Glass Skin: Can the Dry Skin Girlies Join the Glow-Up?

Glass skin is everywhere, and we see why! The luminous, dewy, “glass-like” finish is the epitome of glowing, healthy skin. But achieving this smooth, radiant look might feel like a distant dream if you have dry skin. Not to worry—with proper techniques and products, you, too, can master the glass skin look.

Luar’s Luminous Veil Foundation is here to help. With its hydrating, lightweight formula, it’s perfect for building a dewy, flawless base that’s tailor-made for dry skin. 

But What Is The Glass Skin Trend?

Glass skin is all about a clear, luminous, and even complexion that reflects light—like a perfectly polished pane of glass. It’s achieved by focusing on skin prep, using hydrating products, and finishing with a subtle glow. Unlike heavy, matte makeup, glass skin highlights your skin’s natural beauty with a radiant finish that feels fresh and breathable.

The trend has taken the internet by storm, especially because it embraces a natural, healthy glow that, with the right approach, suits any skin type—even dry skin.

Prepping Dry Skin for a Dewy Look

Skin prep is everything when achieving a dewy look, especially for dry skin. Without the right base, your makeup can settle into dry patches, looking uneven and cakey. Here’s how to prep your skin for a smooth, glowing finish:

1. Cleanse : Start with a gentle, hydrating cleanser that preserves your skin’s moisture. A cream or oil-based cleanser works best for dry skin, keeping it balanced and supple.
2. Hydrate : Hydration is non-negotiable! Use a rich moisturizer, and if your skin needs extra nourishment, add a hydrating serum underneath. This creates the perfect base for a dewy makeup look that won’t flake.
3. Prime : Choose a hydrating, glow-enhancing cream to create a smooth, even base for your foundation. Highlighter drops can also add subtle radiance without excess shine, giving your skin a plump and refreshed look.

Choosing the Right Foundation

For a dewy look on dry skin, reach for a liquid foundation. Liquids are hydrating, blend seamlessly, and give a natural glow. Cream foundations can work but may feel heavier, while powder foundations can settle into dry patches and look dull. We’d say stick to liquids for the most naturally dewy look. Luar’s Luminous Veil Foundation is your go-to it’s lightweight, hydrating, and perfect for achieving that sought-after glass skin look.

How to Apply Dewy Foundation for Dry Skin

Here’s your step-by-step guide for applying foundation that leaves skin looking luminous and fresh:

1. Use a Damp Beauty Sponge : Apply foundation with a damp blender in thin, even layers. This keeps your look light and fresh and allows you to build coverage without feeling cakey.
   Pro Tip: Mix in a drop of face oil for extra hydration and dew.

2. Highlighter Drops for Extra Glow : Apply a cream or liquid highlighter to the high points of your face—think cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and brow bone. For overall radiance, mix a few drops of highlighter with your foundation, and you’ll have the dewiest base!
3. Light Powder (If Needed): Set only where necessary, like the T-zone or under the eyes, with a light dusting of translucent powder. This prevents shine in targeted areas while maintaining the glow.
4. Finish with Setting Spray:Lock in your look with a hydrating setting spray. This keeps your skin looking fresh, dewy, and luminous all day.

Quick Tips for Radiant Dry Skin

• Hydrate Throughout the Day : Keep a hydrating mist handy to refresh your skin and boost radiance whenever you need it.
• Avoid Matte Formulas: Stick to hydrating, dewy options for foundation, blush, and bronzer to keep your look cohesive and glowing.

Achieving a dewy foundation look on dry skin takes some prep and skin-loving products, but with these expert tips, you’ll be ready to glow. Remember to keep your application light, use powder sparingly, and finish with a setting mist to ensure all-day radiance. Keep glowing, beauties!
