The “glass skin” trend has taken the beauty world by storm, and for good reason! This look emphasizes a dewy, luminous complexion that appears healthy and hydrated, resembling the smooth surface of glass. Whether you’re aiming for a natural everyday look or something more glam for a special occasion, achieving that coveted glass skin effect is easier than you think. Let’s explore the glass skin makeup trend and walk through a step-by-step tutorial to get you glowing!
What is the Glass Skin Makeup Trend?
The glass skin trend originated in South Korea as a Korean Beauty trend, where the focus is on skincare that creates a flawless, dewy finish. It’s all about emphasizing hydration and radiance. Unlike heavier glam or party makeup, the goal is to achieve a fresh and natural look that allows your skin to shine through. Think of it as creating a beautiful canvas that highlights your natural beauty!
Step-by-Step Tutorial for Glass Skin Makeup
Ready to achieve that radiant glow? Follow this step-by-step guide to master the glass skin look:
Step 1: Start with Skincare
Before diving into makeup, prepping your skin is crucial. A good skincare routine lays the foundation for a luminous finish.
Cleanser:
Use a hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping moisture.
(Try the Revolution Skin Milky-Away Hydrating Cleansing Milk).
Toner:
Apply a hydrating toner to refresh your skin and provide an extra layer of moisture.
(Check out the Revolution Skin Glyco Glow Brightening Toner).
Serum:
Use a glow-boosting serum packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C to enhance radiance. (Consider the Revolution Skin Dewy Drench Hydrating Serum).
Moisturiser:
Lock in hydration with a lightweight, dewy moisturizer. (Our is perfect Skin Hydra Heist Hydrating Moisturiser).

Step 2: Prime for Perfection
A good primer creates a smooth canvas for your makeup while adding radiance. Choose a glowy primer to enhance your skin's luminosity. (Try the Revolution Superfix Grip Primer)
Step 3: Apply Foundation
Opt for a light to medium coverage foundation with a dewy finish. Use a hydrating foundation that promotes a natural glow. (The Skin Silk Serum Foundation is a great choice & now available in 40 shades!).
Step 4: Add Concealer
Conceal any imperfections while maintaining a fresh look. Use a lightweight, creamy concealer under your eyes and on blemishes. (Try the Revolution Skin Silk Under Eye Brightener & Concealer).
Step 5: Highlight Your Glow
Highlighting is essential for achieving glass skin. Use a liquid highlighter on the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. (Get a glass-skin glow with our Revolution Beam Bright Highlighter).
Step 6: Set with a Dewy Finish
Setting your makeup properly is key to maintaining that glassy look. Use a hydrating setting spray to keep your makeup in place and add extra glow. (Our Superfix Misting Setting Spray will do the trick).
Step 7: Finish with Blush and Lip colour
A fresh flush and a pop of colour will complete your look.
Blush:
Opt for a cream blush for a more natural, dewy finish.
(The Revolution Skin Silk Marble Blush is perfect).
Lip colour:
Choose a tinted lip balm or gloss for a soft, hydrated finish.
(Try the Revolution Juicy Peptide Lip Balm).
