The Secret to Getting Glass Skin in 5 Steps

Who doesn’t want radiant, dewy skin? It’s the hallmark of a healthy complexion, and in South Korea – the beauty capital of the world – a new, glowy trend is taking makeup lovers by storm. Enter ‘glass skin’; a look that gets skin so luminous, it appears gleaming, glossy and poreless, thanks to a combination of perfect prep and glow-giving makeup. Here’s how to try the trend…

1. Perfect Your Prep

When it comes to glow-boosting skincare, it’s not just about the products you apply; the way you apply them is also key, so get ready to press, pat and tap your complexion to perfection. Start with a cream cleanser and buff it off with a muslin cloth, making sure to concentrate on drier areas, like the cheeks or around the nose.

Then, layer a hyaluronic acid serum underneath your usual moisturiser, pressing it into pores for maximum absorption. After smoothing on your day cream, use fingertips to tap along the cheekbones, forehead and chin. This simple step gives circulation a boost, which gets skin looking flushed and dewy before you’ve even applied your base.

2. Mix and Match Your Primer

Make your primer do more by choosing one that locks down makeup and veils skin in a glassy finish. We love Miracle Prep Illuminating & Hydrating Primer. Not only does this dreamy base give you some instant luminosity, but it also harnesses blemish-battling niacinamide to improve skin tone over time.

Want to take your glow further? Add a drop of Miracle Glow Pro Universal Highlighter to the primer; an illuminating liquid that we’re calling ‘glass skin in a bottle’.
