Are you thinking of the type of glow that makes the skin look like that of a porcelain doll? Here you start your journey in the world of glass skin makeup! This popular trend for women is not only about glowing skin; it also empowers women to embrace who they are and own it.
In this post, we will explore the ways of attaining that gorgeous glow, perfect for any event. Are you ready to upgrade your makeup and glam up your look like never before?
What is Glass Skin?
Now, let’s quickly clarify what glass skin means before going into the steps on how to achieve it. Originally promoted in South Korea, ‘glass skin’ means a face that is both hydrated and luminescent, with pores barely visible, and a texture that gives off the sheen of glass.
Everyone wants that perfect skin tone which has that distinct look of health and happiness. But don’t worry—getting this look doesn’t require you to have perfect skin; makeup can work wonders!
Hydrating Skincare Base: Glass Skin Makeup
The concept of glass skin does not begin when makeup is added to the face. There’s nothing more important than preparing the canvas. Perfect the basics of skincare by making sure your skin is properly moisturized. Wash your face with a mild cleanser and then pat your skin with a moisturizing toner with no harm to your skin. Search for some ingredients that attract moisture to the skin, such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
After that, do not neglect the serum! The treatment serum needn’t only deliver brightening agents such as vitamin C or niacinamide; it also smooths skin’s texture and addresses issues with pores. The last step is sealing the moisture with a lightweight moisturizer that is enriched with a high percentage of water. It will also facilitate making a soft, moisturized foundation on which you will later apply makeup.
Apply a Dewy Primer
You may be doing everything else right from your skincare regime but using the right primer can significantly enhance your experience. Choose a dewy or illuminating primer that will enable the skin to shine and give you that all-important glow.
Rub the primer on your face with your fingertips or apply it gently with a make-up sponge, starting from the places that would usually receive the lightest—the tops of the cheekbones, the area across the nasal area, and the brow bone.
Choose the Right Foundation
It is important to remember that the foundation of your makeup plays a role when it comes to glass skin makeup. For your skin, choose a light foundation or a moisturizing BB cream that will give your face a natural look. It is recommended to look for formulas that are marketed as giving skin the ‘dewy’ or ‘glow’. Stay away from matte finishes because they can make your skin look lifeless.
To apply the product smoothly, gently wipe a damp makeup sponge or the chosen foundation brush on the surface of your face. Remember, less is more! There is no need to apply thick layers of foundation; a thin layer will be enough, ensuring that natural skin shines through.
Add Highlights
What those people do to attain that glass-like look is to master the application of highlighter. They should use liquid highlighter creamy in texture because it leaves a stunning light-reflecting kind of finish.
Use it on the areas of your face that are lifted—the upper cheeks, the middle of the forehead, and the upper lip. This does not only give you glowing skin but also gives dimension, which will help you stand out and glow under light.
Finish with Setting Spray
In order to keep your glass skin makeup fresh and not rub off easily or lose that shine in the middle of the day, use the makeup setting spray. Search for a setting spray that would leave the skin moist and have a rather slippery feel that can bounce light off the skin. A good spray is an effective way to blend all the products and will give added freshness to the skin during the day if need be.
In Conclusion…
Glass skin makeup is therefore all about freshness on the skin and the sheen that will complete the look. Therefore, the process of skincare, perfect moisturizing products, and a proper skin glow technique can eventually help you stop dreaming of having a bright and luminous complexion. So wear your glass skin with confidence because confidence is the best outfit; let your light shine!
Well, are you ready to shine brighter than you have ever shined before? Don’t be afraid to try it—this is only the beginning of you getting to love your new appearance!
