When it comes to makeup, the foundation for a flawless finish lies in the skin itself. And the latest trend is all about achieving a luminous, glass-like complexion. Makeup artist Tamayo Yamamoto explains, “While matte finishes are less popular these days, the trend towards glass skin is definitely influenced by current global events. There’s a desire for radiance, and this dewy look is becoming the new standard.”
While the glass skin trend has taken Japan by storm, it’s essential to apply highlights strategically. “We want a polished, refined glow, not just a fresh, dewy look. That’s where strategic highlighting comes in. A touch of highlighter on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, under the eyes, tip of the nose, and chin is all you need.”
Yamamoto stresses the importance of prepping the skin for a flawless base. “Hydration is key. After generously applying toner, massage to improve circulation. Then, use a creamy blush for a healthy, natural flush that complements the overall look.”
