Glass skin refers to a translucent and luminous complexion. Rather than applying heaps of makeup, the glass skin look emphasizes using light makeup that’s built upon well-hydrated skin. Before applying makeup, you may want to throw on a sheet mask or spritz some hydration mist.

A great product for that seamless, foiled, wet-looking shine that celebrities’ skin have, this is a cult-favourite highlighter for a reason. It blends into the skin beautifully, and doesn’t have glitter chunks. The sheen it gives is so realistic and uniform that it looks like your own skin, not a highlighter. Plus, this comes in several shades, so it looks very natural on the skin. What’s unique about this one from Algenist is that it’s half glycolic acid and half nourishing oils. When shaken it creates a cloudy emulsion that should be left on clean skin for ten minutes; applied with a cotton round and washed off. The hybrid approach to the formula not only gives you a super clean surface, but the added oils nourish and moisturise which definitely comes in handy as you really want to keep the skin sufficiently hydrated to achieve that glossy finish. While the first two factors are irreversible to some degree once they’ve happened, the last factor — clogged pores — can be improved significantly with the help of oil-controlling skincare products. By dissolving excess oil — or oil that can make pores appear larger than they really are — sebum-regulating skincare products can impart the appearance of smaller-looking pores, and get you one step closer to the poreless appearance for which glass skin is revered.This virtually flawless skin state is a rather lofty goal, of course. While you’ve probably seen glass skin flaunted on your social feeds, Kinsler says it’s crucial to remember that “what we see on social media and advertising are filters, makeup and great products!” In other words, the glass skin we so often see is not necessarily the natural, just-woke-up skin state we’re led to believe it is. That said, there are a few steps and crucial skincare habits, as well as ingredients to look for, that can amp up your skin’s wattage for a glass-skin glow. Makeup products for glass skin need to be smoothening, glow-imparting, but lightweight. Cakey or matte products aren’t ideal for this look, as it is all about that skin-like, wet-looking glow. A lot of celebrities opt for glass skin makeup today, be it Jahnvi Kapoor, or glass skin queen, Alia Bhatt.

With extended use our skin had much more clarity and radiance without any drying whatsoever. Even if you’re not on this mission with us, this is a wonderful choice if you’ve tried chemical exfoliants in the past and not had the best of success as it’s the personification of tough and love. that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including, but not limited to, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising); Highlighters illuminate skin and give the ultimate shimmery, glass-like effect. Liquid highlighters work best when trying to achieve a dewy and radiant appearance. Otherwise, cream or compact highlighters like CLIO’s Prism Air Highlighter offer similar shimmery and translucent brilliance with a smooth finish. Apply highlighter on the cheekbone, brow bone and Cupid’s bow, and apply just a smidge on the bridge of your nose and center of your forehead.Using your fingers to pat highlighters into the skin is also important, as the warmth of your fingers helps products melt into the skin more naturally as compared to a brush. Still one of the most underrated face lotions in the market, this gives a beautiful lightweight but wet-looking glow to the skin. Ideal for sensitive and dehydrated skin, applying this makes your skin feels like it’s been splashed with water. Healthy glowing skin will never go out of style and it was still one of the most popular make-up looks at the autumn/winter 2019 fashion shows. 'Glass skin', the exaggerated take on the trend originating from South Korea, refers to a particularly glossy and radiant skin finish - the likes of which you've probably seen all over social media.

When you think about glass, you imagine this even and smooth surface, so glass skin is that super reflective skin finish, like water, rather than anything that's too metallic," says Wolff.

I'm obsessed with liquid products as they give the most incredible glow-from-within finish. Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid, in particular, gives you fresh 'just out of the spa' skin."

And, while you might think you need to layer on lots of highlighting products, the secret to glass skin is how you apply your illuminator, rather than the amount you use. Glass skin is a Korean beauty import, which refers to shiny, glossy, translucent-looking skin that looks hydrated and luminous. It would be positively criminal to not mention this product from Rose Marie Swift’s brand. The trailblazing make-up artist’s beauty line houses a slew of products with ingredients as clean as can be. The living luminizer has been perking up cheekbones since its debut in 2009. It’s an innovative concoction of coconut oil and beeswax, which means smooth and silky skin rather than patchy and potentially flaky. It’s a really sensational product; subtle enough to make your skin look super hydrated but buildable enough to give you the most natural radiance.

The right primer really helps create a dewy and glowing base for your makeup, but without being shimmery enough to emphasise the texture. Shine bright like a diamond,” sang Rihanna. You too can shine like a goddess by perfecting the trendy “glass skin” look that originated from South Korea. The primary purpose of a primer is to prepare the skin for foundation. Depending on your skin type, this could be blurring the skin, filling in open pores, reducing shine, providing hydration, or providing a smooth canvas for make-up.” Is primer necessary? One key component of glass skin is its apparent poreless-ness. Of course, we all have pores; some of us have larger pores than others — a fact that often boils down to genetics. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, it’s impossible to physically shrink the size of your pores. “Pore sizes are usually predetermined by our genes,” says Smith. Kinsler agrees: “While it's possible to achieve a blemish-free complexion, pore size is often genetic,” and thus cannot be toggled to the degree that many people believe. While the tenants of glass skin apply mostly to, well, skin, makeup can play a key role in getting that glossy vibe, too. In addition to choosing a luminous, hydrating foundation (try the celeb-approved Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation), “a primer can go a long way” in bolstering your glass skin efforts, notes Kinser. Notably, primers can create a luminous, dewy base for foundation to glide onto the skin in an ultra-smooth manner; moreover, primers help maintain a freshly applied makeup look throughout the day. In many cases, primers — particularly luminous primers like Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer— can also add a lit-from-within radiance that mirrors that of glass skin.

How do I choose the right primer?

Glass skin is simply an appearance of virtually poreless, clear, glossy skin,” says Ayanna Smith, esthetician at The Skin Xperience. Sarah Kinsler, an esthetician who specializes in Korean skincare, echoes this sentiment: “Glass skin is a term used to describe flawless, poreless-looking skin.” The “glass” in the terminology refers to its glass-like resemblance: smooth, light-reflecting and almost translucent in its clarity — like a clean windowpane.
