Glowing, radiant, and naturally luminous skin has become a major beauty trend, championed by celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Yara Shahidi, who popularized the "Glazed Skin" look, a perfectly hydrated and plump complexion with a glass-like glow.
But glowy skin isn’t just a trend, it’s a beauty philosophy that focuses on healthy, radiant skin rather than covering up with heavy makeup. Originating from the K-Beauty movement with the ‘glass skin’ concept, this trend has taken over Western beauty standards, with celebrities like Zendaya, J.Lo, and Korean influencers showcasing their ultra-hydrated, luminous complexions.
How can you achieve glowy skin without relying solely on makeup? The key lies in a combination of targeted skincare and illuminating makeup products that enhance the skin’s natural radiance. Let’s explore how to achieve the perfect glow, from skincare essentials to the best makeup products.
Step 1: Skincare for Radiant Skin
According to dermatologists, achieving a glowing complexion requires focusing on three fundamental aspects: hydration, exfoliation, and protection.
1. Deep Hydration
Dull and lackluster skin is often a sign of dehydration. To keep it plump and radiant:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to hydrate from within.
- Use a brightening moisturizer rich in humectants like hyaluronic acid or polyglutamic acid, which helps retain moisture and instantly plump the skin.
💡 If you're looking for a product that deeply hydrates while enhancing radiance, Klara Cosmetics Reset 3D Moisturizer is a great choice. Infused with Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, and Squalane, it helps replenish moisture and promote a fresh, glowing complexion.
2. Exfoliation for a Natural Glow
Dead skin buildup can make the complexion look tired and dull. To prevent this:
- Use an exfoliant once or twice a week with ingredients like glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid, or fruit enzymes like pineapple extract.
- Incorporate retinoids into your routine to boost cell turnover and enhance radiance.
💡 For a gentle yet effective exfoliation, try Klara Cosmetics Reset Gentle Natural Exfoliant , which contains skin-renewing ingredients to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion.
3. Sun Protection: The Key to Long-Lasting Glow
UV damage is one of the leading causes of hyperpigmentation and dullness. To protect your skin:
- Always apply SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days.
- If you use chemical exfoliants, sunscreen becomes even more essential to prevent sun damage and sensitivity.
💡A tinted SPF can be a great option to protect and enhance the skin’s glow. Klara Cosmetics CC Cream SPF15 offers sun protection while evening out the skin tone for a naturally radiant finish.
Step 2: Makeup for the Ultimate Glow
Achieving radiant skin with makeup isn’t just about applying highlighter—it’s about choosing lightweight, luminous products that enhance your skin’s natural brilliance.
Must-Have Products for a Glass Skin Look:
✔ Illuminating primer to create a radiant base
✔ Lightweight, dewy foundation with a natural glow finish
✔ Hydrating concealer to brighten under-eye areas and imperfections
✔ Cream blush for a fresh, healthy flush that blends seamlessly into the skin
✔ Liquid or cream highlighter, applied to the high points of the face (cheekbones, Cupid’s bow, and bridge of the nose)
✔ Sheer lip gloss or tinted balm for plump, glossy lips
💡 For a flawless, luminous base, try Klara Cosmetics Zero Pores Primer, which smooths the skin and adds a dewy finish before makeup application.
How to Create a Glass Skin Look in a Few Steps
- Prep your skin with proper skincare, the more hydrated and smoother it is, the better your makeup will look.
- Apply an illuminating primer to reflect light and create a radiant base.
- Use a lightweight foundation, focusing only on areas that need coverage to keep the look fresh.
- Conceal strategically without over-layering products.
- Highlight with a cream or liquid formula, blending well for a seamless glow.
- Set with a hydrating mist to lock in the glow and keep makeup fresh throughout the day.
