa – I love the Colour of the Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeliner! The soft shimmery brown shade adds a subtle touch of glam to the eyes. It’s so soft and easy to use. We also formulated it to dry quickly to avoid smudging for easy application.

Clara – My faves are the two Lip Oils in Pink Sunset and Solar Kiss. We made them with Jojoba, Coconut and Vitamin E, so they hydrate and condition your lips instead of drying them out. I love that it provides the perfect gloss, shine and colour while being a non-sticky formula – no more getting your hair stuck in your lip gloss!
