Additionally, Smith touts vitamin C as an essential piece of the glass skin puzzle. Vitamin C, as mentioned previously, is prized for fading dark spots and improving overall skin brightness. The ingredient, says Smith, “help(s) combat dryness and discoloration,” too.

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. 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. Sit yourself underneath a good light and identify which parts of your face the light is hitting," says Wolff. "Do it with your moisturiser newly on because your skin will be a little more wet and reflective, making it easier to work out." Where to apply your highlighter

As a final touch, spritz skin with a hydration mist or setting spray. Known to prevent dryness and to brighten and revitalize dull and tired skin, hydration mists and setting sprays typically contain moisture-binding ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) to keep skin luminescent and dewy.

'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. But while we like it on our feeds, is it wearable in the real world, away from filters and studio lights? 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.

Korean skincare— with its hydration-centric products, multi-step routines, and, of course, the concept of the sheet mask — has enamored the global skincare sphere for years. Perhaps one of the buzziest K-Beauty trends — one that has become the paradigm, in many cases, for flawless skin— is a concept known as “glass skin.” The term took hold a few years ago, but it’s still among the most coveted skin-states we know. In fact, it’s even inspired namesake products from an array of brands. Below, your guide to glass skin, including what, exactly, it is, how it can be achieved, and the products we swear by for getting the glass skin look, stat.

Glass skin is a Korean beauty import, which refers to shiny, glossy, translucent-looking skin that looks hydrated and luminous. 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. 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.

A lot of celebrities opt for glass skin makeup today, be it Jahnvi Kapoor, or glass skin queen, Alia Bhatt. 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. that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libellous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any individual, partnership or corporation; 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.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. The right skincare products are essential for a glass skin look, as shiny and smooth skin is a key part of this entire look. So, it’s best to go for lightweight products, which aren’t oily but still hydrate the skin.

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." To make your glow last longer, go over your liquid highlighter with an illuminating powder. It will set your make-up, giving the look staying power, and your skin will still look glossy. Just be careful not be too heavy-handed - that's why I prefer using brushes as they give you more control; there's less risk of moving product or overloading the skin." Can you get glass skin with imperfections? 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. To be able to choose the right primer, you need to understand your skin type. Primers are designed for different skin types – normal skin, textured skin, oily skin, dry skin, combination skin and more. When you understand your skin type, choosing the right primer becomes easy.”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. 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. 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.
