HOW TO GET GLASS SKIN MAKEUP

Skin so smooth, so clear, so luminous it looks like light is passing through it. Here is how to create it.

 

Glass skin is the ultimate beauty goal. Poreless, reflective, luminous. Skin that looks like it is made of light itself.

Originating from K-beauty, the glass skin makeup trend has taken over social media and beauty feeds everywhere. And the good news? It is far more achievable than it looks.

Here is your complete guide to glass skin makeup.

WHAT IS GLASS SKIN MAKEUP?

Glass skin is defined by three qualities. Evenness. Luminosity. Depth.

It is skin that looks smooth and poreless, with a reflective finish that catches light from every angle. Not shiny. Not greasy. Genuinely luminous.

The key is hydration layered with the right light-reflecting products. The more supple your skin, the more glass-like the result.

HOW TO GET GLASS SKIN MAKEUP STEP BY STEP

HYDRATE 

Prep your skin with a hydrating toner, serum and moisturiser. Let each layer absorb fully. Glass skin makeup lives or dies by what is underneath. The more hydrated your skin, the more glass-like the finish above.

BASE 

Apply the lightest possible foundation. Mix a drop with your moisturiser for a skin-tint effect, or press the thinnest layer possible into your skin with a damp sponge. You want to even out your skin tone while still letting your actual skin show through.

FLUSH 

Tap PHLICKER PH-Activated Blush onto your cheeks with your fingertips and blend well. Cream blush is essential for glass skin. It melds with skin and adds warmth without any powdery light-absorbing effect. Keep it subtle and skin-like.

GLASS 

This is the step that creates everything. Pat Inner Light Dewy Skin Illuminator onto the highest points of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and your brow bone. The ultra-fine shimmer particles create that signature reflective quality that defines glass skin. Build gradually. Less is always more here.

FINISH 

Keep everything else minimal. A tinted lip, a coat of mascara. Let your luminous complexion be the hero of the look.

THE PRODUCTS THAT CREATE GLASS SKIN

Inner Light Dewy Skin Illuminator

The glass skin MVP. If there is one product that creates the glass skin effect more than any other, it is a great liquid illuminator. Inner Light sinks into skin rather than sitting on top. The result is a soft diffused glow that separates glass skin from obvious shimmer. Subtle. Beautiful. Genuinely luminous.

PHLICKER PH-Activated Blush

Glass skin needs warmth and dimension. Without it, even the most luminous complexion can look cold and one-dimensional. PHLICKER adds the warm flush that makes your glass skin look alive and human. Apply lightly with your fingertips for the most natural finish.

GLASS SKIN TIPS FOR EVERY SKIN TYPE

• Oily skin: use a water-based moisturiser and apply Inner Light Illuminator sparingly on cheekbones only

• Dry skin: double up on hydrating skincare underneath for extra dewiness and luminosity

• Combination skin: focus illuminator on cheekbones and avoid the T-zone

• All skin tones: Inner Light Dewy Skin Illuminator is formulated to flatter every complexion beautifully

Glass skin is not an impossible standard. It is a technique.

With Inner Light Dewy Skin Illuminator and PHLICKER PH-Activated Blush, you have the tools to create this luminous look without spending a fortune.

Your glass skin era starts now.
