Are you fed up with wasting hours on glass skin promises that never pan out? We all fantasise about that perfect, radiant complexion that glows so smoothly it appears to reflect light like glass, but few of us have the budget or time for lengthy 10-step Korean skincare routines. The good news? You can get that alluring glass skin effect using L.A. Girl’s makeup products and techniques!
What Exactly is Glass Skin?
Glass skin is all about achieving a silky, well-hydrated, and glowy complexion that looks like glass's surface. It's defined by:
-
An extremely smooth texture
-
A dewy, radiant finish
-
A poreless look
-
A natural, healthy glow
This trend began in Korea and has now spread to become a worldwide beauty phenomenon that everyone desires. And thanks to L.A. Girl's price-friendly yet high-quality products, you can achieve this opulent look without sacrificing your budget!
The Glass Skin Solution: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s your step-by-step guide to glass skin makeup using some of our best picks from L.A. Girl.
Step 1: Begin with Serious Hydration
The key to glass skin is moisture. Even oily skin types shouldn't neglect this step! Following cleansing, use a light moisturiser. For a bonus, use L.A. Girl's Pro Prep Face Primer. This primer prepares your skin for makeup and provides the hydration that builds the required plump foundation for glass skin.
Step 2: Create a Flawless Base
For actual glass skin, you'll want a foundation that gives you a glow without being greasy. L.A. Girl's Radiant Foundation is ideal for this look. Its light texture gives your skin buildable coverage and a lit-from-within glow.
Application Tip: Press the foundation into your skin with a dampened makeup sponge instead of swiping it on. This is how you get that smooth, pore-smoothing effect essential for glass skin.
Step 3: Conceal Flaws with Accuracy
Glass is perfect, and so should your skin be! Use L.A. Girl's HD Pro Conceal to conceal spotty blemishes or areas of discoloration. The trick is applying only where necessary. We don't want your skin to look like plastic, just perfected skin.
Step 4: Apply a Natural Glow
Glass skin isn't entirely white; a soft glow makes your face appear healthy and radiant. Soft Matte Cream Blush from L.A. Girl provides a dewy finish that does not look even slightly applied or obvious. Blend a slight touch around the apples on your cheeks, going upwards for that natural flush appearance.
Step 5: Highlight Strategic Points
This is where the "glass" effect truly comes alive! With L.A. Girl's Strobelite Strobing Powder, highlight the high areas of your face:
-
Top of cheekbones
-
Bridge of the nose
-
Cupid's bow
-
Center of the forehead
-
A dot on the chin
The subtle sparkle in this powder picks up light beautifully without appearing glittery or tacky.
Step 6: Set Only Where Needed
Unlike other makeup looks, glass skin requires a strategic setting. Use L.A. Girl's Pro. Powder only in areas that tend to get oily (like the T-zone). Apply with a light hand to keep that dewy finish intact while preventing unwanted shine.
Step 7: Lock It In with Dew
To finish, spritz your face with L.A. Girl's Pro Setting Spray. This spray not only sets your makeup in place but also provides a bit of extra dewiness that captures the refracting quality of glass.
Pro Tips for Perfect Glass Skin
-
Exfoliate often: To make sure your makeup glides smoothly on, exfoliate 1-2 times a week.
-
Layer thin products: Several thin layers look more natural than a single thick layer.
-
Don't over-powder: Powder is the worst enemy of glass skin! Apply sparingly.
-
Touch up throughout the day: Have L.A. Girl's Luminous Glow Skin Illuminator close for instant glow touch-ups.
-
Stay hydrated: Stay hydrated, glass skin begins from the inside out!
