Glossy Skin is nothing but skin looking lustrous, healthy and supple skin. It’s been a few years since Korean skin care first landed on our radars through the internet. Korean skin care is known for its innovative formulations, miraculous ingredients and luring ready packaging. It got us obsessed with hydrating sheet masks, introduced us to bee venom and snail mucin and even persuaded us to google words like “chok-chok,” “ampoule” and “essence.” Glossy skin is all about lustrous smooth, translucent skin. It is majorly used for skin care brands, editorials and also for fashion shows. To learn these new techniques and keep up with the trend you should join our Professional Make up Course.
Glossy Skin has not been in trend since the indulgence of social media. It has been there since the existence of Cleopatra who was said to have olivey glossy skin which might have been a result of goopy oils.
In 2014 Gigi Hadid did glossy skin for an event after which this look was taken a level ahead to the ramps. She kept it shiny and luminous and not like a wet glossy mess. It was visually appealing and caught a lot of attention. If you're a person who likes matte looks it might not be appealing to you but to catch up with this trend you must try this attractive look.
Tips to achieve glossy skin:
The process of cleansing is to be followed by a gentle face scrub, and then a hydrating toner. To bring back the natural luminosity back of your skin , you could reach for a hydrating moisturiser and localised serum or gel, especially those that target darker areas of the face like under the eyes.
The very foundation of the entire glass skin look is well hydrated skin which results in it looking dewy, and youthful. To achieve that, you’re going to need a good foundation and concealer combo. Moisturising formulations that do not become matte in texture should be your best bet to achieve that fresh and misty vibe. In terms of thickness, medium coverage can give you just the right amount of sheen without looking too cakey as the day goes by.
If you really want to go the extra mile, use a light, moisturising concealer formula which draws attention to your face.. Apply under the eyes, on the chin, the forehead, and over the cheekbones.Blending it well would give a finished complete look.
While it’s absolutely possible to look glistening and fresh with just a little foundation and concealer, highlighter isn’t against the rules of glass skin in fact highlighter gives you the glow that you need. To achieve that mirror-like aesthetic, you can mix a pinch of illuminator or liquid highlighter to go with your foundation or concealer base. Bonus:
For more natural shine, you can use a damp blending sponge to spread some liquid highlighter over your cheekbones, nose bridge, and brow bone. What you want to cover are the highest areas of your face where light might shine a little brighter. This creates an illusion of a prominent bone structure as well as adds dimension to your skin.
Now that you’ve got all that skin tone product laid down, your face might be looking like a flat canvas. But don’t worry – blush can change things up instantly . A rosy blush spread sparingly on the cheeks can round off that dewy goddess aesthetic and can give you the natural flush that your face needs.
